Can't believe all the complaints about the commentator! I thought he was great. Very knowledgeable about the game, and I love hearing about the thought process that goes into shot selection. His style of commentating reminded me of Earl. Thanks for the great content.
I am a bug Fan of shane because not just his skill but also his behaviour on the table. Once i watch fedor, Immediately i like him too. Because also of his behaviour on the table as much as looked like shane's. GG yooouhhhhh
low cue ball deflection but the shaft is high deflection at the tip. Try masseing or jumping with it . It will deflect off the cue ball before the ball jumps.
@@joeygonzo my man thats not how cues work. Low-high deflection is based on a level cue stroke. The carbon fiber shaft Shane has is hollow at the front end with a foam core to compensate for the rigidity and mass overall. Now it is certainly higher deflection than the Predator Revo for example but when you elevate the cue it doesn't matter what cue you use, the ball will throw unless struck directly center. When it comes to jump and masse shots, they're actually easier to do with higher deflection shafts because that's just how throw works. However you absolutely can masse and jump with them. For example Cuetec's new jump cue is the same shaft as the playing cue but thicker and with more carbon filaments and has a phenolic pad under a plastic tip.
Tough for SVB, like when he was a kid and beat Earl or Reyes they hang in there and hill hill, but SVB is still top I think, far better player yet and experience, real talent for pool, I don't think his best days are over.
Yeah I agree.. probably karma for being a jerk in real life.. No shit..not just saying that.. I've never met a pro that was a jerk like him.. plus whener he comes to a certain poolhall to play the pro tourneys...the director says he's super difficult and honestly a straight asshole..idk
Nothings Impostleble I feel like you are referring to Earl... but the comment you replied to is about SVB, not earl... so when you use the pronoun “he”, youre referring to Shane...
Actually the one commentator is a bit too much of a know it all. He knows what he's talking about, but too cocky to consider the other might be right sometime.
He makes it sound like he knows every inch of science on a pool table. If that was true, he would be competing not commentating. When was the last time you saw Shane or Efren commentate matches for a major tournament? Never! because they are always competing and winning because they actually do understand the science of a pool table
@@tmay092698 haha. Not an important topic to argue about. But my opinion is a great coach is different from a great player. This rule applies in any sport. If your theory holds true then tiger woods or federer wouldnt need a coach. Even SVB has people to guide him. He understands every angle and positional play. That doesnt mean he can execute them as perfectly as the top players.
Taylor May your mentality is wrong. That’s like saying why doesn’t an engineer who build NASA’s rockets go up in space? Because he just designs them he doesn’t necessarily care about being an astronaut lol some people just enjoy talking and are very knowledgeable of what they have interest in. He probably plays very well. Who cares bud I like listening to intelligent people commentate these matches
Actually the commentary was a breath of fresh air compared to the usual know nothing they put up... He actually knows what he is talking about. Just listen to his counter part... Clueless.
He is way over the top and sometimes wrongly guesses player intention. His role is not meant to chatter the whole time as if to show how much he knows. I much prefer an occasional insightful comment and a lot more silence.
There's several players that I have a hard tome telling one from another: Kaci, Deul, Thorp, Ouschan... They all look the alike... and I'm a WHITE GUY!!!
@@martinchavez9252 Probably? is that some sort of insult? the commentator was wrong 90% of the time, but you go ahead and comment in support of them. lol, always that one guy with some dumb shit to say, and you, my friend win for the day. Congrats!!!
I'm glad you see it. I could never respect shane as a pool player because he's nothing more than an aimbot. he would get wrecked by 12 year olds where I came from
I wonder if this commentator ever bothered to thank the pool players we youtubers actually came for; .. to thank them for allowing him to let us know by commentating on their playing .. that.. .. ahem.. H E K N O W S E V E R Y S H O T I N A D V A N C E!!
