Can retired PRO POOL player Karl Boyes still play? Or is it all going to go wrong?

I enter a one day tournament at the Bal-Enzo Billiard club in Belgium to see if I can still compete with the best players that Belgium and the Netherlands have to offer.
I meet some former rivals from back in my playing days. Does this get the juices flowing again? How do I stack up against this tough competition? Can a former pro pool player come out of retirement and still compete.
With the Average Pool Player in my corner, a new Carbon Pool cue from Whyte Carbon and Viking, team Pool Life take on Belgium 🇧🇪 💪
Check out the great club I competed in, Antwerp, Belgium

What an enjoyable video
Loved it! Such a thrilling race
Keep up the great work
Looking forward to see more new uploads
More to come! Thanks for your comment
Karl when are you coming back to play? The result shows that you are still capable of competing
😅😊😅@@marcosevuoipuoi5007
Seems like a high level of play all around for a random club tournament!
high level compared to americans. yes.
@@thacasualpoolplaya I would still argue it's high level. I play in Poland and there are a lot of great pleayers here. The performance these guys showed is not your average weekly club tournament.
@@MD-vy9jb my comment means American pool is not at a high level.. I never said the pool in this video isn't high level. find something/somewhere else to argue about.
@@thacasualpoolplaya Hi. First of all, please understand that your comment could be understood two ways, especially that there are people here who have english as their second language. Secondly, just chill, man :) I wanted to admire the level of play exhibited here, not to argue with anyone. Please take this as a positive comment, I am not questioning your statements :) I hope you found this video as entertaining as I did, with a bit of healthy push to improve ourseves. There are so many great players out there. All the best to you.
high level compared to random club tournament in all countries. yes.
Karl, really loving these videos. Even the photography and the music, quite sublime. Would be awesome to hear your commentaries as to how the nerves of these tournaments compare to the ones world stage you have been on. Or hearing more about your mental strategy, when being against the ropes or on a hill hill. Keep up the awesome work!
Thanks a lot on it stay tuned lots planned
absolutely loved the content karl, keep up the good work the quality improvement is supreme!
Thanks! Glad you are enjoying it, more new content coming 👊
Club tourneys, or even bar tourneys like that can be a killer. It's difficult to keep one's stamina over 8-10-13 hours, with in many cases having 3-6 hour waits between matches and then having to walk up to the table cold while your opponent has been shooting for an hour coming out of the losers bracket (in a double elimination event).
I think the last tourney I played in I won my first 3 matches in the winners side, sat for 2.5 - 3 hours, then discovered I had lost everything... my stroke, my nerve, my feel.
It was actually then I knew it was time to stop playing tourneys and just enjoy practice and weekly league nights.
words of wisdom.. having the same problem nowadays myself
Good to see you shooting again. You had a few great comebacks which speaks a lot for your mental game. Well played!
Thanks ☺️
Verry nice Carl, you are still great even tho u dont practise. Come to Montenegro pal we love you here💪
Maybe one day! Sounds fun
I always love watching you play, regardless if you are professional or not. Thanks for this exiting and well-edited video! 👍👍
I appreciate that!
Dude. You’re so Rad. As a new player who has yet to run a rack, watching this is both inspiring and so frustrating. Ha ha. What I wouldn’t do to shadow a player like you for a day like this and just absorb as much as humanly possible before going back to the table to practice my basics for a few thousand more hours. Ha.
Keep up the great stuff man. And hop on over the pond and come enjoy some nice American beers some time. 🤣👍🏽👍🏽
Nice words appreciate the kind message
Form is temporary class is permanent 👌
Enjoyed that video , Ive always loved the underground vibe of pool 👊🎱
Glad you enjoyed it
I always enjoy watching you play. Great cue action, you're a natural!
Thank you very much!
Now if we could just get you back on the Mosconi team...
Good shooting there Karl. 🎱 The camera man fell asleep lol! 😂
🤣🤣🤣
The Boyes are back in town
You shot great!!! Welcome back and thanks for the video. Hoping to see more videos… keep them coming.
Thanks a lot
Good shit making it to the finals!
Thanks
Quite enjoyable video :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
very enjoyable and nice to see you back playing again even if its only a club comp.
