My father was in a amateur tournament in the 90s. They flew him out to Vegas, paid for his flight and hotel!
Commentators keep thinking Shane is going to bank when he has a thin cut down the rail. Haha. When you can cut the wings off a fly, you don't bank if you don't have to
He does like banks too though. It's hard to tell what Shane is gonna do. His patterns are crazy sometimes.
2:06 Billiard makes happy ;-)
Painful to watch...we have all been there Thorsten...just couldn't catch that gear...
He shot that last 8 at warp speed. Wow
Great camera angles and good commentators. Really enjoyed watching. Tfs!
1:03:08 !!!!! WTFFF AMAZING SHOT
SHANE VAN BOENING❤❤❤
You hear these commentators speak of 2 names that are famous and are in probably the most famous poster or photograph in pool, its called the road runners, and those 2 are part of a 4 man group picture taken in mid or late 70s, why it was so famous, is before any one of them achieved world champion which all 4 did later, at time none were world champion, the 4 are.....mike segal, larry liscotti, danny deliberto, and james rempe. photo is of them standing besides a car they were fixin to get in as they were driving from town to town hustling pool....HENCE "ROADRUNNERS"
Both good players. Who won the tournament
Shane Van Boening
Another Great match, unfortunately Thorsten just didn't play his game.....
He was really struggling.
Position at 54:37 for 8 ball😲... Amazing!
Toasty constantly taking the wrong shot. His head wasn't in it
What does lag for break mean?
Who ever wins lag gets to use the first bathroom break
@@chriskozub8012 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
not surprised that a wwe fan would ask..duh, what does lag mean, also six string..while i have you here, break means to scatter the balls with 1st shot...anything else ...boy
@@phillipwilliams2249 lol I was joking 🤣
Lag at 2:31
What does Hit It Thick mean?
Hitting too much of the object ball with the cue ball making the object ball miss on the short side of the pocket. Hitting it too thin would be the opposite, not hitting enough of the object ball and missing on the far side of the pocket
When you hit from the thick back 😏
Fundamental errors in shot selection by thorsten. Strange to see that by one of the best players on the planet.
hes also a human like you and i . or do you playing your matches every time on highest lvl?
Freddy and George are var and away the best commentators in the sport.
I thought Thorsten looked like he was either extremely tired, or ill, or perhaps drunk. He seemed to have a very difficult time focusing and he often made bad decisions. Both players ran peculiar patterns. Still it is a good video to watch.
Agree, strange (un) patterned play. But they can make'em all, even out
of position. Me? I hit the panic button !!!
Has any one tried the Laser Stroke Training Aid?
look up venom how to aim. it was a ten min clip or so with about 3 tips but the aiming tip was the best and easiest way ive ever seen it explained n ive played for 30 years. venom pool tips might get you there. good luck my friend
ON THE TOPIC OF SHOULD SLOP BE ALLOWED ? Well lets see what do you gain and what do you lose. The advocates say it adds excitement to the game.. such a statement reminds me of when ignorant people clap when they see a ball slop in, granted theirs shots that werent actually slopped in, but appeared to have, and the ones that were slopped in sometimes to the unknowing eye appeared to be intentional, but the skilled player and the knowledgeable watcher USUALLY can tell the differance, as far as the added excitement, personally i never get excited over shit in balls..at least not since i had 1 month experiance in game...say when i was 13 yrs old. NOW imagine the players are hill hill for state, city, or smaller championship... one player shits in 3 ball then proceeds to run out the easy remaining rack..whereas without the shit the opponent would have run the easy rack..what we gained in some eyes ( the ignorant few) was a bit of excitement. What the opponent lost was his bid for title, that he may have practiced for twice as hard, and been twice as skilled as the lucky ass. What the spectators lost was the answer to the question who is the states, citys, etc. champion, simply put absolutely no one knows..they can guess at best...I say the dubious excitement to the knowing is to high a price to pay....Now thats just one shit shot that could have caused this travesty of justice..in reality ive seen numerous shit shots in a few minutes, like we all have, and thats just for state, or whatever title...how much more terrible for world title, And for the idiot that says its an even chance for both players to slop balls in, i say such an ignorant person is not from this planet, because everyone knows some people are luckier than others on any given day, For the retard that says well it wouldnt be 9 ball without slop, many many games and sports progress thru rule changes to better the event. I say, dont change the rule on any game unless it could change the outcome in an unfair way. (obviously this could). say costing player or team the most important thing they have trained for for years and years...Or lets forget players/teams of countries and there hard work and let the few ignorant get some false excitement. (how stupid is that), Now we all realize ever since we were in 1st grade theres going to be some crybabies who will lay on the floor, kicking their feet, wailing etc. If the more skilled, trained or superior individual has the advantage every time, due to skill. so the unskilled crybaby will lobby the teacher or parent or principle to allow in a measure of luck. then the namby pamby person of position, teacher, parent, principle, tournament director... will say..yeh lets make it more even, so lets allow luck, that way its not same winner every time. As if thats more important than finding the most deserving, i love pool but this one point im so tired of debating, with idiots for the last twenty years..im ready to stop watching pool and instead just watch two unskilled morons flip a coin over and over to see who,s the best at flipping....how exciting.
Interesting point, and you’re not wrong, but all the pros will say the more you practice, the luckier you get.
Honestly it is boring to see Shane play. He's like a bot making all the right moves.
the two worst commentators in the pool world
George is ok, and I do like Freddy commentating. A lot of people like them in fact. I'm sorry you were forced to watch this free high quality steam. Must have been terrible for you.
@@bjones72751 He's right though. They suck dick lmao
Agreed. So shut up Mr. iM sOrRy YOu WeRe FoRcEd To WaTcH tHis guy lol
How hard is it to commentate? What is your expectation?
@@theabhorrentchef7226 the fact is if your a really good player like myself then you prefer commentary like ken shuman and or jeremy jones, who happen to know something about pool, if your crappy at pool then george and or freddy please you, so obviously the chef knows how to cook and thats it..so shutup chef. and it has nothing to do with their voice..its the content, dummy.
