accu stats please dont pay no attention to all these cry babies crying whinning pissing and moaning about one thing or another there are people like myself that love these videos and thank uall for all the hard work yall do pls keep them coming
Earl your a legend, Shane you are clearly America's preeminent hot player current... travel, we need live action to inspire our youth the seedie aspects of our sport has almost died off (juke joints) and just meeting top pros can influence and benefit generations to come. Thanks to both great match.
USA pool is in trouble because you have to be 21 to play. I used to have all kinds of trouble playing tournaments. I used to get kicked out at 10 even when you are in the tournament still. Europe have actual pool schools and youth player have a place to play and compete without laying low
What's juke joints have to do with it? Pool lost all the TV coverage and any sort of legitimacy because of the players side betting and rigging the matches all the time. Lots of hush hush shit goes on between the guys. Not so much with the woman
Cant remember what the commentators name is ..not Wytch the other guy..but he commentated that big match years ago between Efren and Earl in 96..ever since then i love hearing him commentate..theres something great about him not just pool wise either...
I have been being watching these pool tournaments lately. It's not the players for me , it's the good commentary that decides what tournaments I watch. The old grumpy man that whistles while he talks is a no go.
I had trouble telling which ball was which as the 3,4&5 are all bad shades of the same colour and I could not tell what shots the players were going to play, aramith have let me down here.
The announcers were fawning over Earl a little too much for my liking, especially when the opponent (Shane) deserves their admiration in his own right.
The rack that starts at 43:00... SVB chalks the cue before shooting the one and then only one more quick rub halfway through the rack and runs out. How many top players would use so little chalk while running out?
I know Earl is well respected, but he shows poor sportsmanship at times and it's hard to watch him play with that behaviour. I love SVB, Shaw, etc., they display a better behaviour during game play.
at 49:50 earl jumps a ball using a full stick and the crowd says nothing. These days jumping with a full cue is rare and very tough to do. Shane uses a jump cue earlier in the match.
I've been watching Strickland since I was a kid he's a monster moving the rock I learned alot by watching him as a teenager and now I believe I'd give him a run for his money
I remember looking at my Sensei in martial arts as an aging man, rationalizing that he probably isn't all that much of a badass. But that's pure fantasy thinking that I with my inexperience could somehow defeat someone who has practiced for 50 years plus.
Earl is wearing weights on his arm. Stabilize a sore arm? Make him stay down? It looks quite heavy and clumsy. I've seen him play with both arms trussed up and with gloves like a hockey player. It sure doesn't hurt his aim.
He has a medical condition that caused tremors in his limbs. Not to bad early on but it did get progressively worse. The weights help him control the tremors.
The difference between changing the rules in pool vs baseball is that a good offense in pool can stop the other player from getting to play at all, but in baseball, both teams are getting a chance to play equal time. In equal time, more scoring is more fun. But with pool, it can take the fun out of the game if only one person gets to play.
Strickland is a fantastic player, makes shots some of which seem impossible. BUT he is a motor mouth, like some I play with. To bad it removes the desire to want to watch him. I wonder how many games he has won due to his BS? Seems to me he should be chastised or fined!
When you can play like Strickland, then I will be interested in hearing your criticisms of how he comports himself at the table. But, I'm not holding my breath, because there are only a few players in the entire world who are actually in his class.
Well Doug I believe one thing left out of most sports over the last 3 decades is sportsmanship, Earl is as good as anyone playing, no one said he wasn’t a great player, but when your disruptive by jawing constantly, and this is my personal opinion, someone should standup and say shut-up!
@@wylieyates6174 I agree, sportsmanship in today's competitive sports is somewhat lacking, as are so many other personal attributes in today's society. People just don't show the respect to their elders, to women, even for themselves, and just in general, not like they did when I was growing up in the 50's. But, I think if you would ask most of those who compete against Strickland, that you would likely find that he is a generally pretty likeable, affable person, and doesn't do his so-called 'antics' in an effort to distract, or even much less to try to shark, his opponents. He is a very competitive person, who is maybe a little too high strung, but that doesn't make him a bad person, nor does it require him to be sanctioned in any way. In fact, that drive and those personality traits are part of what has lead to his exemplary status as one of the most talented and accomplished players in the game. You don't have to like him, in order to appreciate his abilities. And frankly, I doubt that he really cares if you do, or not. Before Efren came along he was the most dominant player in the game. He's a hall of fame player, and rightfully so. And, if he was to be removed from the scene, it would be pool's loss. Deal with it.
