I like the shotclock. I can't stand watching Kaci take an average of 3 min per shot. It's like watching grass grow. But I think they should add 10 sec to the shot clock. 40 sec would be perfect time to think in 8 ball. In rotation the lay of the table tells you how to approach the runout, in 8 ball you have to think a little about the runout pattern, a little more thinking going on.
These are pros. The tables are playing hard. Shot clock is only 30 seconds w 60 after the break and 1 extension per rack. It works. They struggled a little bit. Thank you for 8 ball I love it
I'm afraid that HE is playing around his belly. He is taking more difficult shots, to make sure his belly won't touch the balls. I hate to call him out like that, but that is what I see......
I do have a question.....the better players in my league, their breaks are as if their cues were on rails, and the cue ball never leaves the table. In both of these guy's cases, the cue is popping up in the air, the slow-mo camera revealing that the ball is jumping from contact to the rack with power being lost, obviously. These guys are pros......so what gives? P.s. Based upon watching, I am now a fan of the template "racks" instead of the traditional ones. It seems as if there are more consistently-good breaks......
If the ball isn't leaving the table, they aren't hitting their break nearly as hard as these guys. These guys are breaking at 20+MPH...the ball is always going to jump up after making contact. The better players in your league may look like they are breaking hard too, but just nowhere near 20. They have an app you can put on your phone that if you set the phone on the rail somewhat in the vicinity of the cue ball on a break shot, it will calculate the speed in MPH of your break shot based on the time from the sound of the contact of the cue ball to the sound of the contact of the rack. It's actually quite accurate. You do have to tell it the table size and place the cue ball in a specific location, I believe. Try it out if those players in your league don't mind.
I'm all for the Shot-Clocks. But, especially in 8-Ball, the players are not given enough time for smart play. We aren't seeing the players at their best. It's almost gimmicky, like tournaments for fastest number of balls pocketed. Watching it is stressful, and not in a good way. They need more time and should be given at least 3 Extensions per rack. I understand they are trying to make it more entertaining to watch, but this isn't it.
With a shot clock, I have enjoyed watching 8 ball again.
One of the better matches for sure! Good commentary too!

I would say 60 seconds after break and then 30 seconds with an extension per rack.
Agreed 💯 he’s brutal slow
I mean Kaci can still play well even with the shot clock
He uses what he gets that can’t be blamed on him
I have become such a fan of 8 ball. I just love it. So amazing watching the pros talent

It tends to favour fast players 45 secs would be still fast enough and give slower players a better shot
Nice work, FSR!
GOOD SHOW!!!
19:31 good old commentator's curse
Game 3, Ruiz poked it, didn't stroke it, which put a little size on cue. 5 minutes of master pool, one slack let up. Great pool.

Perfecto!!!!
Thanks for the match these guys rock

Wrong. This was awesome and the time shot clock is perfect.
I agree, I would put an extra 15 seconds. 45 seconds shot clock would be good
Nice shot 🎱
8 ball pool is back huh LOL 🎱
I love 8 ball pool 🎱🎱
Pool is 1 of the greatest sports of all times 🎱🎱
Nice break 🎱🎱🎱
I like breaking the balls up because the balls go everywhere LOL 🎱🎱🎱🎱
1:08:35 That's a foul, he double hits the cue ball. It was clear while the livestream, don't know how they didn't see that. Great game by FSR anyways.
Oh it's 420 where you are. Got it.
I slowed it down and it doesn't look like it, but hard to tell for sure. It comes off of the that 9 ball pretty quickly.
They must not have an extension
cool
Even this dutch guy has more of a Swedish accent than chamat
He had to put inside on that miss on the 8
it certainly wasnt time like the commentator suggested. he has 15 seconds left and only one ball lol
1:08:40 isn't that foul shot? push shot? someone please educate me 🙇♂️
It’s hard to tell but I think either he didn’t make second contact or just no one caught it
What’s all the screaming and yelling in the background? They should not host powerlifting and pool in the same building. Lol
Sorry He poked it.
This must be the championship for who take the longest to take a shot and still miss an easy shot.
Тупі менеджери трансляції. Я б на місці власників каналу звільнив би їх за 5ть хвилин. Гарного року всім. )))
Luck
It's undeniable, it's under 9-ball.
