TAR Podcast #21 with Shane Van Boening and Johnny Archer

Shane and Johnny the night before TAR 26

[@serpantseed08]

51:00 wow. one of the hardest shots in pool. long distance draw. super straight. perfection!

[@TheBilliardCorner]

Love these podcasts. So much great info. Wish there was more :(

[@CliffMax85]

Thanks for the video guys! This is excellant stuff for a green player to know.

[@camstevens9631]

Great video! Keep them coming!!

[@WiredSpace]

It's nice to hear these guys talk about Dan Louie. What Mark failed to mention is that 20 years ago Dan Louie was so sick his doctors had basically signed his death certificate. After years of dialysis and living in hospitals he's still playing jam up and looking like a 30 year old. I'd love to see Danny matched up on TAR. He deserves it and his story needs to be told. If people knew about the battles he fought they'd be absolutely inspired by his ability to still compete in his late 50s.

[@nimajnebrm]

I always watch the TAR podcasts on youtube and especially enjoy the 'hands on' parts and stories relating to other players. Super interesting stuff, thanks to Shane and Johnny and of course to the Mark/Justin. Interesting what Johnny said about Dennis too

[@babapool3619]

The table time is amazing - you should have more table time in all of your future podcasts...such a great insight into the minds of the world's best.

[@licoricesaffron]

great work, thanks justin. very heavy discussion at the table. serious. i see why you said this match has been discussed for a long time. i will watch this again and again, and take notes. i can't believe this was free. it might be worth more than the 3 races to 25

[@hassandakotakid4190]

goin in ma favorites for sure ... learned alot of stuff .. i hope that shane saw his videos cuz his break in 2007 was monstrous ...and it was sooo damn funny ... keep them coming justin ... gr8 job

[@zorantb]

awesome stuff. loved the table time - do that more often!

[@gyanrosling2226]

Holyshit, this is the holy grail of pool knowledge right here.

[@kabayanhustler]

awesome!!!!

[@Bibhor4]

Me and Johnny aim the exact same way. I don’t really have to walk, and look at the straight line even though I do it sometimes. During tough matches, I guess I do it to build confidence or because of lack of confidence.

[@ghweldon11]

Johnny Archer is really funny guy.

[@JP-ho4kr]

J Archer just looking soooo hard for tips from Shane lol

[@stevenm6200]

@Hector Brennan wait till she find out and beat your ass

[@ModestlyBland]

Shane says he never does drills but there is video of him doing drills with the Pool Doctor

[@bjtallday]

Shane Van Boeing is a killa "what are drills"

[@richardcerritelli9657]

I know this sounds kind of strange if someone can elaborate on my speculation I played a few deaf people in my life that never played pool it seems like they have improved hand-eye coordination over an average person because they were actually pretty good and they never played before I don't know if it's more like a sixth sense or what maybe someone could elaborate.

[@nono4805]

I am glad Johnny mentioned Ernesto going 11-0. Johnny only got three turns and made no balls. I cannot remember, if he had a shot, I am pretty sure he was hoked two of the trips to the table. It was more than 25 years ago. Ernesto ran the last 8 racks.

[@bjtallday]

Does anyone know what table these pros have at house? Thanks in advance.

[@tonefingerz7117]

What matters on the break is the elevation the q hits the rack

[@k.toutdoors6727]

Is it just me , but does Shan van bowning look like Toby from the office

[@alexfmeulenbeld]

I aim the same way that shane does.

[@pyrrhomania]

What did Dechaine do?

[@sammyholdem2492]

What pool hall is this

[@MrSacman88]

Oh please no increase in the 7-foot-table tournaments (00:08:00).

[@eefexdotcom]

1:00:15 damnnnnnnn...

[@pyrrhomania]

Wait, did Archer beat SVB?

[@licoricesaffron]

look at his shorts

[@me_ap3725]

The old guy doesnt let anyone talk

[@seppel310]

I didnt see the match, what kind of actions are you talking about?

[@TheActionReport]

Dechaine blew that opportunity by his actions on and off the table. Thanks for the constructive criticism though.

[@Ocean8881]

It's pretty strange how Shane at such a level can not be clear about his system nor suggesting any drills- I guess it's because he is such a natural and started so early that it became second nature for him-Also how does he expect to sell his instructional videos if he speaks so negatively about drills? Nevertheless he is still one my favorites but surely wish he can share his knowledge in a more intellectual and clearer fashion.

[@antoniolobello6628]

Ocean8881 those who can do, those who can't teach. im sure he had plenty of help with instructionl videps

[@russej02]

+Ocean8881 any player that started playing when they were 3 years is old is like that. he also comes from a family of pool champions.

[@jeffs8330]

It's like asking a basketball player how he aims for the basket or how a pitcher aims for the strike zone...it's feel. When you shoot thousands of balls a day, you don't have a system, you just naturally line it up right.

[@RichardsWorld]

When you play good you don't use some system to aim, it just comes natural. Even for bank shots you can just do it naturally. The only time a god player might use a sytem is if they need to kick at a ball.

[@xbriskx]

what did he do?

[@PhillipTieuChainz]

GOD MARK TALKS WAY TO MUCH

[@ethanletzer3507]

Is it me or does Johnny not like Shane???

[@mattwoodardtn]

Johnny messes with everybody he likes alot. He does the same thing to all top players or people he knows well. He is really a funny dude if you get him in a casual setting.

[@TheConArtist]

Did JA call Shane a gay pool player?

[@blvphn4429]

awkward sits too close lol

[@StillxxBoostin]

This thing is stupid. So what was the point of having Dechaine vs Hatch match? Dechaine should play Archer NEXT than Winner of that will play Busty in the Final.
