Jeremy is such a gem of an announcer
Good match. One of the best announcer teams around. Congrats
From the Dayton Open in 1982 until the present day Earl Strickland has been at the very top of his game . I can think of no other person of any sport to be a top contender for that many years .
Efren Reyes.
Amazing the top 20 in the world all in Vegas this week
Earl took off his extension because the tables were playing so quick. I was there.
I don't know who is this guy, Jeremy Jones, but he is the real winner of this match! Dude just flawlessly guessed all the shots!
Double J, JJ... was a monster when I was up and coming Us Open Champion and in my opinion went against the typical 5'6"-5'8" pool player champion size.
He openly talk about what is needed to get done. The though spoken of a mind of champion.
He mot guess it he is mentally playing it as he would.
There are so many that argue that everyone plays different shapes . All true but when u get a to certain level, there is a percentage choice and comfort choice and and the right choice.
He as a mosconi cup champion might I add , has experienced first hand more than most will ever see.
Excellent gentlemen and great for the game love his insite!
Try to find some of his match you'll be more impressed with his plan if you like his commentary ...
Not a guess
J.J. is a pro player. I'm not sure if he retired or not, but he is without a doubt the best commentator in the sport. He imparts his knowledge on the viewers to the point that it makes watching the matches that much more enjoyable. He also co-captained the USA team to victory in the 2019 Mosconi Cup.
He is announcing over previously edited video so he already knows what's going to happen. This is done all the time and sucks.
The best commentary in the business 👌
According to my wife, Jeremy Jones' voice is the best lullaby she has ever heard.
Muy buen trabajo
What a treat,, Thank you Pool world for Earl and Ralph... This makes all viewing worth while,,, Way to go Ralph ! Thank you Mark and CSI and all involved....
23:10 look at Earl clapping at the 2 ball runout hahaha he's so salty.
Never realized how similar earl’s and ralf’s feather strokes look before they hit the cue ball. A few times when it was only the cue in frame I would mistake one for the other, but the timing of the final cue delivery is quite different
Come on give the pearl a mic!
Marko Zivkovic hhhhhh
Earl's stroke is amazing!
Your mom told you that?
The best cue in the buizz! Check out him playing on the 5x10 on here! Stroke of genius!
Joseph Ammons best in the game.
I was too busy watchin him get spanked to notice his stroke

Las Vegas Senior Care Center!!!
Two Legends. 🎱
The camera man annoys me. He zooms into the player at the break instead of showing the arial view
Its likely not up to the camera person, they typically do what the director says they should do. "Zoom in on camera 4" "Cut to overhead camera" "Camera 2 get ready for a reaction shot on Earl" etc....
I almost always pull for Earl, but he just seemed to have his self-destructive attitude going (albeit at least more professional about it).
They should give Earl a ball-in-hand for that.
Nice they're using the new Predator Ball Set
does it annoy anyone too beacuse it says strickand
Ralf"The Machinegun"Souquet!
That's real cool pool!
Nice match
The difference in the commentators from this era and back in the 1990 just mind boggling.
Now you hear a boring man speaking and the other is a wrestling type of commentators, while back in the 90's we have billy incardona and grady mathews giving us the teachings of how and why players do what they do, I learned so much listetning to these two legends, however now I learn absolutely nothing they just tell me what I'm seeing.
Xanh - Alex Lely is very good in commentating
Maybe it's you, because I learn a lot from Alex Lely right here on this match. Very intelligent player and deserves to be Mosconicup captain IMHO.
Earl's recent commentary is pretty good. Lots better than these goofs that endlessly babble anyway!
Two extremely good - and human - players. Can always learn from them.
If you're watching pool to learn speed control or kick shots, check out older videos of the GOAT Efren Reyes vs. Earl Strickland. Earl got spoiled on lesser talent. This game seems sloppy in comparison. I improved so much watching Efren. Good day.
@@JosephNordenbrockartistraction did you say earl and lesser talent in the same sentence? one thing I will say for earl is he probably had more pool talent than anyone to ever live.. unfortunately he's a head case with some personality issues. Don't get me wrong I agree with everything else you said if you were to model your game after one player ever it would have to be effren. earl is imo the most innovative player pools had in 100 years, he invented the jump cue and then quit using it, he was one of the first to use gloves and extensions as well. never limit who you learn from in pool learn from everyone!
so funny how the slow pace game of Ralf makes Earl furious. Like he wants to jump up and play the shot for him
am I the only one who noticed the graphic said Strickand instead of Strickland? I bet Earl's furious about that too >.
i looked i could not find it were again tks
@@tgh223 It is on the scoreboard during the entirety of the video...
Good to see Earl didn't use those fingers extension.
You mean his artificial bridge...
Dennis Schell hahaha yea whatever it called 😂
Let's go Earl, you are the man!
