Guessing Joey won’t be rewatching this one.

[@ThiccEagle]

Loser mentality

[@drewcamm7901]

He probably can’t stop watching it Still something to be proud of

[@ScottG423]

When the commentators said “oh my! Have you ever seen such?” When he hit the wrong ball is said “why yes, yea I have” did it twice in 10 ball the last 6weeks.

[@rogerscottcathey]

Oh no, the 4/5 mix up game. Heartbreak

[@marcusambrester]

Yeah this was tough to watch, but the kid took it great. He said he had almost done that a bunch of times earlier in the match.

[@RoeShamBoe]

it is confusing and i'm surprised there isn't a standard for ball colors.

[@omg4life234]

@@RoeShamBoeThere is, but they changed the colors of the 4 and 5 balls around 4 years (correct me if I’m wrong)ago from a purple 4 ball to a pink 4 ball and the orange 5 ball to a purple 5 ball (they also changed the stripes color from white to black though it’s irrelevant here) Now, in this instance, I don’t think Joey Tate thought the purple was the 4 ball rather than the 5 ball (again I could be wrong), I think he just kinda got lost in the moment and probably forgot the 4 ball was still on that table.

[@vapour_focus]

@@omg4life234 Sometimes after the break 2-ball hangs up just on the egde of the pocket, player thinks it's pocketed and after 1-ball goes to play the 3-ball.

[@brettboaz9051]

These commentators are ruthless lol leave him alone he’s 17 years old on the verge of defeating one of the greatest in the sport. On top of that the ball colors for the 4 and the 5 practically reversed compared to normal diamond tables.

[@RoeShamBoe]

are they supposed to ignore it? when a quarterback fumbles the ball, the commentators go nuts. when an F1 driver crashes out, the commentators go nuts. do you watch any sports at all?

[@jaydebelen4956]

You did well. Being only 17 years old and able to perform on that stage in front of live cameras is a true triumph Joseph “JT” Tate. There will always be individuals who troll and attack your game and mistakes, but don't let that discourage you since you have your family, fans, and supporters who will be there for you. I admire you and your abilities. Shane Van Boening is a fantastic player; just keep being humble and you will go far. Continue to be blessed.

[@brettboaz9051]

@@RoeShamBoe no I’m not saying for them to completely ignore it but they talked about it for the next 2 racks almost entirely

[@davidmosby49]

Why oh why would anybody ever change the colors in a game that has been fine for so long. He played better than Shane period except for the nerves.he will be a great addition to the top soon

[@charlesfair1582]

Not the same at all mr. Roeshsmboe. Fumbling a ball or crashing a car is often their own fault. I don’t think it’s Joey’s fault for Matchroom changing the ball colors. Let Hearn or Fraser play in the same circumstance and they should understand the consequences of their actions. Fix it ! adios

[@mikemorgan8646]

I think blowing his new hope, when Shane scratched on the break, after his ball color mix up, was really the big error.

[@Mattiamusicofficial]

The 3rd shot of the match was a beauty

[@vapour_focus]

Joey Tate, an easy name to remember, champion material.

[@MrNathanounet]

i haven't watched a match for a while, so I am wondering, where is Joshua Filler???

[@charlesfair1582]

At 5/2 Tate, Shane breaks and the cue comes up to the template rack and rocks back from the rack and the 9ball allowing Shane probably easier cueing for his next shot. Phil(I think its Phil) is intrigued and will not drop the occurrence. Replays the break over and over. Karl’s reaction is to downplay very obvious cue ball interference saying since the template is giving everyone a tight rack we will overlook it’s shortcomings. I wonder, does everyone feel this way? I have seen this same cue ball interference now dozens of times. I do understand the frustration of racking the balls. The time it sometimes takes to get an acceptable rack of balls. But ; I feel the opposite of Karl, I don’t think it is ever fair to any player to lose due to a faulty, or lack of our ability to find a solution to racking that doesn’t throw a player to the Wolfs(so to speak). I wonder if it was Karl sitting in the chair when that same situation occurred, would he just sit there and accept the unjust roll ? I am sure I could find 1000’s of people who have watched Karl over the years who would say “Hell no” We all know Karl would stand up for himself, and raise hell . Maybe to get a Re rack, or something. He would not allow something so beyond his control to cause him to lose the game or possibly lose the match or possibly to LOSE the tournament. ( just another way of looking at it) A lot of people seem to feel like Karl says he does. I really doubt that they do, if they found themselves in that situation. What is the solution? I do not know. On the Euro Tour, they don’t seem to even use a rack. I’ve not seen it to be a problem. (?) In the past there was the Sardo Tight Rack. Always a good rack. I heard that people said it left indentation in the cloth (?) I do have an idea 💡. We put the balls, 9 ball 10 ball , 8 ball (Not one-pocket nor straight pool) in a basket hanging overhead, then the REF pulls a string and the balls randomly spill onto the table. THAT’s THE BREAK ! problem solved adios

