So crazy to me that no one really is there. If I were within a hundred miles I would’ve drove there just to see them play.

[@xjcfreezy]

I with you my guy I idolise Svb wish to meet him one day the goat

[@necessarytruthszig]

Could not agree more with you!

[@ATproductions-jf7ym]

Pool should be bigger than it is 😢

[@alphacapo]

On a bar table if you get out of line by a couple inches on one shot you have to change your whole pattern. Happens all the time. Big table u have wide open lines and can go around table using the rails. U can't do that on a bar box. So you constantly have to play small shape

[@finchaplin]

Rack 5, Skyler Woodward, great clearance.

[@Jmorrisfishing]

finchaplin I agree that was a Great run out for how difficult he made it.

[@organizedchaosmark]

Luck. That was a chaotic run.

[@legendhavok1723]

Love watching these guys play, but when you see a shot made, then get 2 sets of ads between that and the next one, kinda makes you wonder about the pace of play. Lets get a shot clock in here please.

[@robertreese2600]

Astonishing that they could not understand that Shane did not like the angle on the ten and came back at it for better position. Holy moly.

[@jamesreynoso4447]

What size are these bar tables?

[@stephenburdess2914]

These commentators kick ass.

[@jaypisme2343]

On a bar table shooting 8 ball you will change your mind a few times on the pattern

[@parryhooper]

The commentary is hilarious but the confusion on run outs is because it's a bar table.

[@Opinionated23-g3e]

The announcers sound like a person coming out of a coma.

[@MrDkelsay]

Dude I was all ready to chill out and watch pool, instead I hear this audio and it just pretty much ruins it. Had to mute. The commentary is ok, mediocre, but all the grunts and groans, heavy breathing and the sound of swallowing and tongues moving around in mouths, it’s like these dudes just ate lunch and are having indigestion. You can hear their breath rattling around, it’s like they are inside whispering length to the ear but you just hear gross noises. Also, the excessive talking about the 1st rack was just lame. Sorry but there aren’t too many bar box matches compared to matches on 9 ft tables. I enjoy watching but this audio need be recorded more considerately of the listener.

[@troysheldon6245]

The mumble mouth announcers are the worst.

[@phillipwilliams2249]

yeah, i never cared for jays commentarys, but he did know one of the greatest players well, to ever weild a cue....LOUIS ROBERTS...ST. LOUIS LOUIS

[@MikeyD22]

On top of that, I think they were sedated right before this match.

[@creedolala6918]

sky's break is crazy consistent making that corner ball, but leaves these ugly clusters so he has to do lots of heroics to run out...

[@alexorozco303]

That's why the side break is shit. Clusters all the time

[@oxygenbandit1027]

@@alexorozco303 it’s a bar table.. lol

[@miamiwax5504]

Chinese have it right. Shot clock. Alternating break.

[@ethanletzer3507]

Guys why are you complaining about the pattern after they run out??? These are 2 of the best pool players in the world, let them figure it out. Take notes from Jay and George

[@davidcollins6778]

These commentators make laugh would to hear them doing all the games they make it so much fun

[@wayburn1]

shane's last game was a classic illustration of "study long study wrong". Sometimes I think he does it to show us what a great shot he is. The old timers used to laugh at me when I got bad position "a good pool player don't need shape"

[@JonWitsellPhotographicArts]

Audio is out of sync. Again.

[@tweekend]

Do you guys care about the audio quality on this things at all? Out of sync and too low, same as before.

[@johnnyroc]

Moral of the story if you scratch with the head break don't switch to the 2 ball break. Stick with the head break and maybe move the cb a few inches smh.

[@jerryrobertsguitars]

what's with all the senseless laughing by the commentators. what are they smokin' ?. commentary on the game is not that good. I turned the volume down.

[@bgjb-r1499]

1 minute shot clock. Please!!

[@JDWCDJR]

That 5th rack.. wow. SW using all his skills.

[@hammerlane3871]

I think they both challenged each other to shoot the hardest patterns they could find lol that's the only way this makes sense. Commentating was pretty funny though

[@mescellaneous]

if you understand billiards in general, you should realize playing safe when opponents has 7 options left is ridiculously dumb. all you need is one ball as demonstrated in straight pool. one ball can engineer a run out, if there is an angle to open balls up.

[@brjones27]

Man, I wish I could play this guy in 8 ball. Well, both of them. This is where I was best, 8 ball on a smaller table. Having grown up on a huge table, they all seemed too easy.

Bar box implies it’s a 3 1/2’ x 7’ Recreational is 4’ x 8’ Regulation is 4 1/2’ x 9’ Most bars put the 7’ in because they can fit more, cost less to get and maintain

ON THE TOPIC OF SHOULD SLOP BE ALLOWED ? Well lets see what do you gain and what do you lose. The advocates say it adds excitement to the game.. such a statement reminds me of when ignorant people clap when they see a ball slop in, granted theirs shots that werent actually slopped in, but appeared to have, and the ones that were slopped in sometimes to the unknowing eye appeared to be intentional, but the skilled player and the knowledgeable watcher USUALLY can tell the differance, as far as the added excitement, personally i never get excited over shit in balls..at least not since i had 1 month experiance in game...say when i was 13 yrs old. NOW imagine the players are hill hill for state, city, or smaller championship... one player shits in 3 ball then proceeds to run out the easy remaining rack..whereas without the shit the opponent would have run the easy rack..what we gained in some eyes ( the ignorant few) was a bit of excitement. What the opponent lost was his bid for title, that he may have practiced for twice as hard, and been twice as skilled as the lucky ass. What the spectators lost was the answer to the question who is the states, citys, etc. champion, simply put absolutely no one knows..they can guess at best...I say the dubious excitement to the knowing is to high a price to pay....Now thats just one shit shot that could have caused this travesty of justice..in reality ive seen numerous shit shots in a few minutes, like we all have, and thats just for state, or whatever title...how much more terrible for world title, And for the idiot that says its an even chance for both players to slop balls in, i say such an ignorant person is not from this planet, because everyone from this planet knows some people are luckier than others on any given day, For the retard that says well it wouldnt be 9 ball without slop, many many games and sports progress thru rule changes to better the event. I say, dont change the rule on any game unless it could change the outcome in an unfair way. (obviously this could). say costing player or team the most important thing they have trained for for years and years...Or lets forget players/teams of countries and there hard work and let the few ignorant get some false excitement. (how stupid is that), Now we all realize ever since we were in 1st grade theres going to be some crybabies who will lay on the floor, kicking their feet, wailing etc. If the more skilled, trained or superior individual has the advantage every time, due to skill. so the unskilled crybaby will lobby the teacher or parent or principle to allow in a measure of luck. then the namby pamby person of position, teacher, parent, principle, tournament director... will say..yeh lets make it more even, so lets allow luck, that way its not same winner every time. As if thats more important than finding the most deserving, i love pool but this one point im so tired of debating, with idiots for the last twenty years..im ready to stop watching pool and instead just watch two unskilled morons flip a coin over and over to see who,s the best at flipping....how exciting.
