USBTC 8-Ball: Shane Van Boening vs Jason Klatt Final

[@Grayback1973]

These guys are both a pleasure to watch and both are extreme gentlemen.I've met both in person and they are a gift to our sport.

[@jimmydiscover3259]

Agreed, their comments about Shane's girl are unacceptable. Good match..

[@Grayback1973]

Agree 100%....

[@tyler7146]

it would be really nice if the commentators didn't feel the need to predict every fucking shot 15 seconds into the future. you aren't a genius just let us watch and limit the commentary. We aren't watching to listen to you, we are watching the pool and pool only.

[@caseysrodeo14]

Both players played really well......race to 5 is a little to short......Thanks CSI!

[@hammerlane3871]

Listening to these two argue over what they think shane is gonna do is the most entertaining part of this match 🤣

[@nenoa1090]

Shane makes it look so easy...

[@o8shooter9o58]

thats bc it is, step your game up

[@sauteedgarlic3237]

lol ^

[@mikea5205]

Neno A - Agreed. Pretty amazing to watch him navigate the table the way he does. He finds the perfect routes the cue should take. I was sure he wasn't gonna run the first rack but he did.

[@nenoa1090]

yeah... I took lessons for a pro and they adjust your stroke and I tell you... it's pretty hard to correct 20 years of bad habit... It's not even easy to stay still during the shot and not to move even a little bit... it takes focus

[@o8shooter9o58]

you felt like you could approach the game in a nonchalant way and it backfired on you, for 20 years. you made it difficult on yourself and it's not anyone's fault but your own

[@geoff1827]

28:52 it does take a weird roll on the spot

[@onnyt60]

Yup and it happened a little earlier in the game for Shane too. Thats the reason I don't use a spot patch on my tables.

[@kennysharp9230]

It did push the ball up off of the path it was traveling, but I still don't think he hit it hard enough to get past the 3-ball.

[@joedias6325]

I think race to 5 was way too short

[@owenmonast9582]

Joe Dias it should have been race to 7 at least

[@kyleguo2363]

Commentators cursing.... love it

Commentator farts at 42:35

[@pepperwestwood]

Maybe it was Shane’s honey

[@caseymccoy2692]

I've watched this match several times. Shane's patterns are always so simplified. I can tell pretty much what he's shooting next.....

[@tweekend]

Shane does have the advantage of turning off his hearing aid and not have to listen to the awful music. "Genie In A Bottle" is not something I would want to hear when I'm playing.

[@pepperwestwood]

What a good point. I’d rather hear something a little more rugged like Lollipop 🍭

[@MrSacman88]

I wish pool halls would A) Limit the volume in pool halls so that it doesn't distract your thinking - especially for us musical types and 2) Ban all rap crap. Having to listen to some idiot- monotone rap with a drum track is the epitomy of reverse-evolution (it's not music - there's no harmony) and 3) Require a bit more upscale attire - not formal but not a t-shirt and sloppy sneakers.

[@josephnewcomb5670]

Would love to see 8-ball tournaments use the take what you make rule off the break...that would make it tougher to run out & make it more interesting

[@korey6729]

Creepy commentators; why are you discussing Shane's girlfriend around the twenty minute mark?

[@suewoo5]

She was a kid and shane is a certified creep for that

[@owenmonast9582]

I need someone to help me find out what aiming system I use. What I do is line the edge of the cue ball into the object ball and i imaging the balls together on that line almost like I'm using ghost ball but I'm not. Can someone help me out here?

[@NineballChris]

Owen Monast It sounds like you are using the Monast System. Sounds like a great aiming system :)

[@owenmonast9582]

Chris Bird well that's surprising. Did I just invent a new aiming system or what?

[@lrod8276]

Owen Monast don't change that aiming system I sounds like it works wonders

[@SuperGouache]

hahahahahahahahahahhahaha

[@EmilioandFamAntics]

Cool

[@MyCalculatedRandomness]

Did I hear that correctly, Shane dating a kid 17 "Whispered in the background 20.2" ?

[@tedschulze3503]

Has any one tried the laser stroke training aid? And did it help your game?

[@emsnewssupkis6453]

Shane is still often on top of the world, years later.

[@easya3335]

Dude always has those hipster hoodies on

[@karl69179]

god dam they need a shot clock for that fn tournament

[@The_JV]

This is the fastest I've ever seen Klatt play...lol

[@Grayback1973]

Dumb comment....shows your ignorance of bar table 8-ball.One of the most difficult pocket games there is.The strategy and thinking out the patterns takes longer than more obvious games like 9-ball.

[@beefonweckeastside3323]

Not a dumb comment at all makes perfect sense if you can't figure what you're going to do in a minute on your next shot get off the pool table and wait the tables. This is worse than watching pagulayan play

[@beefonweckeastside3323]

You are absolutely right give them a minute if you can't figure out what to do in a minute go wait on tables

[@MrSacman88]

@@Grayback1973 Agree! I much more enjoy watching them strategize what to do with clusters and hooks than as in 9-ball go in sequence.

[@lrod8276]

The one commentator breathing heavily is tripping me out hahaha

[@tonydinh8602]

Nothing new Shane winning and bad commentary.

[@noxitdimension8054]

hahaha I laughed so hard at this comment

[@brunocouto9158]

[@OmarGarcia-xt1df]

Great commentary
