23:31 why SVB got a foul doing this shot?
These commentators need to chill. Jesus. The constant yapping and trying to guess what the player is going to do is just too damn much.
I don’t normally mind George for commentary but this commentary is horrible.
Absolutely brutal. I mean he’s calling the most random shit all match and Tim is like “no are you insane?”
Exhausting to hear them try to one up each other like a couple of APA 5s trying to show off who knows more...
These commentators are difficult to listen to , useless banter. We need JJ on all of these commentaries
JJ and Mark Wilson together is my favorite.
Love JJ. He's so good.
Earl would be GOLDEN!! 👍🏻
Alex Lely FTW
JJ, Niels Fiejen, Tim DeRuyter and some of the other pros are the best, highly knowledgeable and definitely no useless banter!
For the commentators, y’all need to stop the overlapping banter and the trying to one up each other and stop guessing at what the players are going to shoot . Call the plays as they happen and maybe conject on some of the shots. You missed quite a few calls because you were too busy by over explaining what shot you would do and missed that the shooter called a pocket!
Agreed!! This guy with the accent is awful!! Just call the match as it unfolds like you said. It’s brutal to listen to.
Brutal commentary
How about you don't watch
Imma watch now and I’ll edit with my opinion
edit: it’s pretty terrible, better on mute
Yes, please!!!
This isn’t about you.
Ама што гледам јас😢
The younger sounding commentator is terrible
If it ain’t Karl or JJ I mute the match. These guys know nothing the calls they’re saying and they just keep rambling
I can’t stand hear the commentators’ sticky mouths 😖
Same B Day as me. Cool
Who is the Euro announcer? He just glad hands Predator. Telling us don't believe your lying eyes. But who is he?
Niels Feijen I think.
The production and presentation is outstanding. For the sake of your sanity, kill the sound. Take a clue, fellas: less is more.
I think Shane is a more complete player. Efren had a loooot of luck in his life
Please get rid of the commentator with the higher pitched voice, wow talk about never shutting up, he needs to listen to the snooker commentators and learn how the pros do it
I know.. These guys sound like Eve M. trying to call Allison's game.
Who are these commentators? Lol they sound like theyve never seen a pool match in their life lol
Not a fan of these short 'sets.' Give me a race to 9, 11 or 13 or more.
Low Audio guys
@ericroberts SVB is one of my favorite players, however, I was rooting for you on this one. You have a great career ahead of you! Don't ever stop playing and I will be watching for more of your games in the future!!!!
Volume is super low..
The Kid done well playing someone of the status like SVB. He will be fun watching his game grow over the years. As usual,SVB played a great respectable game.
I agree. Sort sets...anyone can win...then a spot shot to determine the champ? You don't have to try and reinvent the game.
Just have a spot shot match to 25😂😂 ridiculous spot shot rule
Terrible commentary
That kid isn’t ready to compete at the same level as the pros. He plays like an APA 6. And it isn’t even about age because Yapp is definitely pro level and only a couple years older. Keep practicing, Eric.
I watch this to go to sleep specifically due to the commentary so hard to listen to 🥴😴
the commentator is so bright than the player
I love seeing the future superstars play one of the GOAT Johnny Henson Professor Pool
Young Eric is going to be a world champion one day
Eric shot just almost as good as one of the best in history. He and SVB are going to join the hall of fame when they turn 40. I think it's something like 2 years for SVB
@@alexjordan3393 yeah he has a great head on his shoulders and mentally strong young players could learn something about that from him so they don't go down the same road as so many younger players that go down a different path and waste their talent
lmao theres 100 guys as good as him
Someone tell Lehman to shave that top 😂
Shane Van Boening went easy on the boy
I saw that too. When he missed that 7 on the wrong side and had that look on his face. Made me think he was showing some mercy
Shane is robotic. I’m tryna be robotic like these guys I know they are turning and bending into their shots to connect with the table. It’s obvious, and natural and I’m gonna figure it out.
Agree completely. WAY too much speculation pre-shot with each trying to show how expert they are. They were wrong much of the time.
Just mute if you don't like commentary. Myself, I greatly appreciate insight into the game, and prefer even mediocre commentary over none.
😂😂😂😂😂
I can't watch this - the camera is jumping all over the place - to views which are not useful and often hide what's going on. The main view should be at the end of the table and only occasionally some other view to clarify something - which doesn't happen that much in 10-ball.
I fully agree with your complaint, I can't/wont watch this jumping beans camera work but I doubt anyone running this mess reads comments.
