One of the most talented pool players. Trying to get his hands on too much. If he just focuses on pool, he still has a lot of years left and can challenge anyone on any given day.
Because they are so important to our viewing experience, it should be routine to list the commentators and a little bit about them and their qualifications. It will only add interest and spice.
Cantor Daniel Pincus A valid point. The commentary on this video was not just poor, but at times non-existent. Unless and until pool can present itself in a polished and professional way then it will never break through to become an accepted sport. They had a line at the bottom where they could have displayed the score but no, even this little (but vital) thing would have been too much trouble.
I try again: are there any other videos of this tournament? especially semifinals and finals... I would love to see 200 high-run by Appleton vs. Bustamante.
ok let's clear something here ... earl is a really really AMAZING !!! pool player and a very creative individual through all the pressure of the game yet he is still the last man standing but , his only problem is that when things doesn't run as he plans ... HE GETS WILD !! and starts nagging around and talking to the audience hahahah . that's pretty much the description of earl ... what can we say ?? A LEGEND REMAINS A LEGEND .
Little help please...I know pros won't do it but what happens if while shooting the second to last ball and you make it in your called pocket but you also knock in your break ball..does it go on the spot and essentially you have a normal rack and you have to call a pocket and make it in your called pocket to go again and you obviously shoot the cue ball from where it landed also.. This would be my guess...or is it a foul because you can only make what you call...that's the second question also..what happens if u make your called ball in the middle of a rack and another ball also goes in...is the second ball counted..or is it spotted and you continue to shoot...or is it a foul because you can only make called balls...and can you call 2 balls on 1 shot and they both are counted... Say its easier for you to make the second ball rather than getting position... If anyone can clarify I would appreciate it
in that situation, you rack all 15 balls and you get ball in hand behind the line. It is not any type of foul. As long as you pocket the ball you called, you get credit
I now see him as an .. ATHLETE !!! John McEnroe. Muhammad Ali .. were both .. "GAME ON" .. and so is .. Earl ! So .. hats off to .. EARL !!! A world class pool player !!!
In the US "billiards" usually means a carom game: no pockets, three balls, points are scored based on contact between balls and cushions. The hardest version is three cushion--Wkipedia has a good article explaining the rules. Generally considered much harder than any form of pool--all time record run at 14.1 is around 600, all time high run at three-cushion is around 30. CZcams has some good matches--search on the names Torbjorn Blomdahl, Dani Sanchez, Semih Sayginer, or Dick Jaspers. Not many players can cross over between carom and pocket; Efren Reyes (as you might expect) plays a very good game of three-cushion but not championship level.
So Corey is the US Snooker Champion? I wonder why not more of the top pool players have a try at snooker, especially the european pros since there are a lot of open tournaments with good price money these days. Anyway, very nice upload!!!!
There are a few, another good one is Alex Pagulayan hes won a few snooker championships. they just don't have to time to travel over seas to for a snooker tournament because all the different pool tournaments they play. most of them play all the different games 8-ball, 9-ball, 10-ball, 14.1, one pocket.... haha then most of those have doubles and scotch double variations as well as table size variations.
Dareld Jolliffe I agree, that its not worth for US pros, since there is a good offer of pool tourneys in the US, but I don`t understand why players situated in Europe don`t have a go once in a while. Eurotour events have a total pricemoney of 40k €, a PTC event has 125k. And I think that the competition in the early stages on the Eurotour is higher than in the PTCs. Well, it would be a surprise if they could win a tourney, but I think its highly possible that they could reach QF or semis and have a good payday.
thats the nice thing about all the tourneys though... most are open and anyone can enter. so if you feel you are a good player you should be winning, in any tourney.I just hate seeing snooker amateurs ( and "amateurs" is being generous) talk shit about pool when they could not even put a few sets together themselves. I love all billiard games and appreciate them for their differences.
