[@wraygehouse]

Bergman is a great player, but his pre shot routines drive me nuts.

[@Bluehorseshoe4]

Jeremy Jones wasn’t half the player Justin has become including ALL games

[@TonyMontana-bl3qe]

The young players 🎱 play better than the Old pros?

[@swansdownriver1018]

This is why James is my favorite Filipino player now ⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@justhuman1225]

James is the next legend

[@vic09x]

Nice Pro Clothes Mr Bergman.

It looks comfortable 🤷🏽‍♂️

I am a huge Justin Bergman fan and wish him all the success possible in life and pool.

[@trple2]

Love the way he plays. Good touch and control. Thoughtful. Reminds me a bit of Varner...that might be a good guy for him to talk to in pushing to the next level.

[@BillMorganChannel]

@@trple2 Let us hope and pray there is a Mosconi Cup this year with an audience!

What is that shaft burgman is playing with

[@justinbryson5548]

It is a Kielwood shaft. Low Deflection shaft, made by Pat Diveney. Lomax may have made it though, but I think it is a Diveney Kielwood shaft.

[@kayfrost7014]

Looked like Aranas won the lag.

[@alexcollins1630]

I got to see Justin at at 9 ball tournament in Alton,Illinois at Riverbend Billiards. He is a cool guy and a great shot!!

[@kerrmoney]

Alex Collins they are open?

[@alexcollins1630]

This was when I lived in Illinois 4 years ago. The covid I highly doubt they are open. A few pool halls in N.C. are open though

[@kerrmoney]

I understand, unfortunately I do live in Illinois

[@jsung352]

Justin Bergman fan here!

[@concerncitizen8988]

James is just another upcoming Filipino pool player who's making a niche for himself in the pool world. He's got good fundamentals to be a great player and potentially to become a world champion. He's currently based and campaigning in the US.

[@josefinojavier7550]

Too bad James lost the Finals to the same player he beat in the Semi-Finals where there is no reward of twice to beat for topping the winners side.

[@TOPpicksWorldwide0428]

james is a beast, still undefeated 💪 go for the title dodong diamond 💎💎

[@justinbryson5548]

Yeah, but Bergman had him beat on several of those games, and made really bad mistakes. Love Aranas though. Really great player.

[@tonyzelinko]

I would have tried to break out the 8 he had a natural almost perfect angle off the seven. That 8 had to be just a hair off the rail to make it look that easy. He is a beast.

[@tyarnold4088]

I'm sorry but whoever is commentating with Jeremy Jones is a Gump. JJ did a great job as always.

[@fatjonhasani5529]

Where i can see kaci vs robinson

[@52alkom]

Glad finally a cue maker giant has stepped into the kielwood territory. That Phoenix shaft looks solid and being an OB the deflection has to be minimal. Love that smokey tone that wood has

[@greeneyeddevil1]

TheDjentGuy what are you referring to?

[@52alkom]

@@greeneyeddevil1 not much into cues I imagine? Bergman used to use a kielwood shaft from a custom cue maker,Pat diveney. They are hard to find, and can be quite expensive. Now he is using the new OB cues Phoenix shaft, which js a kielwood shaft ( maple put through a heating process. It's stiffer, drier and get's that kind of maroon tone) and they retail at $250. Ob being a production cue maker, not custom, these shafts will get more recognition and widespread.

[@justinbryson5548]

I thought that Pat Diveney made his Kielwood shaft.

[@52alkom]

@@justinbryson5548 justin announced like a week ago? On his facebook he would be endorsing OB cues using the new Phoenix shaft.

[@justinbryson5548]

@@52alkom okay, I assumed that was a Kielwood shaft he was shooting with. Looks like Kielwood. I read about the shaft, but OB does not say their shaft is Kielwood.

[@jimm1346]

Great match I just had to turn the volume off so I didn't have to hear Jeremy never stop taking about what a player could do should do and everything in between.Other sports commentary is that way they mainly comment on what they see happen or whats happening and thats much better than tring to analyze 3 different ways they can execute a shot and then they end up doing something els. Most people that watch pool know what going and just want to watch.

[@BillMorganChannel]

I personally love his commentary.

[@pedroarellano4266]

To each their own, I also LOVE his commentary. He's taught me a TON about leaves. I'm starting to find the right plan now because of him. NOW, I need to learn to how to execute the plan, Lolz. I think you're in a small minority, bud. I see at least nine positive comments for every negative about his commentary.

