Earl will always be a legend and given the respect as such! Goes to show that his antics are more hated by the fans and the pros will always give him his flowers for being a pioneer of the game.
Watching Earl be composed and loose was enjoyable! You can tell he’s got alot of respect for the young Fedor. There’s no history between the two so it’s cool to watch him just have fun.
Then there is me. America's never was a legend. And with a wave of his Jedi hand he states "These are not the sharpshooters you are looking for..." Click my name.
"Alternating break". Also, where at all times, the person with the break privilege has the "alternative" to pass it to the opponent, just like in football.
noooo, finally found a match with the best camera position to watch two top tier players but it’s stuttery! definitely not from my end. ah well, awesome match 👍 would watch the pearl on any device
In the 2022 Derby City Classic Bank Pool division finals, Fedor Gorst played against Jayson Shaw and emerged victorious I predicted these two would make it to the finals and because I tutored 👍🏻Fedor he won 🏆
@@daviddumoor8450 Per player. It is $12/hr alone on a weekday, but damn. But yeah... always per player. Most joints these days are. Way too expensive. I would also want to inspect the kitchen.
@@cosmicraysshotsintothelight places in NJ Also get 12 per hour one person. Castle Billiards, Clifton Pool Hall. The prices may be higher since they removed prices from websites.
It's a great room, very popular, open properly late, good deals on tables during the daytime on weekdays, super convenient location. I'm not experienced enough to speak to the quality of the tables but I doubt The Iceman would have agreed to be their house pro if at least some of them weren't very good.
15:45 To control the cue ball towards the 4 and 9 ball is dangerous. Stunning the ball and even knocking the 7 ball will still leave a decent shot unless he is unlucky and knock into the 7 full ball. 29:16 World champion? Where is the right hand check side to not knock into the 7 or maybe small maybe 8 balls?
People get pissed or feel they have to defend a particular player when I say Earl “The Pearl” Strickland will go down in history as the best 9-ball player of all time. Brunswick Table?
Cannot hear the commentators unless the volume is full blast which then makes every other sound way too loud. Also, this may be in 1080p but the amount of artifacting in the video is horrible.
LOL, annotated a B&R (37:22) for Earl when actually Fedor broke & scratched. Attention to detail announcers, you got ONE job! (Yes I am aware you corrected yourself minutes later, my point stands.)
@@thebeardedman-drenaline5546 You are right. No when. I'd like to know, also. The fact that it's only recently been on youtube probably means fairly recently, though.
@@BobbyRunout_EverydayWorld You're right. He's why I started playing !!! 4/15/23 I picked up a cue; love his fast style and shot-making. Now I'm an APA 7/9; 5 hours daily...wish it could be more !! Keep pocketing, player.
Looks like these pockets are cut a little bigger compared to what they are used to playing in tournaments. Makes it look like a breeze for these two, letting their stroke out. Awesome to watch!

Thank you for uploading this. Both players are class

Thank you Earl and Fedor... Earl made my day...
Great coverage. Thx!
Man, that looks like so much fun!
*EARL THE PEARL STRICKLAND*
*AMERICAS POOL LIVING LEGEND*
💯

it is 2025 and you can´t host a stutter free video ?
Alternative break...👍 can actually see both players game

Thank u Teresa
imma go with badminton grip wrap on my cue after this🤣
I love this setup.
Strickland loving a seventy two 72 inch cue
I love watching Earl, but that, if really 72", is ridiculous.
If there's a 25 oz weight limit, should be a length limit as well.
Earl had made unbelievable cut shots. Balls were aligned and drove object balls down the table. Game 7😊
Great player❤
@55:19 a break and run in 1 min at 60+ years is very impressive in my books !! come on Earl
Love that place!!!!
outstanding competition; no excuse for horrible video quality
I agree. WTF.
What's the pocket size? 5.25"?
Earl's club... I mean, wow. Do we even call it a cue still? It's funny, but somehow I kept expecting him to put his cyborg arm on. 😄
Bravo
They want $18 an hour to shoot pool at this joint.
Per table or per player🤔

@cosmicraysshotsintothelight 🤕 ouch! That is prohibitive. appreciate the info👍
@@daviddumoor8450 It is New York City. So presumably not that expensive a night out. Don't park on the street.

Love the 7" pockets.
i bet u the life of the party
went to steinway billiards once never visited this one

Still Corner Billiards to me.
Good times.
Cool 😎
I heard Earl also started wearing wrestling shoes so he could feel grounded better .
Never seen first miss this many shots! Nice to see a pro having a rough match! Unless he’s intentionally holding back for Earl?
Just started watching the video, but does anyone know if Fedor used his jump stick in these games or did he play without jumping.
nevermind. I see he used it in at least game 5
how exactly is ball in hand with 7 balls on the table a break and run?
Why is the racking taking so long?

No denying he's one of the best ever. Hard to say for me who's THE best but hes an all timer for sure
I thought 9 ball players were the GOATs until I started watching snooker games. 😬
Hard to say goat but for 10 to 15 years he was just about unbeatable
He is the greatest 9 ball player to have ever lived.
Him and efren are like A1 and A2 best to ever play

yeah
Wow - uploading a match between two legends and then the video quality is so bad that you can't watch it without getting angry.
26:50 arrrgh! What did you say Earl? You're contagious! After your GRUMPY comment.... now I"M feeling GRUMPY 🤨
When did this match take place?
In Keyser Soze's basement.
@scottisitoro3953 funny but that doesn't tell me WHEN😋
@@thebeardedman-drenaline5546 You are right. No when.
I'd like to know, also.
The fact that it's only recently been on youtube
probably means fairly recently, though.
it just happened 1 day ago 😋
@BilliardsHighlights the quality reminds me of the Color Of Money Match between Earl and Effren way back when 😂 thanks for clarifying when.
what's the black thing hanging at the end of the table?
That’s what is called a light above the pool table. 😂👍
Earls abs continue to look ripped after 5 mile runs
and 500 crunches daily !?!?
Give the man a break, that's the pearl
@@BobbyRunout_EverydayWorld You're right.
He's why I started playing !!!
4/15/23 I picked up a cue; love his fast style and shot-making.
Now I'm an APA 7/9; 5 hours daily...wish it could be more !!
Keep pocketing, player.
@@scottisitoro3953 No I meant he keeps the pearl in his belly :)
no score shown and very noisy background?
Score is at top left corner of screen. Both Games.
Sound Check
I thought owners name was Mike…
Fedor just letting gramps have his day he aint putting no pressure
Right thing to do....Fedor knows he doesn't have to prove anything and also shows great respect for earl a living legend
gramps has accomplished more than any player in the world show some respect
Pockets are a freaking joke
Why is the commentator always thanking his family? He's commenting on a pool game, not accepting an Oscar
Photographers should not be allowed that close to players
TURN OFF THE ROOM BS!!! I'M MORE INTERESTED IN THE FINE COMMENTARY THANKS 😢
Dopes in NYC doing bird calls? What did you guys put in their drinks?

Awesome to watch!
Like my comment if you want to see Earl the Pearl as captain at next Europen Cup (renamed it myself)
Ol earl the girl
Efren would be the battle of the ages. Earl is a putz with no class. I know APA 2s with more sportsmanship than him.
go home
great stuff except for the nonstop running jibber jabber. You ain't playing dude, SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
Clothe must be from the 80s. Soooo Slooow
too jerky
Unwatchable
