Please let us know your favorite shot of this match and if selected we’ll discuss it in our weekly podcast with Earl starting end of September!
Earl is teaching as he commentates. That is truly awesome! Thanks Earl!! And thank you billiard network for bringing us these great matches!
Our pleasure!
What I love about Earl’s commentary is, he sounds like he is very much enjoying this. It sounds very natural and comfortable. And he’s simply a genius. And I also like how he always brings up “Efren” would have done this or done that. That’s respect. ✌️
thanks for watching!
@@billiardnetwork Keep bringing Earl to the mic! Normally I mute the audio but can't miss one word from Earl!
He should be working for ESPN
Ennit i always thought he was a dick the way he acted playin but in his commentary hes very endearing and pleasant
Earl took a while to learn it, but today he’ll happily tell you that Efren is the greatest cue sport player in history.
Earl is one of the best pure shooters who ever played the game and probably a top 3 nine ball player in history. But Efren changed the way multiple games are played. 🐐
I just love Earl doing his thing only as a commentator. This guy rocks. I hope he never stops.
Earl's commentary alone is GREAT for pool. Hope he's paid well, he deserves it
EARL IS TAKING OVER THE COMMENTARY WORLD OF POOL!!! His breakdown of the games are from his experience on the pool table. You can tell that he learned from watching the great players that he crossed paths with and absorbed everything. PLEASE KEEP HIM IN THE COMMENTARY BOOTH AS LONG AS YOU CAN!!!! THANKS BILLIARD NETWORK!!!!
We will do our very best! Thanks for watching and your input.
The game doesn't even matter, I'm here for Earl's commentary! Love that guy!
thanks for watching!
A real treat to have Earl commentating with all his knowledge,wisdom and experience.
His commentating skills will only get better too as he gets into his stride.
Thankyou Billiard Network.
Earl is an amazing commentator. I don't think he even knows how good he is! He gives more pool insight into almost every shot than I hear from most commentators in an entire broadcast. 90% of the time I just mute the sound. Thank God I didn't with Earl. Absolutely amazing and refreshing.
thanks for watching!
Imagine how much shorter the learning curve is with a knowledgeable player like Earl , explaining the Theory on every shot. Invaluable !
Never thought I would say that but .. We want to hear Earl talking (commenting) more!
Well, he's talking about himself more than about the players, but it is amusing, have to give him that.
thanks for watching!
I agree with you Daniel the other commentor he is annoying
Just learned something from the pearl, bend both knees for a hard follow shot. Love watching and listening to Earl, awesome player!
Earl, after you retire, please be a full time commentator. I want to hear you at the Mosconi Cup!
They were supposed to be already getting him for mosconi but this fake ass virus has messed it up for now
Yes would love to see Earl Strickland do commentary for the Mosconi Cup
thanks for watching!
The Mosconi Cup set up in the booth wouldn't work for Earl..he HAS to be a solo act!..they won't let him go like this, sharing the commentary... oh well..their loss!
@@davidmills7456 Maybe they could figure out a way to make it work
Earl is the best announcer in pool! I wish they'd pay Earl to announce every pool match! His commentary is fantastic and I learn a ton listening to his advice on pattern and safety play.
thanks for watching!
Boy, unlike some other commentators, Earl knows who watches pool and why they watch. Amateurs and league players who want to play better and realize it's to their benefit to watch how some of the best in the world play. Earl's insight only add to the experience. Way to go Earl!
That's why he's on Billiard Network. Plenty more commentary coming from Earl!
The most amazing commentary I've ever listened too!!! This is the magic of Earl the Pearl!!!
Seems to be a commonly held opinion...
31:25 "I'm different alright, that's for sure." LMAO 😂😂 Earl is by far my favorite commentator!!!!
thanks for watching!
@@billiardnetwork Earl's commentary is awesome. Thank you for having him do them.
Amazing. Earl sounds like three people; shot commentator, color commentator and comic relief. Who does that? A natural conversation all by himself. I’m blown away. :-)
It's great that Earl sees the humour in some of the crazy situations that pool sometimes throws up!
