Probably the best bank pool match I’ve ever seen, hands down.
The best you say? Obviously you haven’t seen that much.
@@gumaming which one is better?
@@aloysiusvo318 any Friday night bank ring game...Shane isn't a bank pool player....and short rack banks is like a crap shoot...
@@markhamblin1112 any link of a good one for me to watch?
@@aloysiusvo318 the BEST would have been Eddie "The Knoxville Bear" Taylor, or any black bank pool player, particularly from Chicago. Problem is Eddie was active before there were cameras everywhere, and he passed away some time ago. There's a video of Taylor giving pool stories, showing bank skills and how to bank video on CZcams. As for black bank pool players, maybe start with Bugs Rucker. Thing is, black players play more bank pool and one pocket than whites or any other race for that matter. Some say (Kid Delicious book) it had to do with how back in the day you paid by the rack and a guy who worked for the pool hall racked for you. Well one pocket is the longest lasting game of Pool, banks are the main type of shot, and that's what black players played to extend the time of each rack. A single rack of one pocket can go for hours with high level players with exceptional safety skills.
The bank at 54:50. Idk why but the way Shane's non-bridge hand came up when he realized it was going to miss cracked me up. It was so petty and passive aggressive, bur i loved it.
Shane’s such an unbelievable player.
love how much fun billy has when he plays. not enough players make jokes to each other during matches. the confidence he banks with is just ridiculous too
My son is a jr. international champion and he beat Billy's team in Nebraska to win the national championship..ps my son was shooting out of shooters in olathe KS and Manny Perez was also a team mate and Danny owen from Nebraska My son beat to qualify for Jr nationals....He was taught by myself,Tom Rossman aka dr cue and the best bar box player in the world David Matlock.. Go Google the vena championship in Lincoln Nebraska he was there poster boy and was in almost every picture He played for The SHARP SHOOTERS from Shooters in olathe KS
His opening two games were ridiculous, I think he'd give me a run if he were playing banks and I was shooting direct, and I'm almost not kidding. Incredible level of play 10/12.
But his lack of patience and intermitent concentration came across as poor attitude which clearly cost him a US Open Bank Championship title. Boo, joker-Billy.
@@donaldhenak4585 I never witnessed a poor attitude, but maybe a little bit of over confidence. The only poor attitude I see is this dumbass comment, joker.
But threw the match. Not too funny!
Thanks for letting us watch this great match
The best bank pool game I’ve ever seen, it’s a pleasure watch this two great players. Shane with so much experience and billy with enormous potential ❤
52:57 what a shot!
Thank you very much CueSports International! Congrats to both players Shane Van Boening and Billy Thorpe! Cheers guys
Thank you CSI. Loved watching this championship
The hardest thing as Shanes apponent in my opinion is sitting in your seat and not applaude almost every ball Shane makes.
Billy is also a very good shot.
When he tries.
americans really suck this guys dick way too much. he's barely even top 10 when you count all the european players
Great match. They're both monsters at bank pool.
This is my first time watching a competition like this, and it's FANTASTIC ! What a clinic/tutorial on banking ! 👌👍❤
52:50 Billy Thorpe, sick shots!
Two of today's greats in action. Billy is the best to watch because he runs and guns so fast and very accurately. If his range continues to improve with just a little more seasoning and experience, he will become one of the bests of all time. Certainly in bank pool. That and Honolulu (banks, kicks, caroms, and combinations-no straight linear shots) are among the most beautiful in pool and my favorites to play and watch.
I didn't know Honolulu pool was a thing, but I made up a game almost identical to it that I play by myself sometimes.
The only problem with Honolulu that I can see from reading the rules is that you put balls back on the table, and keep score, both of which are problems when playing on a bar table. Is there "Honolulu 8 ball" or "Honolulu 9 ball"? I could see it working for 8 ball, if you just eliminate the 8 ball requirement to hit your own ball first.
And I thought that I was a decent bank pool player. Oh boy, against these too I would have no chance...