[@bertblue9683]

A few racks later, the template hooked Shane behind a ball. So it's even. I bought my first magic rack a few months ago and will never go back. Consistent racks equals consistent breaks. I'll take the occasional template induced throw.

[@raflianihzar202]

Is it a repost? I think i already watch this one

[@EH-rx5qp]

Yep, it’s from last year

[@planetmediaskateboarding]

Tate could have one that last game. How do you not go for a 9 Ball combo that easy when you have ball in hand. And that's an easy one for me, a beginner.

[@garbygarb31]

what are you talking about

[@planetmediaskateboarding]

​@@garbygarb31at 1 hour and 20 minutes in, he could have easily hit a combo shot on the 9 to win the game

[@omg4life234]

@@planetmediaskateboardingThe 2-9 combo doesn’t seem that easy even with ball in hand; maybe it seems easier than it looks,but you have to be very precise and if you rattle the 9, there’s a big chance of leaving the 9 at the pocket and combo for your opponent to play. I think Tate should have rolled forward on the 2 for a shot at the 3 rather than drawing back and trying to get perfect shape by getting closer to the 3 ball.

[@bertblue9683]

Be curious what Joseph thinks now, if he'd play the combo or follow on the 2.

[@nathanbronstein5901]

This match was a nail bitter for sure, excited to see what happens to Joey Tate in the future

[@goblack6770]

He has a bright future (Joey Tate).

[@Red_Dead_Entertainment]

Bottom G?

[@bertblue9683]

I would love to take the jerk that decided to change the colors, out back behind the wood shed.

[@OldSlow]

imho the worst part of the ball mistake, is the commentators.

[@repoman2115]

Why, what did they say that was wrong

[@charlesfair1582]

Try changing the ball colors in the game of Snooker.A game that also uses ball colors and numbers and at a point in the game it turns into a rotation game. Must shoot the ball’s in numerical order. In world tournaments they sometimes dispense with the numbers on the balls and rely solely on shooting the balls in a color sequence. What would happen in the game of 9 ball if we dispensed with the numbers.Well, everyone in the World would be shooting the balls out of order if they played in a Matchroom Tournament. I believe that in Snooker if someone tried to change the colors, there would be a lawsuit filed for infringement of a trademark or copyright. As in pool like snooker, the colors have been used the same for hundreds of years. Our WPA should be jumping on the perpetrator of the purple five ball. Why are they not? Do you suppose Matchroom has gotten so influential,they now control the WPA? I know Matchroom has been exceptionally good for the game of pool. But the changing of the color of the five ball to the color of an existing four ball has had bad results for Players, for Commentators, and for Spectators around the world. What can be done? Must we just live with it. I know for a fact, most professional disapprove of the purple five ball but are too afraid of the power of Matchroom to be vindictive to any player who spoke up about the color change. What can be done? adios

[@bertblue9683]

I feel it's a travesty the colors have changed. All the people that are for it always tell me that it's for the TV makes it easier to see the colors. I say that's a bunch of BS cuz I watch this game everyday on TV and I still can't tell the colors apart when the glare / shadow is just right.

[@charlesfair1582]

You commentators are Nuts for dising Joey. Yes ,most of us have shot the wrong ball at times. But this is the fault of Matchroom! A nonsense change of ball color. Matchroom not Joey is the perpetrator of Joey’s error.

[@JPERryQuedgeley]

Poor chap. 4 and 5 colours can be so confusing. Timing.

This was very annoying to watch! It's like Tate did everything in his powers to ensure he loses!!! Very very annoying!

[@Truth_prevailsify]

SVB is a good player. But not one the greatest. He's a very traditional player that's why he won't be one of the greatest.

[@HyperFlash23]

Nah, you don’t watch pool. Svb is arguably the one of the greatest. Efren of course at number , Maybe even earl. But svb can indeed be argued
