Brilliant shot and excellent technical breakdown. At "skilled" amateur levels we think a lot about using this kind of ball control to make a break out or knock in an opponent's blocking ball, but doing this for a pure leave this is really thinking outside the box. Thank you for this, but now one more reason to get back to the practice table...
Your videos are getting more polished. I like the explanations. They give a bit of knowledge yet also don't over complicate it for people that shoot often.
I appreciate it. I try to learn a new skill (i.e. editing, filming, writing, audio) every video and implement it to try and improve my content every video.
This video is so good that I decided to subscribe to World of Pool and Billiards to have access to more videos in the future. There is a great level of expertise that went into creating this video. The players and match chosen were super, and even the background music was fantastic. It is one of the best pool videos I have ever observed and studied.
What do you think was the better shot here? Earl's choice was consistent, but I feel like the bank was quite simpler. Why do you think he went for this shot? Also, If you enjoy these, liking the video and leaving a comment does a ton to help grow the channel. It would be great if you could help me reach 10,000 subs by the end of 2019. If there is a shot that you would like to me to take a look at, leave a comment with a link to the match and a timestamp for the shot. Also, a special thanks to pimaster 961 for requesting this shot.
Good video nice shooting can you find a clip that uses my shot on my video of fabricating angles and explain how its done im not great at pool by no means but its a shot thats easily makeable but hard to judge from table to table
Watched your 2 videos. th-cam.com/video/88c8xbIgEf0/w-d-xo.html if you watch this video and skip to 2:15, its exactly what you are demonstrating. I've used this shot quite a bit, but it really is hard to control from table to table. I'll try to find some places where it is useful and make a quick video on it though if you would like.
I saw Earl many years back , outside of Atlanta I-20 Mann's bar near Lithonia, he sure has gotten better and is still fun to watch ….. I think this was around 1981, so it has been awhile..
i like watching earl play for his bridge hand grip and technique. i play with the same loop grip (i like to refer it as closed grip) all the time, which i feel is more rare for most players who chose open bridge. but height of your bridge hand plays a big part so ive adopted a bit higher bridge hand from watching earl.
Great vid. Something I think you may have overlooked though is bridge length. The difference between your bridge length and his is substantial. Earl loves to spin his way in and out of otherwise tough spots. IMO one of the reasons he's able to command such power and spin on the cue ball is his bridge length. Granted they were playing on a 10 footer too.
That is the type of shot you make in the league and the rest of the team are talking about it over a beer. Everything about that shot my gut would be telling me to bank it as not wanting to come in and out the top rail. Problem with bank shots though is if you miss you look a real Turkey and looked at as a wasted shot, but I will look for shots like this in the future. Good break down enjoyed this video and great explanation defo thumbs up and sub.
Bro you make much more better vids than other channel that i've seen though you dont maje much as they do. I've seen shariva grew so much this year hope you do well as he does cause i like your style and you do better quality vids.
Earl's cue was lower at the rail, keeping it closer to parallel with table. Also note how his cue lands on the felt and gives a severe bend. Nice analysis.
@@WorldofPoolandBilliards could you break down a draw shot by Earl? its a shot playing a match against efren on his farewell tour. efren is earls partner and leaves earl on the rail in the corner pocket with the object ball basically hanging in the pocket in the opposite corner. earl jacks up and draws it dead straight the whole table.
Easy if you know you're not going to foul by just on the screw and from that on everything is automatic, when we get in to a competitive mood to play we can all do great shots on something we've never done before and i do a lot of them in real matches.That shot is a nice shot to get an opponent impressed and to quickly avoid underestimation that can be triggered by the opponent
Loved this video. Do you take video suggestions? If so, I was thinking it would be cool to see you play a pool simulator game called 8 ball pool, by miniclip. It’s the biggest pool mobile app game in the world and it would be interesting to see if you can simulate the same physics on the cue ball and other shots. Just an idea, and you’ll probably draw in a different audience too since there are 8bp yt channels for this game. Best to you
World of Pool and Billiards awesome. Let me know if you need an account to play on because it’s a bit frustrating playing on it as a beginner because the cues are so weak. Good luck!
World of Pool and Billiards sorry one more thought, if you don’t want to bother downloading and finding a decent account to play with on 8bp, you could do your own version of this (Efren vs Video Game: th-cam.com/video/2Yo6qpsaqAM/w-d-xo.html). Then you can use videos from pro 8bp players like Rafeef, Lord Bahaa, etc and try to replicate their trickshots. Just an idea. Good luck!
I know this isn’t what this video is about, but does anyone know where I can get my hands on a 5’x10’ pool table like they used in the tournament Earl’s playing at? I’ve searched the internet and could only find the rare vintage table or a snooker table
Hey, you might try posting on the /r/billiards reddit. There are a lot of knowledgeable users over there that might be able to help you out. They are the base that helped me start this channel too. They provided a ton of feedback on my videos in the beginning. www.reddit.com/r/billiards/
@@readynowforever3676 I really thought that the carbon fiber cues were just hype until I tried a couple out. They don't really hit better than a low deflection wood shaft. I would say the selling point on it for me was that it performed just as good as a high-end wooden shafts, but you don't have to worry so much about it. I can leave it in my case in a car during the summer and it wont warp. I can just get a wet paper towel and clean it off, and it flows through your hands a lot easier than a wooden shaft. I decided to get the Cuetec Synergy.
I read somewhere that Earl gave someone the advice to never bank a ball that you can cut. I think that mindset played a role in his decision on this shot. I still feel that the bank was the better shot because you can play more precise position with no risk of scratching in the corner.
@@WorldofPoolandBilliards I guess it depends on what your strengths are. I've always been able to see the banks well for some reason, especially those off the side cushions, but not quite as well as I'd like with the up-and-down banks. So, for me, banking that one is definitely the higher percentage option to pocket the ball and get position.
I gave credit in the description too. His series was what inspired me to even start this channel. Unfortunate that he isn't uploading his series anymore, or at least he hasn't for a few months now.
No doubt that Earl really came up with a monster stroke on that one. I'm not sure how much harder it would be on a 10-ft table, but it did look like the felt was a bit faster to compensate for the slightly larger table.
All I'm saying is this rack is a prime example of why Snooker is like Chess and Pool is like Checkers. After 4 positional shots on a small table with very few balls, Van Boening manages to completely fuck up a safety shot, to the point where he catches the wrong ball full in the face. These guys would be made to look like idiots on a Snooker table. Go watch some Judd Trump, he makes shots like this for fun on a much larger table with much smaller pockets.
Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand! Put you faith and trust in Jesus today! He loves you and died for your sins! Put your faith and trust in Jesus today! Repent now before it’s too late. Jesus loves you so put your faith and trust in Him today!
You're not wrong... not sure why I am pulling back so much. I tend to do that on these types of shots. I still get the action, but its not ideal form. Probably something I need to work on. Thanks... I didn't even notice that while editing.

