I agree with the reply. If this was the only Efren match with Danny commentating you've watched, I could see why you'd think that. He doesn't hate him at all though. He's his favorite player and he always speaks highly of Efren. Danny can just be a little too straight forward sometimes. I actually like that about him. If someone shoots a bad shot, call it a bad shot. Everyone shoots bad shots sometimes. Even the great Efren Reyes.

I learned the game working at Grady Mathews pool room in SC and the game that their generation played ( and was awesome at) is no longer played.

One pocket, cada jugador tiene que colar sus bolas en la misma tronera del rincón inferior, impidiendo que el rival haga lo mismo en su tronera opuesta.

When Efren shot the 1 ball in for Shane, I believe he was trying to kick it out and pocket the ball by his hole and the bank the ball he kicked out, but the angle wasn't there just to lag it like he did, had it been a flatter angle it would have worked!

[@ronzolezzi6883]

Why didn’t he follow it in?

[@jaker1160]

Different strokes for different folks, i guess. I personally enjoy Danny’s commentary, and find Billy quite obtuse. However, listening to the two bicker and argue over every shot just takes away from the action, in my estimation.

[@eejoon1]

These commentators are definitely knowledgeable and are great players, but there's a difference between good playing and good commentating. Commentary for sports seem to fall into either near real-time play-by-plays or post-play analyses, with commentators only guessing about what will happen by exception. Pool, probably because of its slower pace, seems to do the exact opposite. My problem is that these gents can't seem to help but constantly try to predict the future with imperfect information, often devolving into a back-and-forth about whose personal preference for a specific shot is better. The announcers themselves often say that they can't tell what a certain shot looks like from where they are, so I can see why a lot of people are annoyed when the announcers start down this path. Pool culture seems to be hurting as it is (at least where I live) and even though I have access to an epic match like this, it sucks that I feel more inclined to talk about the commentators instead of the pool. Yes, I can turn off the sound and ignore the commentary if I don't like it, but the fact remains that how pool culture is presented can strongly impact its popularity. It's apparent that a lot of people were bothered by the commentary, so it seems worth addressing. Ultimately, I just want people to love the game and appreciate its beauty as much as I do. Also, every pool video ever posted has an intro that looks like it's from the 1980's. Long rant. WOOT.

[@jayt2257]

I had no problem with it. I am glad to see how elite players think. Speaking as a neophyte.

[@charickter]

Absolutely reasonable critique and I feel the same way about the characteristics of the presenting and how they might impact adoption by future would-be fans and players.

[@MSalem-gt5dy]

These commentators were annoying, repeatedly saying Efren did it wrong and brain dead. I think what he did was making the cue ball hit the corner to hit his ball to his pocket. He accidentally hit Boening’s ball, and went in.

[@mattverville9227]

First one to make 8 balls in their pocket wins. If you foul you spot a ball. If you have no balls to spot you owe one. You will see them mark their pocket usually by setting a coin next to it. Pockets are established by whoever breaks. They will break towards their hole

@@JP-tr4vg Yes. A player can shoot any ball, but a ball, cue ball included, must hit a rail or be pocketed after contact, or it’s a foul.

[@christopherwelsh7008]

These are 5 really excellent games of one pocket by two masters of the game. At 1:05:30, Efren was not trying to make both balls. He was trying to reposition the 1-ball off the point for a bank for AFTER he pocketed the 15 on the billiard. Genius Idea that didn't quite work out. I'm surprised Billy didn't figure this one out.

[@JosephNordenbrockartistraction]

Efren showed himself that he's still got it when he beat the second best pool player in the world. That look of great joy on his face after sinking the very last ball was great to see. These two men really like one another as equals in a very tough game. Thanks for posting this video

[@Krushard]

Takes a lot of mental strength to bounce back after a sloppy rack, Efren is a tough cookie.

[@jamesculp3622]

I can see how so many people think its a slow and plodding game. Yet, when you play it, you see it's a "Chess Game" on the pool table. How long can you keep it together to finesse a ball 13 revolutions to the rail after an object ball has been struck? So you think you're good? you got ball control? you got vision? you got patience to wait out your opponent? You got rent? ;)...

[@christopherwelsh7008]

You are exactly correct! The commentators both missed this- calling it a mental blunder by Efren. He tried to kick it off the low point of the pocket up along the side rail where he could bank it home if he pocketed the duck in his own hole off the billiard. It was not a mental blunder- It was an attempt at a brilliant shot that didn't quite work. Efren playing 3-D chess...Everyone else still playing checkers.

Left to his own devices Bill Incardona is a decent and enjoyable commentator. However his so-called special guest, Danny Diliberto, is a disaster who brings out the worst in him by getting him to argue. The two of them talk and shout and it makes the whole thing very disagreeable. Diliberto ought to be banned from ever commenting on another pool game again. I don't know whether he does it deliberately or just doesn't understand, but he calls everything wrong. He claims shots are going to go in that aren't, he claims that Efren can't do things that he obviously can, and so on. He may have the skill to play tournament pool but he obviously does not have the skills to commentate in a way that people want to listen to him.
