The knowledge of earl is immense....there's a story of earl playing Mike siegel when siegel was rated world number 1,earl was 18 years old...Billy incardona backed siegel and a big weed dealer backed earl...played for 3 days and broke even...Billy says earl was shirtless and shoeless talking smack....greatest story ever would've loved to be in that barn...they played under a barn in the middle of nowhere
Great shooting by Jasmin! Also, definitely enjoyed Earl's commentary. He's one of the greatest for a reason and I love his tips on English and position play
Amazing hearing Earl commentating he gives his points on how to make shots and also he talks about how he makes mistakes as well you can really relate to him he definitely makes a good commentator
LOVE HEARING EARL TALK ABOUT POSITION AND SPINS! Please do a straight pool match or two! I have never really given it much of a try but I would love some insight on it.
Seriously, Earl, been following u since de 90ies and dont worry... ye still de man. When it comes to proven, consistent Legends there are two only... ye & Reyes ! Thanks for de inspiration ye provided over all those years !!! And ye commentary is second to none. Ye explain how and why. That is what it is all about. Keep rollin'.
Earl, you are awesome. I'll watch anyone play when you are calling it. I love your playing personality, it reminds me of me. People think I'm an ass until they know me not playing. I'm an extremely good amateur and if I had my choice of anyone to teach me, it would be you. Thank you for all that you do.
Heck yeah ...... thank you Earl .... always enjoy your commentary ...... yup ...... very good observation concerning break at beginning.... cloth and type of balls and especially cue ball plays huuuuge part in break ......
Earl is really great at commentating these games. Also, I agree that it is better to follow with the cue ball, but I am older than Earl so we went to the same pool school.
Es admirable estas jugadoras, y los jugadores que he visto. La gran ética moral que muestran. Soy aficionado de tres bandas. Pero este pool es admirable, envidiable. Pero los jugadores muestran una ética y compañerismo deportivo que pocos ven.
if i learned anything from listening to earl its that its always really dry and all ball will never fall on his table but on this bar table where its dry its so easy
Hey Earl hope you get this!. why is it you are so humble and totally different when you do this commentary. compared to when you are actually playing haha.
@@samuelvicente511 Ok I googled better and this is for this tournament, thanks. Rules from 2017: 1.17 Three point rule (only for 9‐Ball) In order to avoid that players are using the so‐called “soft‐breaks” that would allow increased control over breaks and allow advantages beyond what was foreseen when the 9‐Ball discipline was Version 01.01.2017 Page9 Euro Tour Regulations 2017 introduced, the EPBF has decided to introduce special break rules. The following rules are to be seen as an addition to the WPA 9‐Ball rules that otherwise are valid in all EPBF events: Additional demands for a satisfactory break: At least three (3) object balls must either be pocketed or touch (see special notes below) the head string as a result of a break in order for it to be satisfactory. Any combination of the above (i.e. 1 object ball pocketed and 2 object balls touching the head string, or 2 object balls pocketed and 1 object ball touching the head string) is also satisfactory. Failure to meet additional conditions: If a player fails to fulfil the additional demands, but is otherwise performing a legal break, the break is considered non‐satisfactory and the following rules are to be followed: 1. If the 9‐ball has been pocketed it shall be re‐spotted before play is continued. 2. The opponent may choose either to accept the table as it is, or hand it back to the player that performed the break. 3.