Athletes? Hahahahahahaha!!!! An athlete is a person who competes in one or more sports that involve physical strength, speed, or endurance. Athletes may be professionals or amateurs.
Awww, US pride is strong here but sadly, there's no single spectator in sight! Never mind, I'm rooting for my idol, the current US champion Shane Van Boening! 😎
I don't mind watching a good game of pool or watching Earl Strickland shoot a good game. What is bad is listening to Earl's big mouth. He will ruin a good game by not keeping his mouth shut.
My pick for top three players in order are as follows the GOAT Efren Reyes… Earl Strickland and Corey Duell.. all three of these people in their prime destroys van boning.
Doug, I agree fully that he is one of the best players alive, and I never intended to say he was a bad or raunchy person. I’ve seen him interviewed and comes across as a genuine person. But at the table and when sitting it’s non-stop comments, which I feel is distracting to his opponents. It also could be that my past sports experience denotes quiet when someone is playing. A small show of respect.
He does that to psych the opponents but all Shane has to do is turn his hearing aids off. It's all part of the game if your playing at this caliber I promise you will know the game of all the top 50 players. Earls got his banter, Shaw has his show boat hard hitting and acting like it's the match when only a game. Efren Reyes smiling scratching his head on mistakes like he met too. It's all part of the game and dogging on one and not all is truly a show of inexperienced lack of knowledge.
I finally want to stick-up for Earl when Shane was shooting at the six. When he missed it, he then has to stand at the table and see how he left Earl. When you miss, walk away, it's Earl's table. This is at 1:27:18
Watching these masters shoot along with the accompanying commentary is GOLD. It's a college course on the game of 9-ball. Thanks Pat!
Thank you Accu-Stats and Pat Fleming!
You are welcome!
accu stats please dont pay no attention to all these cry babies crying whinning pissing and moaning about one thing or another there are people like myself that love these videos and thank uall for all the hard work yall do pls keep them coming
Keep coming, they will. Thank you!
to Jim and Mark, great broadcasting. MLB changed the mound from 15 inches to 10 inches, and shrunk the strike zone between the knee and armpit in 1968
Two legends of the game. Thanks accu stats, Great match,
Glad you enjoyed it
I prefer these rules because I like seeing the more tactical games, good job and thanks for sharing the match
i really like the posture of these two.
And love Jim Wych
Great match just to bad we all couldn’t watch a premier every evening. Thanks Pat Great job with Accu-Stats 👍🏻
Much appreciated
Two legends of the game. Thanks for the upload!
game was insane especially the safety play at the end
the 2 greatest players and the 2 greatest commentators. thank you!
My two favorite players. Both winners in my book.
Thank u Accu-Stats and Pat Fleming!
You're welcome.
Two of my favorite commentators , thank you guys

@@mattverville9227 Europe is not a country. And my part of Europe does not have that shit at all.
Great match! Either could have won. And both are winners for sure!
Thanks so much for the uploads, these videos are gems
Glad you like them!
@@AccuStats Can I ask who were the commentators?
Jim Wych and Mark Wilson
Cant remember what the commentators name is ..not Wytch the other guy..but he commentated that big match years ago between Efren and Earl in 96..ever since then i love hearing him commentate..theres something great about him not just pool wise either...
That's Mark Wilson.
Thanks...hes got a fan in delaware👍
Thanks accu stats . These are helping my game tons 🙏
I have been being watching these pool tournaments lately. It's not the players for me , it's the good commentary that decides what tournaments I watch. The old grumpy man that whistles while he talks is a no go.
I'm drawn to Earl because of his propane and propane accessories xD
Best comment ever!!
Narrah urethra.
Earls the only player ive seen get mad after he makes a great shot😂
Charcoal rules! Lol
@@janetairlines1351 we all know deep inside he is happy lol he just acted like a elitist,but he really is a superb player
Great commintary very nice to have such a good pair.
We agree!
EXCELLENT -- Earl STRICKLAND vs. Shane VAN BOENING -- BOTH WINNERS
I had trouble telling which ball was which as the 3,4&5 are all bad shades of the same colour and I could not tell what shots the players were going to play, aramith have let me down here.
