As someone who watches as much pool as he can get his hands on, I've got to agree with Collins here tbh. I personally, don't care about commentary, if it's truly horrible, I'll mute it & keep watching. I care alot more about picture quality, but even then, unless the balls look like squares because of the pixelation, I'll keep watching. But everyone isn't me. Some people need the choice of a different commentator, different aesthetic, different whatever to get into the game. Which is totally OK. This game is too beautiful for people to be arguing about streams, money, having players be exclusive to their company, etc. The goal, the ONLY goal, if you love this game, should be to share it far and wide with more people, so that more people can love this game. Period. Everything else is just noise. Whatever gets pool in front of more eyeballs, is the route that needs to be taken. This is the easiest game in the world to fall in love with, if you can get new people to watch it, it sells itself. :)
Comment regarding people watching pool videos... There are some commentators I hate listening to. I usually don't watch those games. If I really want to watch it, I turn off the sound. But there are definitely commentators I prefer to others. I like commentators that actually teach while they commentate. I consider myself a student of the game. When people commentate and don't teach it's annoying. I love listening to Earl Strickland commentate! I would watch every video Earl commentates.
Agreed 100% r.e. Earl Strickland. I love his commentated matches. And I STILL wouldn't want to see his face in a box on the screen while I'm trynna watch the game. :)
maybe because he’s not a commentator lol he’s just streamer streaming pool. So ur comment makes sense because ur judging him off something he isn’t lol.
I wish I would’ve caught the live stream of this and would’ve participated in the discussion over who to watch and allowing the players to host their matches with their own personal commentator. I am in 1,000% agreement with allowing this. It’s pure capitalism. Let the free market decide. The only ones against this have a fear of loosing control or, to put it simply, they’re lazy. No imagination to innovate.
Owner of Railyard and xpool here. Completely agree. The ppv helps us make the event happen with the added money, but cutting off view of the rest of the event from different perspectives not only hurts the game and it's exposure, it also hurts the event itself. Hard to knock any chance at more content for pool fans and if we do our job right people will buy into what we offer, if we don't thats our fault not the players promoting their own game and giving our event more exposure. My unsolicited .02
i cant watch this match due to the annoying person who doesnt shut up in the square at the top of the screen who is off topic and doesnt know how to play pool
This is Eric's channel now. Fedor get to steppin!
Lol yeah right
Great match by Eric. Maybe in a couple of years practicing this skills, at 800 Fargo he can help USA in the Mosconi Cup!
I liked it. Decent comms
He's talking facts. Railbird is still releasing matches from derby 2023. So it took them a year to post videos!

Well said and that goes for everything
Deciding rack : ” - Im off to get some coffe..”. ?!!
Like I've been saying since he was 13 years old Eric going to win a world championship eventually
We don’t need a picture box for the commentator
Agreed 100%. 🤣😂
Yeah, no need to have that taking up a big chunk of the screen.
Will Feder be streaming live from the Derby city classic here on TH-cam anybody know thanks
Damm kis smacked down another kid nows it's Robert's Channel

What’s up fellas
so i study fedor before i go play then do fedor mode on the table. not as good as he but im getting there (he he)
Don’t forget to like the stream!
I want to see the pool match Not the announcer. Not watching it anymore 😡😡😡
What English did he put on that shape shot!!?
i didn't like archer's commentary....i actually muted and then cut it short and watched later with fast forwarding
Why say this? Rude as hell for no reason
maybe because he’s not a commentator lol he’s just streamer streaming pool. So ur comment makes sense because ur judging him off something he isn’t lol.
Archer is a stone cold clown. He's lost his mind.
Should keep your negative comments to yourself. Johnny is and always will be a champion and a good commentator as well
Everyone is trying to be like Earl.
Fedor luck next time!! 😂
I can turn the audio off.
I like com. Knows the game and talks about the players and can talk about each shot you know nothing about the game or players
I didn't know you can compete against professional pool players when you're 14.
I like these videos minus the commentary.
That shape was loony toons

So sad we missed your expert commentary...

Get your head out of there
Oh no...back to mute again, cannot stand the annoying commentator!!
I began watching this match but I cannot tolerate the picture in picture with that goofy guy in it. I wonder how many folks are like me....
He's annoying AF.
Bro... read the room. Stop with the forced-face-petting.