Earl Strickland vs Ralf Souquet are still looking good at the table
Rack 2 the Ref put the 9 Ball on the Back Right Hand corner of the Rack! I thought that in 10 Ball the 2 & 3 went on the Back Corners, or did they change that rule?
Spelt earl’s name wrong in the scoreboard at the bottom left.
Redox Red no it is not spelled wrong
@@bobbycuesroadhouse2204 They corrected it at 00:34:53 Before that it was spelled "Strickand"
Good eye
not counting the break, Earl ran the 9th rack in 53 seconds. Unreal. see 1:00:05
I'll watch Strickland over young players any day even if he's not playing very well
Agreed!
Why not prefer people based on the quality of their play and their sportsmanship? The only thing that I like about watching Earl is his pace.
@@slc2882 Couldn't care less about sportsmanship, only his game.
Earl is a hell of a shot maker.
Souquet is absolutely brutal to watch.
You have to take a sedative to keep up with him
Wow Earl without extended cue, looks more mentally solid, but he has lots of work to do
Why would you change the cloth in the middle of a tournment
They don't rack the 2 and 3 at the corners?
Why isn't there tape all over Earl's hands?
Does anyone know why the ref is racking the balls without the 2 and the 3 at the corners?
we could do without that 10th ball setting up the rack from the down table camera viewpoint
, seriously guys, marketing ain't at its best there!!!
Am I right that Soquet is always looking at cueball last before stroke!?
I love Jeremy jones comments and nice voice also. Please don't talk about other matches scores.We will eatch them lather on.
Alain Richard The other matches aren’t being recorded. There’s only one “Tv table”
earl the best one
yes..pool..unlike other games isnt affected as much by age...but...still..it IS affected...here you see guys that simply can not play as well as they did when young....its a big club..you know!
Jade Zee And there is a great deal to still learn from these guys.
No long cue , no fingerbandages , no yellow sunglasses , no arm or leg weights , something is wrong
How many times have they match against each other?
@@cry_now_laugh_later I meant in their professional career, I figured more than once, but if you say only 2, I believe u
Quite a few times and it seems like Ralph wins most of the time. Something about Ralph that drives Earl in to his angry fits.
Why do american pool cue extensions have such stupidly long threads on them? Takes a load of turns to put them on or take them off. Not sure why they don;t do a quick lock thread so it only takes a couple of turns like snooker cues have, you only use it for the odd shot anyway.
So the cameraman is showing a great overhead view and a moment before the cue ball is struck, he drops down to table level and misses the intricacy of the shot. What ever happened to common sense? You can't see much from ground level.
I think Earl is being sponsered by Predator and the jump cue is part of the deal.
first rack is vintage Earl.
Salty Earl at the end haha
I was hoping for an interview haha
July Well, Earl just would say that it is too cold or too hot in the arena and would not give respect to Ralf. We saw things like this when he was ask about the match against Kaçi (Don‘t remember when it was, I believe it was last year)
Salty? He shakes his hand...
Ich würde Ralf nicht die Hand geben, der Typ ist ein asozialer.
22:35 Can't believe the Pearl misses shots like these nowadays #notmyearl #notmyarmweights #notmyhighcontrastgoggles
where's your beekeeper outfit? do You have goggles? then get the fuck off the table.
age
Around 37:44 you can see the yellow 1 roll off course, table a bit off there
lol..stop drinking
Good eye.. 1 ball wobbled like it picked up a bit of dirt or chalk or something
Strickand? How can anyone involved in pool not know how to spell Earl Strickland? lol somebody made a mistake
1:06:10 why is foult?
Earl's name is spelled incorrectly...😂
Yeah don't let Earl see that!! He'll have a meltdown!! LOL
You spelt “spelled” incorrectly
strickland the best one
Just realized it says "Strickand"
that table seems a little bit low on the foot end to me.
😂😂😂
Am I the only one who noticed that Earl touched the 10 ball with the cue stick at 26:18?
czcams.com/video/-BQ4hZ_U3rk/video.html
That racking looks a little crooked at 1:04:44
I have never seen anyone more universally hated than Earl, I bet his own mother even wanted Ralf to win
Wow you are hateful and if you said that around Efren Reyes he would set you straight. Earl & Efren are good friends Earl has visited with Efren in the Philippines multiple times and Efren has visited Earl in New York where Earl lives. I watched these guys eat dinner together and practice together at Steinway billiards. You may want to watch who gave the best speech at Efren's retirement party because it was Earl. And then at the end of your rant you went classless and brought Earls mother into the conversation you must be a Trump supporter
@@hansbozler5190 No, he is thinking like a liberal. You might be a conservative but don't know it just yet, Lol.
Why did you have to bring in politics?