You might have some kind of color blindness
What you amateurs need to learn is
Just kidding but no im not really
And "weekend players"
Lol, Love Earl the Legend Pearl.
The announcers were fawning over Earl a little too much for my liking, especially when the opponent (Shane) deserves their admiration in his own right.
The play by play announcer does a very good job calling this match
Earl is one of my favorite players. He just needs to focus on his game and avoid getting distracted.
Two legends of the game 😊
I miss Efren playing and the announcers can't ever call what the cue ball is gonna do. His force follow inside English is something else.
The rack that starts at 43:00... SVB chalks the cue before shooting the one and then only one more quick rub halfway through the rack and runs out. How many top players would use so little chalk while running out?
Depends on the chalk type.
I think it's because the shots he was making were softer shots that did not require much English
they may have 5 each but earl "the pearl"....is without question the 2nd best pool player ever...of his time
“His time” dudes needs a lesson on being humble. And being a good role model for future champions. And advocate the game better. Which he does not
earl the "girl"
Earl's breaks was his downfall. Would've won hands down if had made breaks.
can anyone explain to me why the shotclock got reset to 40 just after 12:39?
Strickland called for an extension. One time extension allowed each rack.
@@AccuStats thanks
21:05 Earl is like, "why play safe? I'll just win from here."
YUP
I would love to play at least one US Open in my life.
why dont u
Then sign up and play. You don't have to get invited.
I plan to, I just haven't set aside the time to practice leading up to it and the time there.
I know Earl is well respected, but he shows poor sportsmanship at times and it's hard to watch him play with that behaviour. I love SVB, Shaw, etc., they display a better behaviour during game play.
how come he played the cue ball with top spin instead of a draw shot at 20:23
dude draw wouldve take that cue ball directly to the corner pocket
Good stuff all around.
at 49:50 earl jumps a ball using a full stick and the crowd says nothing. These days jumping with a full cue is rare and very tough to do. Shane uses a jump cue earlier in the match.
13 minutes into the match earl used his break cue to jump at the 1 ball
Who was the guy in the green shirt that said something to Shane before he broke and does anyone know what he said to him
Looked like Jay Helfert
I'm also curious. Inquiring minds want to know!
It was Jay Helfert.
Great pool!
Earl really deserved this win, he did some hard shots in the early games 🎉
Can't catch the joke at 50:20, anybody knows what he's saying?
how much is the pay out???????????????
thanks how many day is the turnament???????
Can we get a standard color layout for the balls
Can anybody tell me what earls got goin on with his forearm? What are those? Heat pads?
Weights...
They are both very good in their own game, whatever it might be
The announcers said it's the 9 ball on the spot but they were racking with the one on the spot. Which was it for this tournament?
1 goes on the spot in every single pro tournament that I'm aware of.
They are 100% racking the 9 on the spot in this entire video.
@@mattverville9227 no it does not
@@mattverville9227 DCC is 9 on the spot...
1 ball is on the spot but the spot looks forward from the center diamond.
Looking at each of them rack, it seems the one ball is not on the foot spot. Maybe the camera angles are deceptive, but it sure looks odd.
Buddy Hall always talked good about the pearl
BECAUSE HE KNEW HIM WELL
Thanks for this... why are the pointing/waving the cue before the break 🤔 is it to silence the crowd on top 🤔
Essentially score keeping
Can anyone tell me what are those things on Earls arm ?
Anybody know which break cue Earl Strickland is using here
I've been watching Strickland since I was a kid he's a monster moving the rock I learned alot by watching him as a teenager and now I believe I'd give him a run for his money
What are you ranked? Hall of fame yet?
Doesn't matter about a rank number or a title it's about how you play the game so thanks for noticing my comment and have a great day
You gotta believe.
nothing wrong with having confidence in yourself!!!
I remember looking at my Sensei in martial arts as an aging man, rationalizing that he probably isn't all that much of a badass. But that's pure fantasy thinking that I with my inexperience could somehow defeat someone who has practiced for 50 years plus.
Whattaya mean "I didn't see that shot" at 20:59. It's the only makeable shot he had and he saw it and every shooter saw it. And he nailed it.
What year did this tournament take place? The video premiered in 2020 but I don't think he played and beat Earl in 2020.
2014
It looks like they are racking the one ball past the spot, is this something new in tournaments?