It is not that easy to play snooker. Corey tried on multiple attempts to qualify for the snooker tour, and he failed. It is extremely competitive. Most of these pool players struggle to make balls on those table.
@@John-jl4to It was 435, it was at Breaktime in Greensboro NC, He was playing Big Al, (Al is 6'8") this is circa roughly 1998. I was standing there. Earl and Al are friends of mine. I watched Earl practice every day for about 2 years. He came to Breaktime to practice.
I think straight pool is more difficult then 8 9 and 10 ball all day, personally. If anyone thinks it's easier, ok, go run 200 balls. Let me know how easy it was. LOL
That is kind of an unfair comparison. Cause strait pool you can always dynamically raise the bar to increase difficulty by saying "run n points strait" and just go higher and higher n. But with 9 ball, set up is way more difficult for like 90% of the shots. 9 ball is so difficult it almost is unplayable except for pros. In my personal opinion anyways. Interesting to hear different ones though, strait pool isn't easy, and it's definitely a craft to it different from 8 or 9 ball.
Bob Hooker My guess is that you are a very rude person who looks for opportunities to needlessly insult people who have caused you no offence. My other guess is that you are a person who has very low self esteem. Pool/Billiards is a sport for gentlemen and ladies. Not louts.
Bob Hooker As a player who's played for years and plays this game almost daily, I can tell you that we almost never call shots out loud. The only time you would call a shot is if it's not obvious what you're going for...say you were shooting into a cluster or some other type of carom shot. I don't see where level of play enters into it - almost no-one walks around the table calling each shot out loud. I don't know where you guys are from....I'm in NYC and we have what might be the largest straight pool league in the country here at Amsterdam Billiards - with players of all levels from beginners to pros.
The game of Straight Pool, or 14.1, is a very different game from what you might play at the bar, namely 8-ball. Every single ball on the table is a legal object ball that can be called and pocketed for a point, yes. But the difficulty of this game isn't in making balls (just making the shot in front of you is the easy part), it is in gaining position, not just of your shot, but of all the balls on the table. Many people can break and run 15 balls just banging them around, but because even the break shot is a called shot, the balls are clustered together. It takes a very talented pool player to not only pocket the cue ball, but hit it with the right speed and spin to break up clusters to ensure the ability to continue a run. Watch the break shot at 8:38. It is no accident that corey left that 9 ball where it is, with the cue ball where it is. All 14 shots previous to that break were an effort to have the table in this position. And trust me, that is not easy. I've run the first 13 balls of a rack many times, only to not have shape on my key ball (the 14th ball) to set up my break ball (the 15th ball and the 9-ball at the 8:38 mark). Straight pool only sounds easy, but like many things, the game is easy to learn, but very very hard to master.
William Ryan "Straight pool only sounds easy, but like many things, the game is easy to learn, but very very hard to master." IMO 9 ball, 10 ball and 8 ball are harder than straight pool (14.1).
Why is it that every big pool match you watch ,there is some numbskull farting around the table where they are playing. The guy in the gray shirt was fumbling around down where Corey is trying to play for about 13 minutes , that is unacceptable, what was he doing?
Watching Corey play is pure pleasure. Watching Earl play is like watching a petulant yet gifted child.
Wow, Corey's got great composure and rhythm while he plays. He really makes it look so easy.

It's great to finally see Deuel play 14.1. He stated it was the first game he learned to play.
Couple of good ones
Earl is beast
I would probably be the dumbass that fouls by picking up the last ball to rack it forgetting I had to use it for the break
Hands down the most bizarre commentating ever. Cat separation anxiety...priceless.
I try again: are there any other videos of this tournament? especially semifinals and finals... I would love to see 200 high-run by Appleton vs. Bustamante.
We are supporti ng Dragon promotions and tryin g to sell there DVDs . If you want to see the 200 and out Buy DVDs at www.3cushioncues.com thank you

Corey must go through a lot of chalk

They need to do something with the table Daz is playing on.

Don't you need to call every shot in 14.1, or I'm I mistaken about that? I don't hear them calling shots.
At this level of play, vocally calling shots is a little redundant. My guess is that you are mistaken about a lot.