[@jimm1346]

@@pedroarellano4266 My point is he way over does it, especially One pocket. Like I also said I can just mute him. I'm already at a high level and I really don't like even watching One Pocket unless it's 2 super high level players. I can watch and learn I don't need Mr. Jones constantly talking about 5 different ways the players can shoot. I do like commentary just not his style.

[@JimJones-kk8pb]

Bergman really needs to work on his hygiene, was near him and he literally stunk.

[@sethfisher100]

1:08:31 That is an incredibly difficult shot to execute.

[@5153flash]

these guys make it look so easy. When you go watch the high amateur level play,,,you can see how they are almost but not quite there yet. lol

[@justinbryson5548]

Yeah, I would have never even thought to try to make it with lower inside English. I would have played that shot with high left English. Very difficult shot, and really amazed at how he made it, to get shape on the 9. Shape for that shot from the 7 to the 8, with that much confidence shows how great of a player he is too. That was amazing.

[@TheCaramrod24]

Sorry I'm a young pool player, can anyone explain why this shot was so difficult? Seems like a low ball with a touch of right does it.

[@5153flash]

@@TheCaramrod24 I agree with you,that shot was not all that difficult.

[@christopherwelsh7008]

@@TheCaramrod24 If the 8 ball is not frozen to the rail, you would be correct; hit the cueball around 5:00. The difficulty using that same hit on the cueball increases enormously when the 8 is touching the rail. if the cueball hits the 8 even slightly before the rail, the 8 will go into the rail and come off, missing the pocket. If you hit rail and ball simultaneously, the spin the right spin will throw the 8 off the rail, possibly enough to wobble out of the pocket. If you hit the rail before the 8, then the cue loses a lot of momentum as it "skids the rail", and the 8 may not even make it to the pocket. The margin for error is minute using any outside spin. I think Justin Bryson needs to take a closer look, although what he said about low inside spin would be an option. It looks like the player uses straight "draw" on the cue, where most of us need some "inside" spin to kick the ball down the rail. (Player preference?) Try it a few times at this angle. It is certainly not a hanger. A really great shot to with the match

[@kriskringle6173]

I never noticed James untill one weekend I come in. And James is getting ready to play Gary Abood. And right beside me was Gary's butt buddy Clint Freeman. ( I dont like either one of em) So I wind up taking James in a race to 7 on a bar table spotting Gary 3 games. So James had to win by 3. I didnt have to sweat it cause James won 7-2. And listen man..Gary Abood is not anywhere near the best player in the world. I actually think I can beat him but he is a pro level player. Or a very strong Amateur pro caliber. Especially on a bar box. There are guys that are 9ft table players. And then there are bar box players. Guys like Corey deuel. Robb Saez Shane Mcminn These guys are all bar box specialists Where as guys like Dennis Orcollo is a 9ft table player. Dennis dont play as well to me on a small table. Anyway..Gary is a bar box guy. So to run him over like that was pretty impressive to me. I dont think Gary plays as good as Shane or Robb Saez. And Corey plays better than any of em by a margin. Imo. But I grew up watching Gary Abood. Hes about 10 yrs older than me and for many years he was the best player I ever knew. But.. then I grew up. Like I said I think I can beat him now. Not that hes a joke but I dont think he plays as good now as he did 20 years ago. He got married had a kid..his game went to shit. He cant play a radio compared to then. Me? I did not get married. I do not have kids. And my Game is on God mode right about now. I just need some money. Anyway I started watching James since that day. I like James hes a monster. Hes not the best but hes climbin. I hit some balls with him and Roberto Gomez..we had fun man. I'm not too far off. But Im no spring chicken anymore. Time is not on my side.

[@davidburton3072]

Bergman is a disgrace. Why let him play? All the stupid "pointing" and waste of time. Is that necessary?

[@trple2]

Pretty simple runout at the end. Nice shot on the 8 but straightforward.

[@justinbryson5548]

That was an amazing run out by James Aranas there at the end. I was really impressed by that cut shot on the 8 ball. I would have never thought to try to make that shot the way he did. I assume he had low inside English on that shot. Just amazing. Sorry for Bergman. He made several really bad mistakes in that match. Congrats to Aranas. That last game was awesome.