Glad you enjoyed it
I wish you would play more uk 8 ball comps. Enjoy watching your patterns. A real handful for the top boys.
Actually playing one this weekend hahaha
Really diggin this kind of pool content! Really cool change of pace
Thanks a lot 😚
good stuff again!!! Karl on FIYAAHH! Decent run, didn't expect you to win it but you got so close. Imagine if this was a weekly tournament, you would've taken the next one no doubt.
Bro in a video you posted about a year ago, you were running a snooker table. I recall it, because your friends were giving you hilarious shit, saying stuff like "have a day off!" You are a beast...
Yes good times hahaha
YOU STILL GOT IT BRO!
👍😊 🎱 👊
Sure you have too champ
Damn, pool is hard. I think I'm a good player but I'm just OK....good to see you compete Karlito.
Unlucky Karl. Loved the editing gave us a good idea of how the matches went in a short format.
Thanks a lot Matt
This is so well edited and paced... brilliant... still a proper player
Thanks a lot
Good to see you playing and enjoying the game while competing again. I'm still holding out hope i get to see you and Oscar battle it out.
Showed a lot of grit and determination. Well done.
Amazing video and congrats on the tournament! Love the videos you’ve been putting out recently! Keep them coming!!!!!! 🙌🙌🙌
More to come!
Good stuff. How long were you retired and away? I left competition 9 ball 30 years ago as a top player. Got tired of the 70 hour weekly practice, travel etc started a job, got married, kids, etc, etc and then seriously started back 10 months ago. Loving it! practicing a lot & I saw your refurbished table video. I’m in the middle of refurbishing mine too & going Grey cloth (on black) and tightening the pockets. Few more months to break the cloth in, practice and get used to the new slide and then gonna hit tournaments again. Cheers!
We get old- but it never gets old. But l’m so old that my muscle memory forgot.
The only thing stopping a pool player playing at world class level into their 50s is motivation and physiccal fitness.
11:31 🔥 🙌🔥
Cliff is a monster at the table. Fast pace, great shooter, good nerves. Imo the best player in Belgium. 👌👌
Agree, a lovely player
10:35 let’s f*ing gooooo!!!
Good to see you playing again, always wondered why you gave up so young and while still very very good.
What cue and tip and shaft was your weapon 🔪 of choice in there, played lovely pool mate
Hey Karl, any videos coming about the mental side of the game. How you coped with pressure during big games. Maybe throw in some footage of shots that you nailed or dogged under pressure in big games and explain what you were feeling and your thought process on the shots you were playing. Great videos so far.
Yes at some point will do 💯 don’t worry I got ya covered
Nice photo, editing, music and so on!
Glad you enjoyed it
good luck---you still have it! (however, an announcer might comment that you are not staying down on your shots long enough)
Always a Flaw I had 😔
You need to make a pro comeback..the world ov pool needs you
The music is great! Tension builds! 😊
Glad you are enjoying the content. 👊
Nice one. :) Are you gonna give one of the new GB9 events a go, or are you one-and-done for the time being?
Maybe odd event pal
Great stuff. This type of vid will be real popular 👍
Back up against the wall so many times. Can see the elite level pro mentality right there
For sure he can. One of the best ☝🏻💪🏻
great video format. well played.
Much appreciated!
@@KarlBoyesPoolLifeseeing your video made me decide to start a [english /euro pool] channel. been contemplating it for aeons. Hope to get a few racks with you at some stage over the next few years when i polish up my American pool. respect.
Get in! Great video guys keep it up
Karl and Jayson will represent GB in the WCOP!
He’s a champion. In about 3 weeks of daily practice he can be in pro level form.
Literally, one shot took the win. Karl is such a disappointment. I missed his days on the tour. Never saw him. He totally screwed us all by retiring. Box Office never hit his true potential. He never actually plateaued. There is still alot in the tank.
Shaw is damned lucky Boyes got bored. Just one more year.
JUST ONE MORE FU€KING YEAR...
Karl would have been forever the people's champ. FOREVER!!!
Instead, we are fortunate enuf to get to watch him on his channel.
Retired World Class Pool, still beats top of the game amateurs.
Well done sir!
Mr. Boye’s can still come with a shot!