He truly is having a three way conversation. Reminds me of Cosell, Meredith and Gifford without the patty fights. Earl knows why people watch pool. I hope the old style, where people told rambling stories and lost track of the match, never comes back. Thank you Earl.
It's almost like Earl is 10 seconds ahead of the players. What a magician. EARL 2020!
Probably 20 seconds!
Earl is addicted to pool. He's lovin' every minute of it. Great commentery Earl! You are awesome! 😁
He'll really appreciate that one!
Earl: "Just put a speed gun on the table, and if you dont reach 18mph its ball in hand." 🤣
Gotta love Earl!
@@_the_concestor_8185 I totally agree!
It's been tested in the past so who knows if it will ever come back?
I think it was a number of issues. It was mainly used outside of play to test players' break speed. One of the issues was incorporating it into the official rules in WPA sanctioned events.
I'm a simple man. I see pool video w/ Earl commentary and I watch + like.
thanks for watching!
Amazing commentary. Earl also started to use the term "recreational players" instead of "amateurs" loll nice
thanks for watching!
I caught that! Beginning of the match he started with to use recreational lol I personally love amateurs but whatevet
@@pjtyra2106 " I personally love amateurs" same same
I like him telling us amateurs what we ought to be doing
He used both terms ... he actually said armatures first :/
Love Earl’s commentaries. I enjoy his little tips for us amateurs... like how a dry vs wet table plays... last commentary he said to always put a little bit of spin on your shots, even your last shot. Best thing is he’s still new to commentating and will get better
thanks for watching!
When I was beginning to play I had many experts advise not to use english. Took me a few years before I understood how bad that advice was. Now I tell young players to pay attention to their tip placement because every shot has spin. Trick is to use it every single time, focus and pay attention, use it to improve your accuracy.
Earl doing commentary on pool matches is entertainment gold! I especially enjoy the tips he throws in between, “for you amateurs” or “recreational players” pay attention!
Look and learn, Joe! Thanks for watching.
Wow, Mr. Strickland is a great commentator and pundit. The man definitely knows the sport.
thanks for watching!
Best commentary of a pool match I've ever heard. The Pearl!
I love Earl's love of the great sport of pool. I learn so much listening to thoughts of how to play each shot. I wish he would commentate on more matches, new and old. Thanks Earl and Billiard Network for these videos!
Don't worry J H, Earl will be giving his insightful input to plenty more matches for BN.
I was lucky enough to take a few lessons from Earl when he lived in NYC. This really is Earl you get to meet in person. He just loves pool and loves helping people simply get better. It's nice to think more people are getting to hear Earl "off the table". Really enjoying these! (and yes, Earl is a great golfer too!)
Please more Earl Strickland commentating. Besides Jeremy Jones who is the best, you learn so much from Earl and I’m enjoying his humbleness as well an honesty.
He’s got a future in this if he wants.
It's definitely a great direction for Earl,and yes, there will be more to come!
Earl is a great play by play. It is great for pool. As a instructor for 13 years it is hard to teach it finer points that makes professional players play at that next level. You can learn a lot by listening to Earl.
Earl and Efren revolutionized 9 ball. Earl is doing the same with pool commentary. In my dreams, Efren and Earl work together in the booth someday. Not sure Efren's english is good enough for that...but how much fun would that be!! The legends!!!
thanks for watching!
Yes, but then we'd all complain that they showed a pool match instead of the booth guys!! Haha, that'd be spectacular to hear, I SO agree!
I love hearing Strickland talking through the shot, all commentators should do this. Keep it coming.
We certainly will do! Thanks for watching.
Thank you Earl and Billiard Network Earl you can give the 7 to all the other commentators
thanks for watching!
i will like and comment to support every single one of these Earl commentary videos
thanks for watching!
We love Earl! He know what's going on, thanks to his experience.
thanks for watching!
why does it feel very satisfying hearing earl being commentator
Because Earl is an all around good guy!
He's extremely knowledgable. I've never seen another commentator predict the shot choice so often!
He lives and will die playing pool!
He's got that voice and knows any table inside out!