I always like Earl. I believe that if he can just concentrate in the game and leave the spectators alone he would win more often. Earl has been playing real good lately.
@@hansbozler5190 "you must be a trump supporter" lol. And hence the npc meme was born. You must be a libtard who is still screaming at the sky over the 2016 election.
@@MrElPoderozo1 Sorry the comment was not trying to bring in politics i was just saying Trump is a anti American and anti military. He dodged the draft just like Bill Clinton whats worse is he disgraced an Iconic American Military hero John McCain. He has said publicly he dose not respect women. He is the only sitting US President that was banned from a War heroes funeral John McCain he is the only president in US history to say disgraceful things about our war heroes
He made fun of Bush senior who was still man enough to ask Trump to attended his funereal and Trump disrespected another iconic war Hero and did not attended. Trump never served unlike the proud brave men he loved to make fun of, Bush Senior and McCain. .
If Trump never served in the military then what gave him a draft dodger the right to negatively comment about our country's military heroes. So it really has nothing to do about politics. Just morals and manners witch Trump has none so the ultimate terrible thing to call someone is a Trump supporter.
But it's not to late for you to grow some balls get some morals and stand up for your country and stop supporting one of the most blatantly uneducated hateful leaders since Adolph Hitler. John Kasich should have been the republican nominee not Trump. Support our war heroes not our draft dodgers.

35:43 Earl be like
Strickand grumpy
Message to all Americans and Canadians: it’s pronounced snooker (snewka) not snooccker.
Really? A "sarcastic" clap? If he had flailed his arms out wide while clapping, clapping slow, that might be considered sarcastic. Give him a break. He was being nice.
14:40 camera quality is bad the blue ball stripes has been eatin by half 1/3
Do those pockets seem rather generous for a World Championship?
These two are not in the same league as Efren Reyes Masconi or Fats. Both are great shooters and players but are infants to the game by comparison.
Wow you don't think earl is in the same league as Efren, Masconi, or fats. I think Earl is better than all those guys here why. Earl has the most US open 9 ball wins of all time five, Earl is the only player ever to win the WPA world 9 ball championship two years in a row he also has the most WPA world 9 ball titles. In 1996 at the first PCA tournament there was a stipulation that anyone that could break and run ten racks would win a million dollars, Earl run 11 racks still a record for the most consecutive racks of 9 ball run in competition. Earl has 61 titles to his name and still counting. His come back victory over Fransisco Bustamanta for his third WPA world 9 ball title was epic.
I love Minnesota Fats and i love Willie and of coarse i love Efren but this sport is judged by world championship titles not fancy shots speaking of fancy shots Efren has zero WPA world 9 ball championship wins. So to say Earl is not in the same league is just wrong. The truth is those other players you mentioned are not in Earls league.
@@bogie1971 a matter of opinion. I have studied all the players mentioned extensively. My conclusion is Reyes is a better player and shooter than Earl. He's beaten Earl every time they played. Totally different league of shooter and player. A skill level of 10 vs 9. Fats would have taught Earl the real game of pool along with Masconi. These guys are in a league of their own. Masters. Earl is still the student because his temperament and ego won't allow him to be a better player and a master of the game. That's what makes a real champion and master.
@@shawndaniel8976 Actually it is not a matter of opinion, winning 3 WPA world 9 ball championships two back to back only player in the world to do so is fact not opinion, being the only player in the history of billiards competition to run eleven continuous racks of 9 ball a record still not beaten for the last 23 years is fact not opinion.
Do you really think Efren beat Earl every time they played? So then explain to me how earl got past Efren to win three WPA world 9 ball titles? And Fats & Mosconi you might want to study and learn about these greats and remember their interviews in the mid 80's talking about the greatest current player they had seen Earl Strickland i thought you studied billiards? Fats & Mosconi loved Earl Strickland and said he was the best current player they saw play the game.
And you must realize these players played different games so it is really hard to judge who would beat who. Mosconi had 15 world titles in straight pool aka 14.1. Fats was an amazing three cushion, Rotation aka 61, player and his long suit was bank pool & one pocket. Allen hopkins & Steve Mizerak both world champions said Fats was the best bank & one pocket player to ever play. Fats said Earl was the best 9 ball player he had ever seen. And Mosconi and Fats both agreed Ralph Greenleaf was the best overall player they had ever seen. Willie Mosconi and Fats were never able to beat Ralph Greenleaf never not even once.
And if you studied all these players why do you disrespect Willie Mosconi by miss spelling his name? " Masconi " It can't be a typo last time i looked at my keyboard A was 7 keys and one row away from O. Fact is you really need to study English not billiards then you might become a master of spelling not a failed student with poor temperament and bad ego who can't spell Mosconi a man you say you studied. LMFAO.
