[@billiardnetwork]

it s a great match. glad u r enjoying it Jack

[@talhanafie6729]

Strickland sounds nicer when he’s commentating then when he’s playing 😀

[@breakingballswithtony6897]

I didn't realize that Canadians had a break?! Lol nice to know. Love the game and commentary...i learn so much from Earl.

[@billiardnetwork]

Earl is an encyclopedia:)

[@edgerat]

Used to use this break way back in the day and then stopped playing for a long time. Just getting back into it and this break is so good for 8-ball! Never new I was using the Canadian Break :)

[@billiardnetwork]

Yeah good control... sometimes used in 10 ball as well

[@bradleykyle6493]

They need to break from the rail because Duffrin cues are only 56"... or whatever that is in centimeters.

[@dwakeling38]

Great commentary, there are a lot of us 8-ball players that would love to see more of this game, so many options and so much strategy to appreciate.

[@aljordan2698]

Thanks again guys! Love the 8 ball!! Just gotta make sure at 720 or better, KZbin knocks it down to 360! 👍🏻

[@billiardnetwork]

it was prob still rendering as it is 720

[@Progress_vs_time]

Yes, weekly dose of right bottom

[@azmathismail1611]

XD

[@amandobaldeo4786]

Had to watch that a second time, such a great match and even better with earl's commentary. I'm watching from mauritius island 🌴🌴

[@guymanges3628]

Yes , thank you that, Billiard Network.

[@Raceto9]

8-Ball is my favorite game, by far. Loving these videos! 👍

[@mangooleh]

I can listen to Earl all day! lovely work.

[@billiardnetwork]

Thanks

[@guymanges3628]

Long time Fan of all three...

[@WELLBRAN]

Best thing about Earls commentary is he is describing it as if he himself is playing it

[@billiardnetwork]

True

[@nickbonvino2292]

Love Earl’s commentary! Canadian break is awesome!

[@billiardnetwork]

Always something new comes up with Earl

[@azbdizzy4176]

Good match. Always enjoy Earl's commentary.

[@billiardnetwork]

Thanks azb

[@Daviswilder1]

Killer commentary

[@billiardnetwork]

Thanks dw

[@vincentgardner853]

MORE EARL!!!!!!!!

[@VeritasForYou]

These guy's physique is a perfect argument why is the pool not at Olimpics.

[@Diasanti]

Just because you have some girth, doesn't mean your out of shape. Look at heavy weight boxers, MMA players, baseball, and football players.

[@Keefer-mq7gx]

All right BN. Earl said he would like to commentate a straight pool match. You must know we would love that too. So how about it?

[@billiardnetwork]

Coming, but he already did one i 🤔

[@Keefer-mq7gx]

@@billiardnetwork I will try to find it . Thanks

[@kcmsterpce]

Melling is a BEAST. He played great.

[@billiardnetwork]

True especially in eight ball

[@rickguzman7750]

Very good Earl, good match..

[@MoeWhiskey]

Thanks again Earl

[@billiardnetwork]

thanks for watching

[@kaivonweymarn3376]

Da war einer in Form!

[@WELLBRAN]

Chris Melling is a genius. And he comes from a snooker background originally

[@billiardnetwork]

Genius shot maker, lacks consistency though

[@ericschneid3274]

Earl is awesome

[@billiardnetwork]

Thanks Eric

[@rabihavi8062]

great ryhtm by melling

[@michaelsweeney3374]

Earl. When you say with a little left or right English on just about every shot with an angle is that to counter throw?

[@billiardnetwork]

Most of the times

[@syxQn]

Why did melling put right English on 4:55 for the easy follow? Was it accidental?

[@Progress_vs_time]

Must have been, if he made the shot he wouldn't be on the next ball with that english

[@thethinbluelineZ06]

Is that a 9 foot table?

[@bob733333]

They need to start using 4 inch pockets with deeper shelves. These look almost like 5. Way too easy for good players.

[@billiardnetwork]

It is a debate worth having

[@dclee2913]

Some realy nice outs by Melling...., tell you that.....hahahaha

[@billiardnetwork]

:)

[@5153flash]

@ 19:12 what kind of spot is that?? He didnt put the 8 ball on the spot?? He did,,then moved it??

[@benis_poner]

The eight ball is spotted below the one ball

[@billiardnetwork]

First ball is on the spot

[@marginality270]

It appears he was trying to put the 8 on the spot it would occupy in a full rack of 15 balls. That is certainly not in keeping with _WPA's_ 8-Ball rules. I wonder if it has more to do with some uniquely-British version of Black Ball.

[@5153flash]

@@marginality270 Ya,I still dont understand it,,but Oh well? lol

[@5153flash]

I have always wondered how Chris Melling is not number 1? He shoots great and knows the banks well

[@bob733333]

He gets sloppy a lot.

[@billiardnetwork]

Cue ball control is a bit sloppy

[@hatesitrick]

Earl Strickland claims to have a world 8 ball title, which one is this? As I can't see what he means.

[@marginality270]

Selected random thoughts i had while watching: 0:42 (length: 15 seconds) One of the reasons why 8-Ball is among my least-favored cue sports is precisely because there seems to be as many versions of rules as there are sports bars. For their coverage of billiard matches, camera people get their criticism the old-fashioned way: They *earrrrrn* it. For example: What was so much more important to show here at 15:45 (length: 15 seconds) than He's shape on the next ball that the camera shot had to be switched before the cue ball came to rest? Apparently, _nothing;_ because it was switched back a couple of seconds later, which was just enough time for us miss clear sight of _how_ the resulting position happened _while_ it happened. ...and... What was so urgent and so much more important to show here at 35:30 (length: 7 seconds) than whether or not Melling pocketed a ball on the break that the camera shot had to be switched an instant before we could see clearly if the _only_ ball that seemed likely to go into a pocket actually got there? In these two cases -- and many more -- they switched from a shot of something we needed to see to a shot of NOTHING we needed to see. Well, at least they didn't have hand-held or pedestal cameras they could use to screw up much worse. Thank Zeus for that!

[@guymanges3628]

This is a 2013 tournament, why reshow ?

[@billiardnetwork]

Because of the quality of the match. Also this series is about giving Earl air time where he shares his vast knowledge of the game.

[@rawheadrex8487]

Earl needs to commentate on the match with this run out in - kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHynaHiar7Kdd68

[@Maxrox100]

Casually saying he ran 148 balls

[@WSrunna15]

Battle of the fat pool guys?
