2017 US Bar Table Championships 8-Ball: Shane Van Boening vs James Aranas Finals-Set 2

[@user-us4ws9px2s]

I actually think bartables are more harder to play than full size since more cluster solving.

[@DeeboComing]

They definitely are. I grew up playing on a 7 foot bar table at my house and it's rare that I can ever run a rack. It takes so much knowledgeable cue ball control to break up those clusters and get a decent shot. 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@tlinjr]

“More harder”

[@user-us4ws9px2s]

@@tlinjr much harder

[@mickm9585]

Even more harder

[@MrSacman88]

"much more difficult" lol

[@5153flash]

At 36:00 they break last game and it took 20 minutes to play it out. Almost 10 minutes for first 2 safties,,which they nudged the cue ball a millimeter. I would rather watch grass grow!!! Shot clock is needed in all events IMO.

[@frontdesk6225]

probably cause u suck at playing

[@aakashdeepmundi7226]

I think they should keep the shot clock for off for some tournaments, players perform way better without the added pressure, and they can come up with much better shots. Yeah, it can be boring to watch, but the players enjoy these way more. They have no shot clocks in snooker, and some of the shots players come up with are nuts! That, and the vibe is much more relaxed, where players have the ability to perform better

[@bassinbilliards6279]

5153flash These guys are #1 & #10 Men's Fargo rating worldwide. Shut up

[@marshalcraft]

Adhd generation, needs every condensed into a 3 minute video.

[@kevinfang8600]

is there a way to mute the commentary without muting the sound of the balls?

[@creglia]

Kevin Fang nope.

[@GivThmHal]

İs there a way to mute the dumb comments without sounding like a bag of balls?

[@xTheSweetyMan]

I fucking wish. Sounds like duder over here is snacking on chicken wings while I'm trying to enjoy a game of pool

[@ozmanix]

Seriously…it’s like he’s blowing the mic…

[@doug8237]

What do you think?

[@creglia]

How have I never heard of Aranas before?! 801 wow

[@DRAG0NSIN7]

does this guy go by dodong diamond?

[@leoandsan]

yes

[@michaelvayan9682]

Boy these announcers are a regular barrel of laughs.

[@johnbeard3733]

I miss machine gun Butera, Strickland and Reyes . Playing fast and loose.

[@INDOBILLIARD]

bar table is 7ft ?

[@pearlio7297]

Yep

[@billplatt9936]

I really would like to see more over head shots.

[@infinimetrical]

I don't think I've ever seen a bar table with a cloth on it that made plays as fast, or smooth as such. Nor do I think I've ever seen a table as clean as that table. (It's alright, I understand it's a tournament. They get to have the good stuff to play on/with.)

[@Leonarco333]

I have. When my local bar re-clothed their tables they looked almost this good. For about an hour.

[@lowtestguy431]

What type of cameras and streaming setup are you using? The video quality is great!

[@MelodicEgghead]

20:43 can someone please help me out? What are the announcers saying about the cue ball as to why it was cleaned. Are they saying the cue ball would get skeed or ski the cue ball if it's dirty? What happens if it's dirty?

[@MelodicEgghead]

@Erin B Is that what they're actually saying though? Doesn't it sounds like they're saying skeed or skid?

[@Vip3rC4in0022]

They are saying ‘skid’. In snooker they call it a ‘kick’. It’s when chalk (or ‘dirt’ or something) on the cueball or on the cloth makes the ball jump and go off line - or causes a bad contact on the object ball. It usually results in a missed shot or bad position on the next shot. A little bit of chalk on the cueball, on the rail or on the cloth can affect the way the ball rolls by quite a bit.

[@MelodicEgghead]

@@Vip3rC4in0022 Thank you, but it sounds like they are saying "skeed" lol

[@nic343]

i dont get how 52:20 is a foul, he still made a ball in

[@alexhowell9987]

Its 8 ball, gotta call your shots

[@Drockvr4]

Bca rules, not the talentless apa garbage......

[@mehdim544]

Suprised he didn't call that pocket the way he shot it

[@me4you72]

What is the rack type? Why hand place the balls?

[@alucardx1234]

Magic rack

[@markabrice]

Weak audio--hardly any sounds from the table.