If an object ball crosses the head string and returns into a pocket, it is only counted as 1 ball achieving the required rule, not 2.
Earl, while you're criticizing the camera angles can you please get on the editor as well. All of them seem to take great delight in switching cameras right before the shot. Some of us are trying to follow both balls.
I don't get it either, people say "3 point rule" but that means nothing to me. Some websites say you have to pocket a ball, others say you have to drive 3 or 4 balls to the rail, other websites have completely mixed rules lol, very confusing
@@billiardnetwork Clearly no one knows what the 3 points rule is dude, explain it to us!! No one knows the rule... as far as we are concerned, you hit the 1 and pocket a ball and carry on. This game has everyone confused as to the rules of a break
Can someone please explain to me the rules of the break in 9 ball? I have been playing this game for a while now and every time i watch a match on TH-cam, the rule for breaking seems to be different. One website says: "The breaker must strike the 1-ball first and either pocket a ball OR drive at least FOUR numbered balls to the rail." Earl says : "THREE object balls must go past the headstring" Ouschan made the 1 ball on the break so why was it an illegal break? I genuinely don't understand why the breaking rules are so complicated 😆surely if you hit the 1 first and make a ball it's a legal break, only if you don't make a ball on the break do the other rules come into play... I don't get it lol
Anyone that doesn't learn from earl's commentary, is an idiot. He's a no nonsense legend when it comes to how to play the game. If i could have Earl in a Bluetooth ear piece during my matches, I'd never lose.
I actualy knowno a man named Tommy Sanders from Beaumont Texas that beat Earl in a money game Tommys got the best stroke i ever seen on a human and he can play for hours and not miss a ball hes in the wholesale car business and he's not a full-time pool player but when he shows up people know it
I would guess it was playing too slow, so he used armorall to make it play faster. but you never know with Earl, he could have just made that up. And most likely he did, and he was joking. Then again, he is crazy, and he might have actually done it.
If I'm not mistaken Thorsten said once that he plays (or at least used to play) with one long sleeve to keep the left arm warm, it moves less than the shooting hand, therefore, it needs more heat; also all black sleeve may be less distracting than brighter skin
@@billiardnetwork No disrespect,but I’ve seen less missed balls and player errors at a local B-C tournament. Even the great Earl Strickland is baffled most of the time.
earl said ppl tend to like faster player, that's definitely true. Pag is a wonderful guy, very creative and unique thinking player, but I'm not into his game that much cuz he plays a little too slow in my opinion, I had to fast forward his shot every time.
I'm with you on that. And, Pagulayan (it's him you're talking about, right?) is far from the only one like that. More and more players seem to be doing it, these days. Playing both quickly and well is equated to playing by 'natural talent'. And, for some reason, 'natural talent' is like a curse word in billiards.
I love how Earl explains the English that the players use. This definitely helps us amateurs learn the correct way.
Earls commentaries are the BEST out there for avid players like myself. Cannot get enough. Thank you

Amazing hearing Earl commentating he gives his points on how to make shots and also he talks about how he makes mistakes as well you can really relate to him he definitely makes a good commentator
Agreed. He's not the most interesting or entertaining commentator, but I always learn a ton about how to play better when I listen to his commentary.
Earl is giving great observations and lessons in his commentary. Well done.
Having one of the greatest to play the game analyze and narrate a match is absolutely pure billiards GOLD!
Been watching Earl Strickland for 30 yrs, amazing person.
😂😂😂😂
Thank you Margareta and Jasmin,good set.
We love ya, Earl! It doesn’t matter if you call a shot wrong - we enjoy hearing the options you think up!
He doesn't call shots wrong, the player took the wrong shot
Earl's gonna make us all shoot straight pool - the way he went on about it 🤣
Not gonna happen, I only play 8 ball and 10 ball.
Diamond tables have killed 14.1 permanently.

I'm confused. Why on the very first break was it stated she fouled? She made a ball, so isn't that the only things that matters in that scenario?
I'm just as confused too, i've watched many a game of 9 ball and this one has me googling all the rules and nothing is straight forward lol
@@WhatsInAName718dude, never trust women
Great match and commentary
Why was the first break illegal?
Very informative commentary. ❤️

Loving it
It would be great if you could note the event and year. Could be presented under the score. Otherwise great!
Earl for the ears, Jasmin for the eyes. A great combo!
Ok guys, I don't know very much about this game, so please forgive this silly question. What was wrong with the very first break that made it a foul?
someone explain to me why it is missing when it opens in the first raund???
Great playing Jasmin. Congratulations
Kind regards from the city of Santa Monica, CA, USA! ¡Let’s go Jasmim!
Why was the first break a foul?
Yes! More Earl.
Thanks Earl
i love Earl's insights. Anyone know if he plays much straight pool?
Wow You're A very good commentator idol Earl
Newbie here, I have a question: Why during the first break the lady stopped playing? The 1 went into the side pocket.
For the break to be valid you need to bring 3 balls above to break line

What does he mean when he said he had to armorall his pool table in order to run 100 balls?
I would guess it was playing too slow, so he used armorall to make it play faster. but you never know with Earl, he could have just made that up. And most likely he did, and he was joking. Then again, he is crazy, and he might have actually done it.
Does Jasmin wear the long sleeve on her left arm for style or is it for left arm problems?

On the very first rack, why did Jasmin foul the break? She made the one ball on the break.
same question. I noticed it too. Did she not get enough balls past side pocket. Not sure about their rules.
Don't know why all think Reyes is so good. Earl says he is just lucky and Earl always knows best.
Earl also said that reyes is better than him...
Tyler is such a lucky dude

Am I missing something here. Ouschan breaks the first rack and pockets the 1 and then Fefilova shoots ..............
Illegal break, three points rule in place