Of course you can still play Karl, you need to get Sanderson's spot with England for world cup with Shaw. No question you're better than him
Great vid!
Your the man Karl wish you all the best
Appreciate it
Your vids are top, alwags been an abslolute fan of yours. Legend.
Cheers pal!
You did awesome, karl and congrats with 2. place. Now ..what cue are you playing with here?
I'm so used to see you shoot with your old and trusted Predator cue with a 314/2 shaft, and is
genuinely interested in what your new weapon might be. I remember that you got a new setup
from Predator before US Open a few years ago, but this was not that red Sang Lee with a Revo.
Shoot em straight and stay safe. Cheers from Denmark. /Chris.
Whyte Carbon shaft on a Viking butt
Not sure but looked like a Whyte Carbon shaft.
whyte carbon shaft on a viking butt@@Flackbox
Played at that club a couple of days ago, snug tight pockets!
Wonderful club
You are a good lad.
Great tourney!
Yes it was!
Well played 👍🏻
man, beauty content. I love ur vids. keep up the good work
Much appreciated!
Welcome back!
Great video but just look at the size of them bags man 😆
CZcams bags
Good editing, thanks for the video Karl!
Glad you liked it!
Great video keep this up man !
Appreciate it!
Karl: "It's just the cue ball, do you know what I mean?" Average Pool Player: "Yes"
🤣
Awesome video!
Thanks a lot
short answer: yes im pretty sure he can still play
Yeah it's definitely a bad title, it should say , " can he still play at the top level ? Cause obviously he can still play
Only when the opponent is on the hill can he start to get serious it seems
it's not about whether he still can play or not. It's about the will to put hours and hours of practice every day. I don't think he wants to.
@@AngrierGorilla saying that ( I do agree with you ) Luca Breccel won the snooker world's without practicing, in fact he was out on the piss most nights
@@davidmellish3295 yes I know but I think it's a "one hit wonder" strategy, normally it doesn't work like that. Moreover Brecel is an instinctive natural-gifted player, I think Karl is a different animal
Yes why not gotta take it seriously and practice and grind
You still playing good mr. karl
Thanks
👌👌 round 3 frame 2 wouldnt that have been a foul picking the ball out ofter pitting the 9 and white is still moving?
Great video.. Just one question here
How could you play so comfort when using carbon shaft without a gloves ? 😅
Smooth handsssss
Karl you are a god 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Ul in final but awesome getting there Karl
You can definitely still play never in doubt 👍🏻
You've still got it Karl 👏👏😊
Cheers 👊
Boyes mosconi cup 2024 come on buddy 😎🎱
Box Office Boyes!
Great music
Great video !
Glad you enjoyed it
The guy he played in the finals is a 775 Fargo
Great video Karl!
Glad you enjoyed it
Comaan Clifftje !!
You should do a what’s in the bag since you have your new equipment.
Coming soon just wanting a touch longer
great video
Thanks!
Class is permanent 👍
Cheers 👊
No need to be so humble Karl.
You were World Champion After all. Of course you still can play on
Thanks 🤩
He is just good
Great vid dude! I wish you could play in our club at Turkey. Our players would cover all your expenses! 😂
Sounds like a plan
Give me your contact info, lets arrange this! 😅
Competition is so good for the blood . . .
Unpopular opinion: rotation games, such as 9 ball and 10 ball, would be so much more interesting games, if jumping wasn't allowed.
Would love to hear you guys opinons on this!
Great vid as always man!
What cue are you using these days? I see a whyte carbon shaft thiugh
Yes sir with Viking butt end wonderful cue
You didn't fancy playing with the Sports Direct cue?
Should of tbf
Well played
The Freezer 🥶!
Yeah, but Karl was never just a regular pro, he was a top pro. Wasn’t he one of Joshua Filler’s favorite players? And he even recently won 2nd place in the World Cup of Pool with Darren Appleton as Great Britain C
Thank you ☺️
What happened to your predator blak?
Still have it
normal 4,5 inches pockets, or tournament 4 ?
4.25
Just unfortunate in jawing yours and his dropped in that 7 4 frame
You playing the Scottish open ? 👀
Hmmmmm
Mosconi wild card is...