Earl did that on a 10 footer too. Good work.
I love the way the cue ball hooks back.
Nice video! I love to watch Earl more than anyone (along with Shane and Efren) . That match was great! Great analysis!
The fact that it went hill hill says a ton about how good Earl was in his prime.
Brilliant shot and excellent technical breakdown.

Well done man, I really think your videos are getting better and better. Keep it up. The side-by-side camparison at the end was great.
I didn't get to see how close it was to the actual shot until I got to editing that part. I was really happy with how close the 2 shots were.
Your videos are getting more polished. I like the explanations. They give a bit of knowledge yet also don't over complicate it for people that shoot often.
I try to get a little bit better with every video that I make, so its nice to hear these kinds of comments taking notice.
This is a great video with explanations and illustrations.
I saw that Carlos shot against the Alex with position on the 7 ball. it was genius
Since you asked so nicely, here's your like, comment and subscription.
So kind! Thank you
Great video. Love attention to details. Keep it up!
Excellent....Your editing and narration are getting better and better. I recommend everyone subscribing to your channel. Keep up the good work.
I appreciate it. I try to learn a new skill (i.e. editing, filming, writing, audio) every video and implement it to try and improve my content every video.
Efren would bank it
The bank is a great option
Put your money with Efren. Because he is the best Banker.
And the kicking ability
peak earl is greatest all time
@@kiwikhrome i love earl, dont get me wrong.. but as earl said...efren is the better player
been waiting all week for this
Hope you enjoy it
His stroke is unbelievable!! The Pearl
Nice video. I like the concept of breaking these shots down. Well done all the best to you.
Best to you too
Excellent breakdown and very accurate recreations of shots.
XD

