shane's breaking with his playing cue

[@gamesilove7]

I think his playing cue and break cue are same in colours

[@RT-Ford]

@@gamesilove7 I think he's playing with his breaking cue.

Man this guy Clent takes an eternity to play

[@vincentgolden5352]

Not as long as some longer than others lol

[@emanuelbeilman]

tarda mucho en tirar Kaci, por suerte no es por tiempo sino esta afuera hace rato.

[@rubberducky1853]

Lag at 0:45

[@tone-yo7192]

So why do they call him “Klenty”?

[@freddieagnir3138]

“Klenti” is the diminutive form of Eklent. Like Georgie for George and Freddie for Fred.

[@tone-yo7192]

Interesting. Thanks.

[@greystafa1278]

@@freddieagnir3138 nah mate, i think you wrong,maybe he told them to call him like that because here in Albania we use to make names shorter, for example Beni for Arben, Bledi for Bledar, Klenti for Eklent, Eli for Elidon......

[@KlevisBalla]

@@greystafa1278 thats exactly the same

[@ev6558]

@@greystafa1278 That's literally what he said.

[@dcmtrader]

Shot clock, please!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Alban77777]

Kaci make me fall a sleep boring

[@chriswarren9857]

well he doesn't make me fall asleep.. but yes he is a slow player.. many action didn't pull thru because kaci opponents requested a shot clock but he declined that...

[@hammerlane3871]

you can tell shane genuinely likes him by how he looks before the lag

[@calvinchristensen9544]

What are y’all on?

[@SuperSquasher]

Spoiler, Kaci takes 19 minutes to aim then misses, repeat

Eklent Kaci is Peter Ebdon of 10-ball billiards! 😡

[@MegaDragonXII]

Is it just me or did both of these guys played worst in this match than they usually do?

[@jiffypoops]

tight pockets !

[@robertlee5153]

No I agree with you they usually play better both these guys but it’s jus the tension between the guys they both know they can play an they get over thinking an miss I do this a lot when I play

[@rickvassell8349]

Does Shane look like Charlie Brown?

[@WSrunna15]

😂

[@calvinchristensen9544]

Shut up and give the man the respect he deserves.

[@otakurocklee]

At 27:40, why can't Shane just cut the 1-ball in?

[@miamiwax5504]

He should have made that kick. Wide margin for error.

[@RT-Ford]

It would be a backward cut shot. It could be done with extreme low left English. You shoot to miss the right edge of the one ball, spinning the cue ball back into the one, but you might scratch in the opposite corner. Very tough shot.

[@UniversalUnibrow69]

No doubt about it, Shane is the man... but his shirt is not

[@paulwarner1067]

[@MrNikosnik]

That first game 2-10 combo, if he hit the diamond on the small rail and hard, I believe the ten ball would of gone to the upper right hand corner pocket!!! ^✓^ Shane we're is your fantasy!! Lol sike I admire Shane ✓√✓√✓

[@ioseasy2875]

US Open badly needs a shot clock. Kaci is overrated and deliberately delays when shooting a shot.

[@28jsal]

Kaci Is bad for the sport of pool

[@tristanplays7377]

You're jealous mate

[@gtrmusic69]

Worst commentators EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@freddieagnir3138]

I think George and I are willing to hear constructive criticism. Seeing as we are the “worst commentators ever,” we can only improve! Could you give me some examples where we could stand to gain such improvement? Thanks in advance.

[@3bringmemusic3]

@@freddieagnir3138 I wouldn't say worst ever, but it was a bit jarring at times. You talk over each other a lot, and often one repeats what the other just said. Nattering during the actual break shot and too much talk unrelated to the game at hand. There was a lot of discussion of your personal playing experience, which is a bit dodgy as quite frankly nobody really cares. Leave silence if you have nothing to add, and try to make sure each statement has a purpose (too much "yeah, yeah, definitely")

[@ev6558]

@@freddieagnir3138 I prefer you to George since it seems like you're actually aware of what's happening around you, but you both generally talk too much. I'm a pool player who has only ever played pool and yet when I want to watch billiards on KZbin I much prefer the snooker videos because the commentators know when their input is necessary and when to just be quiet and watch the pros play. There is nobody watching this channel who is so ignorant of the game of pool that they can't figure out on their own that a player is taking time to weigh their options, they don't need constant talking to reassure them that the game is still being played.