A few years back, for a CSI event Shane was asked "what is your least favorite game?". Shane's answer: "Bank Pool".
Betting his favorite might be one pocket, though he's obviously a beast in most all of them. Would be interesting to know.
@@MrJdsenior I think he said it was 8 ball.
@@drummingsamir I know some of them do like 8 ball, I think probably because they get so sick of rotation, since that appears to be far and away the most played in tournaments.
@@drummingsamir 8 ball is the most fun imo.. it includes strategy and skill.. One pocket is also a great game. I can't stand 9 ball tbh...
@@drummingsamir yea it’s bar table 8 ball
Thanks for the video! SVB is the best im so happy haha
Great match thanks for posting!
I actually thought Shane might lose. He's a beast!
Yes indeed!!! Billy however might still be the best bank pool player, but he might rely on his banking talent a bit too much, whereas SVB's experience can manage the game better.
@@readynowforever3676 best comment award!
Billy!!!!!!!!!! Was really rooting for him. We all know SVB is one of the greatest of all time. Billy is the better bank pool player but just needs to up his mental game. I think Shane's unrivaled mental stability especially in adverse situations is his secret sauce.
I really appreciate these uploads, I just wish if they didn’t put spoilers for scores in the thumbnails.
Definitely excited to see the one pocket
Years ago I saw Shane shoot (as a very young fella) in Rapid City, SD....I knew he was going to be something special even then. I'm from down near Hot Springs and used to shoot a little stick.
Everything was GREAT...great match, shots and commentary! Thanks for sharing.
The commentary would be better if the commentator told us about the game, rather than wonderful people he knows. I'm interested in the game and the commentator is
talking about people.
Congratulations Shane!!
I like Mitch commenting in the booth. Does a great job, and love his game too. Great player.
Awesome match!
Always enjoy watching these streams but, one thing on the wish list is to be able to see where they are striking the cue ball on some of these shots.
World Python no. Most high level players know where they hit on the cue ball depending on what happens when the cue ball hits the object ball and even if they know what type of english they are using it doesnt mean they can replicate their game
Need help with english
With enough experience you can easily tell where and how cue ball was struck
who is watching this after the Billy Thorpe fight?^^
Which bowling alley did they play in?
1:07:44 damn
Great shooting. Great commentary. Subscribed
SVB is totally awesome. He has worked so hard be so good at all the games.
amazing!!!
Great match. Both are winners!
Really like those skill, SVB played very good, Billy too. Pool is not dead.
Great game. Bravo fellas
Even though there have been a few better players than svb in recent years imo, he still has the cleanest most effortless stroke ive ever seen
Excellent Commentating by Mitchell!
Awesome match.
Great commentary.
Thank you 👍
And the crowd goes mild!!
So good.
Three minutes and 5 for 6 opening game. SMOKIN'! Awesome run up by Shane from 2-0 down.
Great match, great commentary. Enjoyed it.
One suggestion, could you put the commentator's names in the description, so we know who we are listening to? You may have said in the beginning, but if you did, I missed it.
I looked up bank pool on YT to watch a few matches, and CSI has almost all of them posted. Thx.
How about some three cushion billiards, if you have any in the archives. :-)
Perfect example of a weirdo watching weird random videos on YT:
Me: This match is intense!
Also me: Hey, the Avs are playing on the TV!
Great bank players
Rack 8. Great stuff.
Killer commentary too
I don't know how they make these shots when they keep saying he's going cross eyed.....lmao
Fun match!
thanks great match
21:36 what the shot
Shane is gettin' better and better
First time I've ever noticed SVB do a "Chicken wing! 3-3 😁
What weight sticks are they using?
What pictures are these commentators seeing? How many times have they called the shot wrong or said "He's missed it" when it's plain to see the ball is going in?
Great match
I'm curious...do kick shots count in bank pool? I've never played and so don't know.
no. only true banks count. no caroms or combinations, either.