Nice shot ! Cool video/editing/commenting ! A+ stuff! (nice try covering up for that 9ball miss ;) )
haha, that is too funny. Nice attention to detail
Great video and you said gnarly i love it
I watched this match live, when it first streamed! My two favorite players; Earl & Shane.
these videos are great dude keep it up!!
I have chosen the next shot I want to cover. I'll probably go film sometime this week.
I saw Earl many years back , outside of Atlanta I-20 Mann's bar near Lithonia, he sure has gotten better and is still fun to watch ….. I think this was around 1981, so it has been awhile..
That must have been a treat to see him back then
I see that his gripping, bitching and complaining is still the same..... he was known as Earl the Pearl then also...
Yes it was great to have seen him, he did do a lot of talking, like he does these days.
Wow bro... you taught me somethin!
Thanks!
This shot came up the a couple days ago in a regular match and I gave the advice for them to play it. Worked like a charm.
Great video man, keep it up

Nice video, keep going with this recreating videos bro, also I will like to see a video of you against someone in 8 ball, I want to see your plays
Next time I play a match, I'll try to live stream it on here.
This channel is so amazing
Thanks

Thanks friend x
Great video also a great shot keep it up #32
Thanks!
Here is ur comment for the youtube algorithm. But in all seriousness great vid. U got urself a new sub.
Thanks

To me Earl is underrated
Nice

Definitely not the same
You said the cue ball chances direction of spin and gets top spin.
What would have happened if he got top spin from beginning ?
Geez I thought there's another video of Mr.Whosetheboss playing on a different tab
One question... how many tips of left english did Strickland put in this special shot?
As low as you can hit with about a tip of left.
I know this isn’t what this video is about, but does anyone know where I can get my hands on a 5’x10’ pool table like they used in the tournament Earl’s playing at? I’ve searched the internet and could only find the rare vintage table or a snooker table

Awesome! Thanks for the help I really appreciate it 🤘🏻
Any clue what type of felt was on that 5 x 10? That table looks like a football field.
I have no idea.
would you consider using my iCue ball as your indicator?
Pls do a vid about Efren Reyes luv ur channel
I have 2 if you go to my channel. A Jump and the z shot.
Earl has a monster stroke. A diamond table would be easier, faster than those gold crowns or cheap knock offs Crowns
no doubt
Why do you twist your wrist at the end of your stroke?
Note: earl played that day bs efren on a 10 feet table
English is side not hitting the cue ball center bottom.
Is that a Meucci cue that you are using?
yea, I have been playing with it for about 10 years. About to get a new cue here in the next week or two though.
World of Pool and Billiards Going new huh, I suppose you’ve been seduced by the carbon fiber (the way we all have, with the diamond tables) ?

On 4:42 youre moving ur cue too fast. You should practice some snooker fundamentals, it really helps

my man!

Copy from “ Your Average Pool Player “.... but it’s okay as long as u don’t actually copy the tricks already analysed there

Just remember earl did that shot earl and Shane were playing on 10 diamond tables
No doubt that Earl really came up with a monster stroke on that one. I'm not sure how much harder it would be on a 10-ft table, but it did look like the felt was a bit faster to compensate for the slightly larger table.
What skill level you?
In APA I was a 9. Here in Korea the ratings are bit tougher, but I am still a pretty strong 7.
He’s better than Rollie Williams
Your not Rollie Williams bro smh
You're '
copied this idea from the Kamui guy
Says it right in the description
Why do Americans call spin English. Why not just call it spin?
And why not just call it a snooker instead of “ a hook”?
All I'm saying is this rack is a prime example of why Snooker is like Chess and Pool is like Checkers. After 4 positional shots on a small table with very few balls, Van Boening manages to completely fuck up a safety shot, to the point where he catches the wrong ball full in the face.

There is no such thing as bottom english
you must be a lot of fun at parties.
You arent following through with your stroke, youre kinda jabbing and decelerating