[@MrLoveisSweet]

The quality of players and video coverage are great, but the announcers are egotists in talking constantly like this is all about them, and they are dumb in having their mouths so close to the microphone. We hear every noise they make whether they talk or not...their voices are amplified like three times as loud as the sound of the players and billiard balls being hit. Let's be more professional than this.

[@MrNikosnik]

3:00 first game I would break the same balls by poting the 2 ball,,,, it seems easier to

[@kingtime08921]

It sounds like the announcers are eating bananas. Gross

[@zainalabedinsaad]

What is the point under the name ?

[@SarahShootsPool]

That's their Fargo rating handicap

[@marku4173]

Why the table looks so small?

[@Aerosolist]

Because it is small :) Its a 7ft table.

[@CharleswoodSpudzyofficial]

aka "bar table"

[@billplatt9936]

It's like watching paint to dry!

[@jerrymarkey]

very slow and boring shot clock needed

[@xtbum3339]

One player specifically too slow.

[@Ivansky1]

What Happened At 52:20!?!?!?

[@Ivansky1]

Erin B He made that Ball!!!

[@Vip3rC4in0022]

You have to call the ball and the pocket you want to pot it in. No ‘slop rules’. In other words, no flukes allowed. He didn’t call it, so he loses his turn.

[@110dylanfowler]

This isn't APA where your ball falls you shoot you have to call the ball to the pocket.

[@solarnmore4443]

STOP BREAKING FROM THE CENTER / THE SOLAR MAN

[@johnseiber4586]

Slow down. Speedy recovery

[@rawhideleather]

Those commenters sound like they both need a nap.

[@metou3072]

What are the percentages for...rating..Shane is up 1-0 has 70% other guy has 0 wins but 30%...they add to 100%..then2-0 82% for Shane and 18% for other guy

[@wesleysnipes1873]

It's their chances of winning the match.

[@dougmott8926]

Can wear hats?

no cleaning the ball in the middle of a rack!

ok now I agree, the commentators are nooby

[@tarundaodat3571]

I’ll advise you guys not to look at this match with earbuds on ... hearing all the details when these two men breathing and the saliva in their mouth ewwww this is grossing me out

[@adnanandriono8796]

Its tiredful listening to these commentators heavy-breathing all the time

[@oarlock9534]

james aranas is the slowest, most boring player I've seen.

[@MrSacman88]

I honestly wish that when players reach this level they would dress up a bit more than some silly cap and t-shirt.

[@stdavis22]

this is the reason pool has never taken off over the years with younger players...its a game played in bars and pool halls, no one is trying to wear a tuxedo, the sponsor style shirts look silly as hell too. any kind of jeans/slacks and a clean shirt will do

[@procrastinator6902]

Sure, THAT'S the reason 🙄 No, there's plenty of younger players getting into it. The real issue is because it's incredibly difficult to do so. Individual sports are extremely competitive and just playing well isn't enough, you have to win and do so regularly to ever become known in pool. Then there's all associated costs, the fact that elite players can play for decades, and the relatively low pay all make it nearly all but impossible for the top end of the top 1% of players to ever break out. With that said, while I believe the old vest and bowtie look was silly and thankfully now a relic of a bygone era, Shane's competitor does look a bit absurd especially with that ridiculous hat.

[@johnseiber4586]

What’s jerk

[@omhril7100]

Why is 46:35 a foul?

[@austengreco9899]

Omhril it wasn't a foul.

[@omhril7100]

But then why does he lose his turn?

[@omhril7100]

Oh wait I see now, he hit the 6 first so it was a foul

[@austengreco9899]

No, he was solids. The six is his ball and he was trying to bank it across side and missed, so that ended his turn

[@austengreco9899]

There was no foul

[@user-us4ws9px2s]

is he death? Shane? heard that.

[@lesmcqueen697]

At 7:15 this should have been a foul... the cue ball was still rolling when SVB moved balls to start the next rack.

[@kevinphan9907]

Les McQueen and where tf was the cue ball gonna roll to? Calm down dude, the game was obviously over

[@fastone371]

@@kevinphan9907 He didnt touch anything near the cue ball or the cue ball itself, if you call a foul on that its because you are a douche and its the only chance you have to win a game.
