      biggest shot is clearly Cory’s last break, where no one noticed that he made the 3 ball

      Earl is soo instructive....awesome ...In the 3rd game Earl's commentary mentioned to always shoot with just a little spin..... I think Shane stunned the 8 with a little inside bottom and Earl mentioned the little bit of spin on the 9 ball ..... amateurs miss the 9 so many times because they baby the 9 and it skids a wee bit ..... get Earl to tell the amateurs to pop the 9..... play shape when shooting the 9 like you do with all other balls..... Earl ALWAYS did that real well....lol

He is one of the greatest pioneers of this sport, and his love and passion for it can be heard in his voice and seen in his shooting!

    As an amateur player it is amazing to hear Earl commentating and analyzing a great match between two giants. It makes the game much more enjoyable to watch and to understand why they choose the shots they play and how much english and spin they apply for each shot. This insightful commentating really helps amateur players to become better.
    I was never a big fan of Earl just because of his temperament, but one for sure he has one of the biggest knowledge in the history of the game, and I truly respect him for that, and he's quite funny too! Hope we will hear him commentating many more times in the future!

This is coming from being a pool junkie for 25 years, and watching tapes/dvd/livestream/RUclips all of those years of professional matches. This match is super good. Good job putting Earl on the mic.
    Edit to add I put him tied maybe with Bentivegna commentating one pocket matches for my all time favorite commentator. They both know their craft so well, and have an amazing communication style for us fans.

    please make this as frequent as possible I swear it's the greatest commentary and I know what I'm talking about as I watch a lot of pool and snooker.

    Listening to Earl is a real joy. This is not the person I've seen out on the pool floor. He's very educated and explains things very well even to those of us that don't know the game. His skill and ability come through with every remark. Unlike most of the commentators we hear these days a he's not running his mouth just to hear himself talk and he knows what he's talking about and he's accurate. When he doesn't know what a player is going to do he says so. What a brilliant change!

I believe he's the only one that had enough firepower to stay with Efren in a 9 ball match. Without consistency and discipline, you'll never approach that level of play.

    Sometimes you might wonder if it matters all the time, effort, & passion you've put into this beautiful game... I just want you to know, not only has it mattered all these years, but pool would've never been the same w/o you.
    Pool brings out true character, and even more of a test than pool, is age/time... amazing to see you keep getting better & better as a person with time. Life is the real 'ghost' we're all trying to beat.
    -God Bless.
    P.s. It's so endearing to hear the way you brag on Efren.

      @@billiardnetwork After seeing this video, I'll watch any match Earl commentates. Keep in mind that Earl, by himself, is better than any two commentators (together) I've heard. Earl just seems to knows how to keep the dialog completely pertinent, focused and insightful. I can't tell you how often I've had to mute the commentators of a pool match in order to enjoy the video, while with Earl, I'm hanging on every word. So, this may be a situation where adding an additional commentator to the mix would actually take away more than it gives. Although, Jeremy Jones is also great and would be respectful to Earl. I can see a potential for synergy there, but you may have the perfect mix already: Just Earl.

    This is what I’ve been waiting for, finally a true genius of the game commentating. Shane is almost like Earl’s son or prodigy. They think almost exactly the same so this proves the impact Earl has had on his game. I still believe Earl is the greatest 9 ball player ever, yes Efren overall in every discipline but Earl will always be the G.O.A.T. of nine ball. I hope to see more commentary from Earl, I’ll definitely be tuned in.

    I really enjoy Earl's commentary - it is still funny, you get that typical "Earl-vibe", never boring or monotonous and it's the most technical and educational commentary I have seen. So for me - being the amateur player that I am - this is really the best it can get: I can enjoy the game and develop a better understanding for it at the same time. Wish there would be more commentary like this, but most commentary is I believe focussed on, like, non-billiards-educated folks who don't actually play. But for all of the amateur players, who like to watch, this is really the best format!

    Not even three minutes into the match and you can tell the commentator is the most knowledgeable person to be on a mic - Can accurately anticipate the play, not giving four different possibilities just to cover their butt because they've no idea how a pro thinks; no unwanted banter just to fill dead air; doesn't try to make the air time about himself in some manner. Absolutely fantastic commentary and a benchmark to be noted. Thank you.

    I always thought snooker was enjoyable to watch because the commentators are so classy. Earl is definitely what pool commentary needed. Thank you Earl! Hope to play you someday at Steinway or Amsterdam. Liked, subscribed & shared.

    Thanks Earl, great to know what spin they are hitting with each shot - this is key and sometimes hard to tell.