Because you know you're not wasting your time listening to someone else wasting their time not paying attention to the game. Everyone who listens also learns. Earl is an encyclopedia. These videos are time well spent for any player.
Loving Earl on these haha. His ideas and humor are perfect.
thanks for watching!
It's so refreshing having professional commentary. I love hearing Earl's perspective. I'm amazed at how well Earl does. Great job! Keep up the great work Billiard Network
Thanks Mark!
I really like Earl's commentary. it's great insight into what the players are thinking. Great idea using his level of experience to give the viewers a better feel for the game, and some playing tips along the way. It's like a playing lesson.
Glad to be of service to you!
Never waited like this since the airing of "last dance" in netflix! give us more of this with earl in the commentary.
Good Job Billiard Network!
thanks for watching!
Amazing job Earl! You are loved! 💙💚💜
thanks for watching!
Earl, I love your commentary. You're my favorite player since I first saw you in the 80s. Your game inspires me. You are pool to me!!!!!!
thanks for watching!
@@billiardnetwork We need.to support Earls commentary and see if he will stick around and do some if he loses. I'm one of Earls biggest fans!!!!
Thanks again Billiard network and great job by Earl on commentary.
thanks for watching!
Earl’s my favourite commentator so far
thanks for watching!
Truly enjoy the insightful commentary....thanks EARL
Our pleasure. Stay tuned for more ES.
I'm a huge Earl Strickland fan for many years and I can tell you that when he's on his a game, even Reyes was in jeopardy. I understand his dislike of the soft break, but back in the day, the soft break was used by the top money players, and when I say soft break, the cue ball and one other ball were the only balls that had to touch a rail. I loved the chess mentality behind that part of the game.
thanks for watching Luis!
This is exactly the kind of commentary i need in order to watch the game, learn the game, and even play the shot in my head! Great job Earl!
Perfect! Just what we're hoping to achive!
Earl’s commentary is the best. He calls it how it is and is so informative. Like his candor. And his descriptions on what to do or what they should have done is so informative for amateurs and recreational players
Love the commentary! Its like watching a game with my buddy at the bar. My buddy, who happens to be the best 9 ball player of all time. lol. We even got some classic Earl rants in this episode. Keep em coming!
We certainly will do...
Earl has the best commentary on pool, bar none! Earl's commentary is THE reason I subscribed. His experience at high level pool gives him the best insight that other's commentary lacks.
Thanks for your comments.
Earl such a legend and so knowledgeable, pleasure to watch the match
Thanks for commenting and we hope you continue to enjoy the matches!
Earl is true ambassador of the sport. Perhaps the best.
He definitely is that! Thanks for watching.
This channel moving to the right direction, the best pool channel out there along with accu-stats, unbelievable commentating.
Thanks for your kind words, Xanh!
I am absolutely in love with this series; it makes watching other pool matches kind of boring. Earl keeps it real, keeps it straightforward, gives so much insight and experience. please keep it going.
Thanks for your kind words Eric. Stay tuned for more Earl!
I just love Earl commentating! More please!
every Tuesday!...thanks for watching!
i love that even Earl Strickland thinks "What would Efren do" at 40:30, Earl has to do commentary on him playing Efren! keep up the good work!
i like that hell i would like to listen to EFREN and EARL commentate
@@vicluevano1222 yeah me too, but Efren in english is very humble and he may not be able to talk as much as he'll do in filipino. Earl gives every detail and I think Efren would not
We'll find it if it's out there!
Hey Earl, if you're reading, this is pure gold! You might just be encouraging and educating a whole new generation of pool players and fans! Believe me, we really need this in the UK! Anything you can do to make American pool big here and see a flurry of pool halls open, apa etc.. would be a gift to humanity!
Keep em coming Earl and thanks to the Billiard Network!
Thanks for your kind words!
Once again, Earl's commentary skills shine! I can't tell you how much I enjoy these matches with Earl explaining every shot. I especially like that he just talks about the match, and doesn't try to fill air space with insignificant jabber.
thanks for watching...check out the other three episodes, and don't forget a new one is uploaded every Tuesday!
Earl is a different person in commentary booth, very decent man.
thanks for watching!
