The colours of the balls are horrible, the new 7 ball looks too similar to the 1 ball, the new 6 ball blends in with the colour of the table's cloth, and the reason that the Aramith TV set changed the 4 ball from purple to pink was so they were more distinguishable on TV. Now the 2 & 4 balls are back to their original colours and look too similar again.
Yep! those cyclop balls look fugly and the baby blue shows up real bad on video. The vomit green isn`t much better... I agree the colours should be standarised. Regular colours and tv colours (pink 4/12 ball)
+Alex Schofield To Alex and Kim: I hate the colors too, but I like that these pool tournaments have sponsors, i.e. cyclop balls. So be it. I prefer the colors I grew up with.
I know there's so much talk about SVB's power break especially in 10 ball but I firmly believe that the best break for 10 ball is the medium speed break with control. You will make one the second balls in the side a good percentage of the time and you will have shape on the 1 ball if you hit the rack squarely. Too risky of scratching using the power break. Good job Mika.
@nowheretorun86 They are not Aramith balls. Cyclop, a new player in the market, provided the balls for the pro and amateur divisions at the event. They are, however, using the Aramith "measles" cue ball.
+Aspirahful So much for the "Iceman". I thought it was about his temperament and that he couldn't be rattled. I guess it's just about the climate he comes from.
You haven’t watched enough of his matches if that’s your first time witnessing him act childish. I love the way he plays , but he hates losing more than anyone I’ve seen .... needs to work on just holding it in until he gets back to his hotel or bathroom.... needs a punching bag 😂
Am I the only one who likes the new cyclop colorway? I think they look great and I have no problem distinguishing them. They look ridiculous from the overhead view, but I think it's cause of the crappy camera. /shrug
well while i'm usually annoyed by it, at least there are instances where earl's rants and outbursts that i find amusing. mika's antics are just like parica's, sometimes i just can't stand it... overreacting as though it's the end of the world.
Jay Helfert is good as usual. The problem is the saliva-sounding other guy. Talking over Jay the whole time. Would have been better with Jay doing a solo comment.

That is one beautiful table! At the end they should have just left the video rolling. SVB practicing is just an art to watch.
In my Opinion Ko Pin Yi is the greatest 10 ball player in the world !
+D.J. Nassar His brother is awesome as well
Hello, I agree with you indeed. Little Ko (y)
Yeah I do. A wooden triangle is all that should be used throughout every pro tournament. It makes the game more interesting IMO.

thanks for the upload
a good match and fun games to watch.
best footage is shane at the end lol
First time I've seen Mika snapped.
+Aspirahful So much for the "Iceman". I thought it was about his temperament and that he couldn't be rattled. I guess it's just about the climate he comes from.
or it was just one fucking set of pool..
hence "first time I've seen Mika snap"

Is it possible to upload matches with a little more volume? I've got it on 11 and still can't hear a thing the commentator is saying.
How did that work in the beginning? To decide who racks & breaks?
lol no they changed the colours. I am not sure why though.
whats with the VHS artifact like picture quality? how does it occur ?
size of table is 9 feet???
which set of aramith balls is this?

I think the ball colors are great.
No, I actually really like it.
the color of the balls are switched? or i am a new daltonic?
what does that plastic film that they place before break do?
it makes racking balls fast and racks tight. it is called usually magic rack.
It sucks. It should be banned
Does anyone know the commentator name?
Jay Halfert ?
In rack 5, mika hit the 9 before the 7!
What are you talking about? In rack 5 Mika made the 9 on the break.
Does anyone else hate the magic rack?
At 1:39:32, can anyone tell me what the commentator say so that the other laugh so much. I can't hear because of my bad English
Jay: "Mika got a break."
Ken: "Mika got a pardon from the governor, right there, is what he got."
Jay: (laughs a lot)
10ft table?
9
mika not gentleman enough with that handshake.
well while i'm usually annoyed by it, at least there are instances where earl's rants and outbursts that i find amusing. mika's antics are just like parica's, sometimes i just can't stand it... overreacting as though it's the end of the world.
Jay and Ken = mute the sound
Ko is tryin to look like trump hehe
Immonen's antics at the table are just as annoying as Strickland's.
no where near asannoying
That's not tenball do Luke scherler on search that's tenball
I dont like the colours.
Stupid ball colors
慢刀流拖死急先鋒
Magic Rack and the ball colors suck.
weird looking 7 ball !
I don't like the 7, but I love the magic rack.
This announcer is the worst..