Earl is wearing weights on his arm. Stabilize a sore arm? Make him stay down? It looks quite heavy and clumsy. I've seen him play with both arms trussed up and with gloves like a hockey player. It sure doesn't hurt his aim.
He has a medical condition that caused tremors in his limbs. Not to bad early on but it did get progressively worse. The weights help him control the tremors.
What's the issue with Earl's left forearm, why is it wrapped?
He believes the weight gives him more stability.
whats with Earl's left arm ?
I wish we could just hear Earl miked up instead of commentating.
The difference between changing the rules in pool vs baseball is that a good offense in pool can stop the other player from getting to play at all, but in baseball, both teams are getting a chance to play equal time. In equal time, more scoring is more fun. But with pool, it can take the fun out of the game if only one person gets to play.
Wish Earl could find his break again. He's not talking crap when he says he could still be competing with the young guys if not for his break.
Break is a part of the game therefore he can not compete. hell if i was the best ever i could compete.
I can understand that now at 60 my break speed I'd say is half what it was in my 20's & 30's.
YUP
Who is this danny that they were talking about?
Strickland is a fantastic player, makes shots some of which seem impossible.
BUT he is a motor mouth, like some I play with. To bad it removes the desire to want to watch him. I wonder how many games he has won due to his BS? Seems to me he should be chastised or fined!
I think this is actually jayson Shaw’s second account.
A bad habit developed from hustling.
When you can play like Strickland, then I will be interested in hearing your criticisms of how he comports himself at the table. But, I'm not holding my breath, because there are only a few players in the entire world who are actually in his class.

Shane took his hearing aids out before the end of the match 🤣🤣🤣
Where's the second set????
Second Set??
What happened to Earl's arm??
way to shoot Shane, nicely done.
U forgot that he was a pro fighter and won 19 out of 19, they forced him to quit because he had fought 3 fights with a broken hand
Who was?
Who in the hell is she talking about?
5:15….Earls racking skills are insane 😂
Strickland and his big grip works very well for people who have a tight grip.
Respect to these great athletes nothing like holding a one pound cue
Athletes? Hahahahahahaha!!!! An athlete is a person who competes in one or more sports that involve physical strength, speed, or endurance. Athletes may be professionals or amateurs.
Just can't watch grown men playing with the 9 racked on the spot.
I'd really like to hear all the antics that Earl was saying, but the announcers keep talking and talking and talking over Earl.
APA?
Earl cant accept someone is better
Awww, US pride is strong here but sadly, there's no single spectator in sight! Never mind, I'm rooting for my idol, the current US champion Shane Van Boening! 😎
The seating arrangements were such that the bulk of spectators were not on camera. There was stadium type seating with plenty of spectators.
Strickland is a very aggressive player. However, being a friend of the late Danny Medina I would say Danny was even more aggressive that Earl.
The Earlcane a force of nature.
Why didn’t Shane do a combination shot on the scratch??
I don't mind watching a good game of pool or watching Earl Strickland shoot a good game. What is bad is listening to Earl's big mouth. He will ruin a good game by not keeping his mouth shut.
Instead of whining, you could use the mute button.
Yeah. I was watching this match on mute and his bickering still hurt my ears.
Great match, in spite of the "commentators ".
Date limited month await rural west enthusiasm sport suppose knock.
I love the commentators lisp
A lot more than 8 US Open championship between them now lol
21:41 “they don’t know it was a bloop”
Does Shane still win top tournaments?
Yes.
Earl is playing phenomenal for a man way past his prime
My boy Shane is no joke
My pick for top three players in order are as follows the GOAT Efren Reyes… Earl Strickland and Corey Duell.. all three of these people in their prime destroys van boning.

1:17:37 looks like he hits the 2 first…
If you watch at .25 speed you will see that it is a legal hit
Que le ocurre a Earl en su brazo izquierdo?
Earl has his Power Ranger arm on, looking like a Nascar audience member turned Robocop.
I finally want to stick-up for Earl when Shane was shooting at the six. When he missed it, he then has to stand at the table and see how he left Earl. When you miss, walk away, it's Earl's table. This is at 1:27:18
Everyone does that though. Earl does the same thing at 37:40.
Lo reto Earl a Shane cuando finalizó el juego.
Hard work Shane to push through
Why is Earl wearing those pads on his left arm?