I have meet Earl and he's a great guy
He has a hard time with no longer being the best in the world after being that for so long
He's decent outside the booth also, just eccentric and sometimes a little too outward with emotion.
Keep up the good work. This is by far my favorite channel. Cheers!
thanks for watching!
This is the best commentary ever I’ve met Earl several times and in my opinion he’s a really nice dude. I’m sure somebody won’t agree and I understand lol
thanks for watching!
Billiard Network thank you
I had a two hour lesson with Easley last year and loved it. Nice guy but intense!!
Earl
Earl AND Jeremy Jones are far and away the best announcers.
Ok, I’ll take it back. Earl is the best!
Thank you for the upload! Was anticipating this since last Tuesday!
thanks for watching!
Earl Strickland's commentary is great to listen to! One of the very best!!!
thanks Thom
Earl's commentary is the best I ever heard lately instead of people talking about non-sense. As an amateur pool player myself, I can actually learn something about the how to play pool instead of others talking about gossips. We want more of him!
And you shall get more of Earl! Educational isn't it. Keep watching and thanks!
Awesome commentary. The best in the business
Again... another outstanding commentary by Earl. Thank you and Thanks again to Billiard Network. Please keep it up!
I must say I am enjoying the commentary by Earl. I just found this. Educational as well. Spot on!
That's great. There's plenty more coming from Earl so stay tuned.
One of the few if not the only videos I like before watching. Pearl the GOAT
Thank you BN!
We all need to get more people to look into going to more events once we feel safe enough to go watch live. Let's give our business a helping hand by getting our friends in awe of our amazing players, build our niche as much as we can to show our players support and bring the business more economics. These players work just as hard as NFL players and deserve the views! Have faith in their abilities and the people you show may decide they are interested!
thanks for watching!
This might be the best pool commentary I've ever heard . Thx Earl
thanks for watching!...new ep. dropping today!
Thanks again for the tips Earl. Hearing you commentate an hour long match is probably worth 8 hours of just shooting and figuring things out on my own (at least for the mental side of the game).
We have some big plans for Earl on the channel. Stay tuned!
EARL...please comment your own Game!...it will be very interessting
He already does that mate. They just don't have a loud enough mic for him. But this commentating is pure gold.
thanks for watching!
@Lee Jin Jie Daniel not during the game! after the match...why he shot the balls with this english? what goes wrong? why he is talking with crowds? what was luck? and so on--thats will be very interesting
THAT would be awesome!
There is so many small things that Earl says about every shot that are so immensely helpful. So many gems hidden in these videos.
Stay tuned for more insights!
Outstanding commentary- adds so much to the viewing experience - good job Earl - enjoyed it. Thank you
I've listened to a lot of commentators... and you will learn a little bit here and there; if you watch an hour of their commentary, you might learn 1 or 2 things. But if you want to learn every shot, every pattern, I've come to the conclusion, listening to Earl is the best way to learn. It's like every shot of every match is an instructional video when Earl commentates. He's my favorite commentator by far!
thanks for watching!
Wow! I was actually waiting for Tuesday to come up! Not disappointed at all!
thanks for watching!
Thank you Earl!
Earl does read many of the comments and is delighted with all the positive feedback. Stay tuned!
@@billiardnetwork Great! Speaking for myself, Earl has given us a lifetime of exceptional performance and drama. The point however, I want him to feel our appreciation for him. He's really a gift to the sport.
Who would have guessed that earl would be the most informative and entertaining commentator ever. Love the Efern references
That's amazing. I applied alot of his knowledge from his commentary, my game has already improved. Keep that guy commentating. I watch every video of his at least 3 times already. EARL THE GREAT, we thank u alot.
thanks for watching!...episode #4 dropping today
Earl is back 🙌
thanks for watching!
It's so nice listening to a commentator who knows what is actually going on. It is so annoying listening to most commentators trying to guess what the guy is going to do on every shot and usually are totally wrong when the player does something completely different. Of course I would still rather see earl play than be commentating any day. Earl said at one point "you have to excuse my commentary, im still new at it" might be new at it but better than any commentator in the history of pool commentators. Lol. Very true actually. What commentator have you ever heard thst gives this much information on every single shot? It's like a free pool lesson honestly.
