  • 8-BALL: Francisco “Django” Bustamante, 50, a superstar at all pocket billiard games and Earl “The Pearl” Strickland, 53, arguably the best 9-Ball player of all time met at the 2014 Make-It-Happen 8-Ball Invitational. It was the last match to determine the finalists in the round robin event.
    Bill Incardona and Danny DiLiberto worked the commentary booth.

    I’ve watched Earl shoot a lot and he always reminds me of a savant with ADHD. He shoots very quickly with almost a sense of impatience, like he thinks so quickly that his body is fighting to keep up. He doesn’t take many pre-strokes, shoots fast but always so accurate with great position, and he doesn’t seem to rethink his original approach once he’s committed. It’s both amazingly entertaining and slightly stressful to watch him work around the table.

      I like watching him for that reason. Earl Strickland has said many times he is a proponent of shooting fast because it's more entertaining to watch. He said pool can be boring and that's why it's not mainstream. He gave Ralph souquet as a boring example 😂😂. That's why another one of my favorites to watch is Joshua Filler cuz he shoots fast like Strickland

    I usually write good match, forget that crap, this was a GREAT match. I haven't had so much fun watching a match with the older Strickland in it in a long time. He would do himself a service to adopt more this attitude. They both played like gods, basically, a coupled of bobbles and some dry breaks, and some shots that were out of this world, very high level pool.
    Man, I am clueless as to why Earl picked stripes on that game ending 46:00. Even the commentators were back and forth, for me it was instantly pick solids, no comparison, even negating the problem stripe they looked better to me. And except for Earl's killer clearance shot on his LAST shot (he IS good at coming with those) before the eight ball, which could have gone bad pretty easily, he had a serious problem because of it. Like I said, I do not get it.
    People pick on Danny all the time. For my two cents I think these two are always hilarious. When they're not arguing like an old married couple, they are breaking each other up. And Danny always has at least one excellent quip.

    • @5000rgb
      @5000rgb 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I love when the commenters are ribbing each other and telling stories. Pool often doesn't need a lot of commentary and I like trying to figure out what the players will do without the announcers spoiling it for me.

    • @tonynguyen4147
      @tonynguyen4147 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I think you pick your poison at the end of the day the 3 and the 13 ball are the obvious problem balls. I would have chose stripes too if you can make 14 in the corner its not too too bad to get position on the 13 to shoot it in the same corner

    Hello Accu-stats, I gotta couple quick questions that roam my mind!
    First, the people with earphones on the crowd, are they listening to the comment by Bill and Danny?
    And second, where is Bill!? In my opinion he's the best commentator Accu-stats had, and with Danny they make such a good duo, I miss him commentating more recent games!
    Cheers from Andalusia!

    • @AccuStats
      @AccuStats  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I think having three different sets of colors is absolute bullshit. I’m an old guy that learned pool in my father’s basement and plaid local halls as a kid. DECADES. Why does a couple of companies get to decide to change the colors of the balls? Is no one in charge? What is up with that???
    Four is now pink. Purple which used to be four is now five. In the other system they seem to like pastels. On TV you can’t even tell the difference between the six and seven. What jackass came up with this and what jackasses at least for those covering this tournaments didn’t complain? This is really hard to see if one have a smaller screen as it is.