@@bogie1971 to insult me shows your lack of integrity and character. Conversation over. To disrespect me like that shows you know nothing about what you are trying to preach. As an 83 year old retired Arny vet my I may mis type etc but I fought hard for your rights to have an opinion. But to blast me and my intelligence is disrespectful. I was jumping out of planes on foreign land before you were born. I played pool with some greats in my time. I gave my opinion respectfully. Maybe you should go back to school and learn how to respect your elders and those who put their blood and guts on the line so you could play pool.
Could you do me a favor and stop miss spelling the legend Willie Mosconi name. You miss spelled his name in your original post and again in a reply to SPC design.
What a horrible round of 10-ball
If Souquet was my hero, I'd take up checkers. he needs his slide rule
The pool is an extraordinarily difficult game; just lose a few millimeters to no longer be in the pro levels. These have made the history of the game, but you can't expect them to be eternal ...
Earl always has something to say at the end. Lol. He probably just said to Ralph that he gave it away, which he kind of did. Fun to watch in any case.
yea he did - plus his last break at the end was horrible.
ralf is a bad looser, after he lost vs earl he said... i cant uderstand why that asshole earl is not banned and still can play in tournaments.
for me as a german i hate this ralf for that. You noticed that earl was claping and shake hands after? did you see ralf claping or shaking hands?
Earl and ralf have history. I remember a match in the 90's earl was a sore loser to ralf during the handshake and then there was the incident at the mosconi cup.
Later they have corrected his name
There is only one gentleman here. Ralph Souquet.
Earl Strickland is not one.
earl knows he can beat everybody except a handful, and this is where that handful is this week....
you can see at his age..earl can no longer control the q ball as he did when a hungry youngster...yes...one inch off makes a difference
This table looks like 8ft ?
Watching saquet is like watching paint dry
I hope Earl drops at least one F bomb, racks his stick against his chair, and kicks up some dirt off the turf...all the while winning the match so I can see some more antics from more of his matches 🤓
Ralf Souquet but Earl's better
ending sucks big time!
Earl is super pissed and I’m ok with that
Why don't I think when Earl claps, he is genuine?
I don't know. Why? Lol. He has cemented himself as the fire-bellied player that he is, but in other matches (particularly against Efren) he has shown true appreciation for other players' shots. His clap to Ralf early on in this match did seem a bit disingenuous, as it followed Ralf's simple shot on the 10. Maybe he was applauding the end of the rack. Both players not playing _nearly_ as well as I've seen them play in the past.
He has mental issues. it's apparent. Earl has as always angry with Ralph whenever he loses. Earl almost started a fight with Ralph in one of the Mosconi Cups. After winning the match an announcer asked about what Earl said and he said Earl called him a word that starts with F. Ralph said that wasn't the first time. Looks like Earl was better in this one, but he still seemed to say something nasty at the end.
Earl: you got lucky.
How come the referee is so slow racking the balls..? Takes me 10 sec with a magic rack....
Hes nervous because earl will yell at him if he messes up by a fraction of an inch
That goes gor every ref, in any match. That was my point.
@26:22 , 10 ball was moved by earl's cue
why in the world do players allow that stupid plastic rack,,,which prevents the 10 or 9 ...from moving after the break??
Pool is a sport lol. These guys are not athlete’s. it’s a fuking game
Just skipped ahead from the beginning of this video and Earl is already looking up to the pool gods and cursing them instead of himself. Earl is very overrated in my opinion. I mean, can you think of any other pro pool player that develops their own home-made pool gear?
Yeah, no, he's overrated. Lot's of self-inflicted wounds. He must be so much fun at parties.
not over rated...certainly not very...you obviously do not know what pool is,,,thats ok..guys who think they can judge professionals...are very over-rated in their opinions..you are just normally stupid
Lots of mental issues, but his big tournament wins speak for themself. When Earl doesn't complain and talk to the crowd he can run racks over and over again. If Earl played in a room with just Ralph and Earl, and Earl had nobody to talk to he'd probably whoop Ralph most of the time.
Earl "The Girl" Strickland.
Calm the f down Earl!!!
ralph as good as he is , is probably the most boring player to watch lol
These older players miss alot...lack creative positioning...pretty straight forward pool shooting.
Just my opinion, I think the world of billiards could be better represented without the older guy with the bald mullet as referee.
Rack 4 is the worst game ive ever seen in pro billiards.lousy shits from either player.terrible ball placement.
Earl is a bad looser since I know him
And Ralf is a bad looser too, but the difference is that earl can play pool and ralf needs luck to win vs earl.
Earl is the Jimmy White of pool. Can’t quite lay down the cue and admit his time is over
Earl THE GIRL Strickland....Billiards biggest embarrassment.
who cares what you say?
@@m007remote Or you...duh!
