Admittedly, I did NOT have the greatest time covering this match. Although it was an honor, I was ill prepared and Truman and I are not used to working with each other. In Truman's defense, he does not have all the experience as a commentator that he should most likely have earned before doing such a high profile match. But hey, this video is FREE, remember. Beat me or join me!

You& Truman needs to read up on your pool player's and who the best is and was, Efren Reyes is not the best player that ever lived, the best player in the world is Alfredo de Oro he has 22" world titles in straight pool & 22" world titles in 3 cushion billiards, Efren Reyes don't come close to that margin, Alfredo de Oro is Nick named ** the grand daddy of pool** because he's the best ,go study pocket billiards so all you commentators can stop lying to pool player's and pool fans.

So when you play the object ball OFF another object ball it's a carom, and when you play the cue ball off a ball to re-use the cue ball to pocket another, it's a billiard. Is that correct? I'd (earnestly) like to get this accurate. :) Thanks for watching -- and thank you also for your edification.

Honestly, besides watching this video several times a week for shooting inspiration, I truly enjoy your completely sincere reactions to the amazing shots made by both of my #1 players (they're tied in my book,lol). Please, PLEASE do more commentary!!! I've seen a video of your game and it makes me happy that this game, obsession is still alive and carrying on.

@oceanmanclam12 жыл бұрын
A carom is any contact between two balls other than the initial contact of the cue ball to the object ball after the stroke. A billiard is the when an object ball redirects the cue ball into the ball intended to be pocketed. This comes from billiards where the cue ball must strike two object balls to receive points. SO, every billiard shot--like the one at 9:57--is a carom shot, but not every carom is a billiard shot. However, using the terms in this manner applies only to pocket billiards.

You may all think Truman sounds like an idiot, but he has a lot of knowledge of this game. Ronnie and Efren played some amazing shots and stroked the balls with strokes that are so hard and that is why Truman sounded the way he did. If you goto Hardtimes and gamble with Truman make sure to bring your whole bankroll cause you are going to need it.

The day you goto Hard Times and play on table 1 and 6 you will find out. If you ever watch Incardona commentate on those 2 tables he does the exact same thing.

Not everybody who watches these things is a jaded knowitall who knows everything there is to know about the tiny world of professional pool--and if that describes you, just turn your sound off, shouldn't be too hard.

Shot at 10ish minute mark is a billiard.. carom is when you pocket a ball by hitting an object ball and having that object ball strike another object ball.

Especially if both cue and object balls have chalk on them when they hit each other massive throw can happen or like the old truck to put chalk in two balls then freeze them together for trick shots.