Whoa i didn’t know there was a us open bank pool tourney
Billy Thorpe will be a multi world champion billiards title holder in the future. Kid can flat out play, any game you throw at him. Just gotta learn not to get excited once he misses a shot or two and throw himself off rhythm. Watched him run 13 racks of 9 ball in Kentucky a few years ago.
Great game. Is the score board on some kind of delay?? Or is the person updating it just asleep some place. Happens on every bank pool game I watch.
Thanks for the posting.
Peace✌
24:55 sweet shot
why didnt thorpe go for the 8 ball to run the rack in the first rack? i find those long banks fairly reliable at pocket speed
Never been a big fan of short rack banks.. I do love playing in bank pool ring games, though.. By the rail, as mentioned..
Mantaapppp 👍👏👏👏
Are you guys kidding me!😇 These guys are banker machines. What a match it was. Mosconi cup is coming up in November be prepared.
Who else high af enjoying professional pool
🖐️
Who play pool and smoke???
Finally a pool tournament that isn't just pros clearing table after table with perfect position play.
Professional pool would be so much more interesting, if they implemented rules to make the game harder, so that virtuosos could win against one-trick ponies, and so there would always be some drama about who might win. Even this game seems to have rules to make the game easier - I'd prefer it if they had to deal with extremely difficult shots and positions.
What's the winner get in prize money
Amazing table
I like my potatoes...hahaha
That was sic.
24:20 nice shot,i saw that shot being made
only watched first 4 games but they both played very well
Ads are in the absolute worst times
Good good 👍👍
I watch Truman Houge run 13 straight banks in a row after being down 2 games, I don’t remember the other player missed and Truman finished. Truman was the best 10-12 yrs ago, then John and since has been a bunch that played really well including Efren
great match no shame there
42:50
That's one of the hardest shots in pool
Love this dude. Shane Shane Shane !
Can someone explain the rules and explain why sometimes they touch the balls under the table but don't put one out?
Anyone else find the logos at the top of the video distracting?
Commentators make this video awesome.
Maybe the rules should be 2 banks per shot. One bank is far too easy.
Who’s commentating??
1:07:33 jesus
I think the commentator is wrong about Billy being io to beat Brumback. It would be a great match. So someone should set the match up. It would be a classic. A race to 11would be long enough to determine who's the King Of Bank. Someone please arrange it!
He shoots good banks and John is aging like Truman hogue did, took John time to get truman
Why do they sometimes place a ball back on the table ?
Shot in the wrong hole
Too many ads.
I know this is an old comment but, fast forward right before the end of the video, watch the last few seconds and click replay: no ads.
BILLY THORPE IS MR AUTOMATIC IN BANKS
Shane often raises up when stroking.
21:38 Efren fav shot
Try 3 cushion billiards .
Could someone please explain why the 4 was dotted at 8:50?
You win rack with 5 balls. There were only 4 balls on table when it was Shane's turn.
@@danieljackson7451 Now explain the one at 11:13.
puckerings It was made on the break. After the breakers turn is finished he has to spot all balls he made on the break in play.
Is this a 9ft table?
Pretty sure!
The shot at 52:55 losses shane the set it was a clear dbl kiss on the 8ball and noone caught it even tho you definitely heard it but respect to both players!
i don't hear or see any double kiss
Nope. There were two sounds, The tip against the cue ball and the cue ball against the 8. 'Twas clean.
@42:45
Why do they reach underneath the table after their turn (when no balls are pulled out)?
Was wondering the same thing
They are keeping score. Shane moves the ones he makes to the right, Billy to the left.
@@AlejandroInAustin Ah. Thanks!
Why are balls pulled out?
Hes almost as good as CJ Wiley
Efren Reyes in his prime would dominate Banks pool
It is called "a tell". In this case, of frustration, and no Efren doesn't do that, he scratches his head (right side) when he leaves himself rough... then he pulls magic out of his brain and wins anyway.