Nice post Benji, so thanks.
This is the Earl I have never seen before. I enjoyed his commentary and I learned some things too! Great job Earl !
There's more pearls from Earl coming to BN soon!
Earl is an amazing commentator. Enjoying every minute!
Glad you're enjoying it so much!
Earl's experience as a world class competitor has given him the knowledge and foresight to be an absolute topnotch commentator.
PLEASE keep him as long as you guys can.
He's a excellent player and an fantastic commentator!!!!
Keep up the awesome work,
Mr Earl "The Pearl" Strickland!
We intend to. Thanks for watching!
I think Earl does a great job on doing the commentary . He should keep doing this after he retires or whenever .
When Earl talks about the conditions of a table and wether it’s wet or dry makes a lot of sense when you think about it. A dry table will have more friction so it’ll be easier to spin a ball or to jump, because when you jump the ball it’s spinning off the cloth as it rebounds so it can go airborne.
That's why he is here. Complete insight into every facet of the game. Stay tuned for more!
A dry table has LESS friction, that's why it's easier to spin. And the ball doesn't jump because it spins but because you bounce it hard into the table. Jumping can actually be tougher on fast cloth because it slides more easy.
Earl, your commentary is the BEST🤙
thanks for watching!
Great match. Amazing how one player seems to get Every Single Roll and no rolls for the other guy. Gentlemen, both, though; a real lesson in how to act, winning and losing. GREAT commentary by Earl. Earl's commentary is so good, if my mind wanders I'll rewind to see what I missed.
Hearing insights from the Pearl, one the greatest players of all time is an absolute gift. Props to BN for this series and to Earl.
thanks for watching!...new ep dropping today
Looking forward to Tuesdays lately. Thanks, Earl and Billiard network.
Man Miesko Fortunski kinda looks like Mike Trout
Tuesday's the day isn't it! Stay tuned.
Earl and his commentary are fantastic. Learned a lot Earl keep up the good work!
thanks for watching Robert!...check out the other 2 episodes if u haven't already and tune in every Tuesday for a new one!
Earl has always been my favorite player to watch and his commentary is genius level. I also have a 16 year old son who has been following Earl’s game for quite some time and would love to meet him. He is his favorite player also. He has done far more than any other player in the game to keep the sport alive and interesting to watch. Please make Earl a permanent commentator.
Ep. #6 of Earl Strickland Presents is up on our channel for members only until Tuesday when it will be public for everyone.
th-cam.com/video/pEXgxqkHSqc/w-d-xo.html
Keep em comin! New player here and I swear my game develops just a little more with every one of these! ❤️❤️
thanks for watching!
Thanks Earl, and Billiard Network!
Earl Strickland is maybe my favorite player of all time and hearing his commentary and here what he is thinking is absolutely amazing and i hope for more of these videos because of learning a lot about shots, position and other things like that really helps figure out certain things about my game and probably others too 😄
Glad you're benefitting from this, Toads!
Iam japanese...
He often mentions Efren. I am very deeply moved. Than anyone else touches it.
I think he has more respect for Efren than any other pool player in history.
It took a long time before pool community understands how a pool commentator should comment and the skills needed .Now we demand Earl for full Mosconi coverage.
thanks for watching!
I look forward to Tuesday's now to hear my man Earl commentating. Reminds me of the old days on ESPN when Ewa Mataya would do the commentary...she would let you know exactly how, where, why they hit it where they did and Earl is a pool enciclopedia that loves the game with a passion very few people do...Earl's commentary will bring back the old days and ESPN will start having pool matches again! I can dream...lol
I'd actually like to see more matches with Earl commentary. He and Efren are actually my 2 favorite players of all time! Shane vanboening is my favorite to watch now but he's #2 on my list...its a 1st place tie between Earl and Efren...lol
thanks for watching!
I've been wondering the last couple of years why Earl doesn't commentate. It's about time! Keep it coming Earl! Good job 😁
Thank you very much!
