"Not a lot that can go wrong from here" oh boy are there some things I could show you! 😂
Gareth Potts and 4 dry breaks, words you don’t see that often! 😮😮😮
Enjoyed that, even the comms lads have learnt to say less and leave some airspace instead of filling every sec with talk. Well done.
Potts hammered again. Cardinal sin 4 dry breaks, yet few weeks ago he puts a vid out "here's how to break" 😂😂😂
If you don’t think Potts is an expert…. You’re a moron
Go on boys well played 👏
Good one karl hardluck potts on breaks
Karl is the real deal
Potts break is textbook for American pool but I don’t think this technique generates as much power as more of a parallel strike.
hes literally one of the best breakers in the game lol
Hi
@@NothingSuitsMeLikeASuit hi
@@NothingSuitsMeLikeASuit I disagree. I think Gareth hibbot, Craig marsh, etc strike it more flush / parallel. Getting that little jump of tur cueball means you lose a bit of power as it’s bouncing too much before impact
Boyes the GOAT
Hai
I've always been told in American 8-ball and 10-ball (similar breaks) that you should aim to pop the cue ball up in the air and keep it around the center of the table. While these two are undoubtably great players, neither of them seemed to make this a goal. It was drawn back to the top rail every break except one from Potts. Does anyone know why this is? Do all English 8-ball players break like this?
One difference is the UK 8 ball white is smaller (and lighter) than the other balls, so when the white hits any other ball, it's not actually hitting the center of that ball, it's going slightly under. This incentivises it to stay down more than anything. Unless you cue down slightly when you break, the ball tends not to do this. Hitting the white at full speed directly in the middle would cause some backspin because of this. Someone like Potts does smash the balls, then someone like Selby/Cousins would barely hit them in comparison and still get all the balls moving really well.
As the balls are all the same size in snooker/US 8/9/10 ball, the white reacts differently. I regularly see people go off the side cushion back towards the middle when breaking off in 9 ball.
Made his name in 9 ball? Chicken & egg springs to mind
I know this is like 8 ball but the balls are different colors and with no numbers. Are the pockets rounded also? They look super tight. Might be just the camera but how wide are the pockets? Thanks.
In UK we play with reds and yellows rather than numbers like US 8ball. The table is smaller, the balls are smaller and yes the pockets are much tighter too
indeed, corner pockets are much harder but middle pockets are easier. Also the white ball is 1/8th smaller than the rest like coin op balls since the sport was born from pub culture.
I'd have watched more but too many adverts
It hurts Gareth
Kind of funny seeing Potts get absolutely mauled on his home turf by someone who’s all but retired from competitive pool. If I were Gareth I’d be reconsidering my entire life.
it's not like boyes is 60 years old, dude's still young and plays pool literally every day, he just doesn't compete much. gareth had 4 dry breaks, what's to reconsider lol seems like you've never played competitively anything, it's a short race and anyone can win on a given day. doesn't take anything away from gareth.
Can You get me contacty 12:46
First shot looked like a foul
Some nose on gareth
He can sniff out a pot a mile off youth
American pool players are just better than English pool players
Karl Boyes is English
But he's known mainly as an American pool / nineball player@@chrislaw4189
Awwww cry baby Gareth lost hahahahah tosser
Thought he was gracious in defeat actually