Not it wasn’t the cloth or a technique failure it was mental. Technical failure is also caused by the mental state
This camera work makes me dizzy, adios I wish I was sitting in Vegas watching the matches, then the pool table wouldn't be jumping around to different angles.
Ouch, that shot on the one ball second game of second set, Uhhgg happened to me the other evening in league I know how he feels. Made a couple good shots, just lay up this easy one and get my leave - relax too much and don't hit it right.
SVB is just warming up.
And....to be a broken record.....the replays are nice but they NEED to include the end of the shot, when all the balls stop moving, then give the viewer a few seconds to look at the table after the balls stop rolling. Watching replays of Safeties is useless to if you stop the replay too soon, before all the balls have stopped moving. Even Joe Rogan commented on the replays stopping before showing the end.
Ps. When templates are used, most of the players are using a lot of spin trying to get the one-ball into the side with consistency. I was initially against the templates, but now I would rather see their use. Predator doesn't sell templates, only triangles, and they are one of the major sponsors in nearly all of these tournaments. There is an argument against templates, that they are too predictable, but I think the cons outnumber the pros here.....
Shootout format is terrible. Wonder is the pro's hate it also.
Go Eric
I wonder who would win in a match if it was SVB now and Efren Reyes in his prime 🧐.
Shane cue ball control was pretty bad I must say. Eric just choked too many times.
I thought the 1, 2 , & 3 were supposed to be racked in the corners.
Balls racked randomly except for the 1 and 10.
I know league play that’s correct and tournaments I’ve played maybe different in pro events but I thought it was the same
Am I hearing george again? Been a long time buddy , nice to have you back.
err is this a cue sport?
The Alpo Open because they doggin' it.
I wish SVB saw this question, but anyone feel free to answer: in rack 3, 2nd set, SVB shooting 6, why did he draw that ball instead of follow? It didn't look like he was straight on. Seems you take risk of overdrawing and running into 7 out of the equation, which his body language during travel of 6 says he was worried about that after he hit it.
With his power draw, I think he's just making a statement.
With the slickness of the new cloth, if he were to follow it the topspin would have killed the cue ball on the rail.
Hes a pro bro never question them they know what they're doing
It's because going forward with top would've taken the cue ball across the 7 ball pocket line. Pros and very good players like the cue ball to travel into or away from the pocket line giving them much more margin for error. If you saw, by drawing the ball, he was able to make the 7 even if he came up 2 feet shorter or went another 3 feel further. If he used top and came across the 7 ball pocket line, he would have had to stop in about a 6 inch window to guarantee the angle on the 7 that he wanted.
I have noticed that SVB prefers stun/draw shots over top. I agree with you and have questioned a few of his shots on a bunch of videos for the same reason, he could have just toped that cue ball right back into the middle of the table. But if you watch him play, he will always stun/draw that's just his style.
I don't think jump shots should be legal but that's just my opinion. Also, does anybody know how old Roberts is in this match?
I'm with you. I would at least like them to be not allowed following your own shot. I see too many matches where a pro snookers themself because they got bad position and they just pull out the jump cue and finish the runout. How about no jump cue following your own shot at a minimum
Unfortunately, these days, despite the money getting bigger year after year, professional billiards players need sponsors to make a living at it. Mr. Roberts needs someone to help him purchase some higher-end clothes that fit properly (his clothes are plain and too large, which makes the high-water pants-hem baffling). In fact, perhaps even spring for some bespoke pants and shoes. He also needs a proper modern haircut/style for a young man (not saying you need to go full Roberto Gomez, but a haircut/style out of this decade would be helpful). A little attitude and a new appearance, his handsome boyish face would put butts in chairs and viewers tuning in all over the world to watch him play. His game is excellent, great fundamentals, great stroke, good pace, (mostly) good judgement.
He also needs to see a Dermatologist for his facial acne. And while we are on this potentially embarrassing topic, if you're going to be "on TV," you need to straighten and whiten your teeth. To be clear, I want to focus on the pool, never mind what someone looks like. But we live in the world we live in, and until pro billiard players can earn hundreds of thousands from just a dozen tournaments a year, these things will matter. (Plus I like "nice guys," at the table, like SVB).
If the players look like a million bucks, with tailored bespoke pants, shoes and shirts, it elevates the viewer experience and the money will come even faster.

That's a dimwitted reply, should have kept your comment about pool!! And the younger generation has different tastes in clothes...
@@jameswiseman9452 Right. Talk about a douche.
And your comment is probably why you're watching on TH-cam and not a professional pool player!! 🙄🤦🏼♂️