I say it every time lol. You dont see SVB lose very often. I didnt see it happening. But he made q lot of mistakes in this match and he usually doesnt so.. there ya have it. And fair play To Fedor. Doing what hes suppose to do getting out. Nice job.
It is worse than silly! It is innacurate entirely. One serves in tennis because the ball is hit TO the other player to start the point. That NEVER happens in pool. The balls are broken out from rack position, roll about and come to rest before any other ball can be hit. Furthermore, the other player still cannot play if a ball is made on the break. Very different from serving. Nothing worse than dumb commentary except for when it is also totally wrong! Its as if they are trying to add credibility to the game commentary by using terminology from a more popular sport. Just dumb. I'd rather watch these matches with just the pool hall ambient background sounds. Then I'd feel like I was there watching rather than here listening to babbling commentators interfering with my watchmg experience!
Only Earl Strickland can talk about every shot and I'll listen. I don't care about the antics his multiple world titles and US open titles the man knows the game. This commentary is avg at best. Old man sounds ok, he's been around.
From the beginning we could see how this was playing out. It appears all the luck was one sided but that is just the way the game is. As far as all you SVB haters opinions, they suck almost as well as you. Even the comments from the "billiard brothers" in the initial post was rather pointed. I believe Shane is rated fairly and he is without doubt the best there is currently.
This commentator knows a lot of terms but doesn’t really k is what he’s talking about. He called running English check side when it’s obviously running.
Gorse has SVB Cuetec? Annoying player, pointing spots on the table all the time. Preparing the shot, raising up to point the table again. I got the impression Shane fell asleep a couple of times.
Who is this young commentator that doesn't come up for air and knows everything about nothing? How exhausting having to listen to him the entire match. It's a bit over the top and nauseating. I just had to turn off the sound... He probably doesn't know one end of the stick from the other. STFU!!! And all the ads and scoreboard on the screen the entire time. How distracting and unprofessional. Why not just post this when they're racking. But then again it's Steinway Bliiards. They have a long way to get up to a real class act. I lived in Astoria 6 years ago and this place was a dump. Things have improved a bit, I see, but I'm still not impressed!!!
Dear Super Wordy Guy, Please allow the players to be the great ones in this competition. Over-analyzing makes it about you, and nobody’s here for you. I had to watch with no volume.
i need to try to be classy like you when i get triggered by jeremy jones. nicely said. i won't steal your nickname tho, i'll call him 'mr. talkin a lot sayin nothin azz sellout matchroom scrublord monotone used car dronestar. wait... 😳🤭.... i'll keep practicing 😞
@@bird80 Technically low deflection shafts are built to have HIGH DEFLECTION. The high deflection from the tip of the shaft causes the cue ball to have low deflection/squirt. If a shaft had low deflection on the front end, the cue ball would have high deflection.
Jack Ridge dude, it’s a low deflection shaft, low deflection when referring to shafts refer to how the cue ball deflection. What you and the commentator are talking about is shaft flex. Which the carbon shafts don’t have a high level of flex, the low deflection characteristic is from a low end mass.
@@tlinjr Well, go aheade. Watch a low deflection shaft deflect a cue ball compared to a regular shaft. The low deflection shaft will deflect MORE off the cue ball than the regular shaft. It's physics. It's one or the other . I make my own shafts . I've drilled the front end and used carbon tube. Or just plane countersunk hole and paper micarta ferrule . The lighter that front end is , the higher deflection it will have . Which results to lower cue ball squirt . That announcer fully knew Shane has a carbon fiber tube shaft . And on jacked-up shots , those shafts deflect a ton off the cue ball. That's why they are not good jumpers .
Jack Ridge you’re confused on what deflection and shaft flex is. Squirt is a type of deflection, look up dr. Dave billiards explanation on this. Shaft flex is when the shaft actually bends. Some shafts are whippy and have a lot of flex and others are stiff. A stiff shaft isn’t synonymous with high cue ball deflection, the physics has to do the front end MASS not shaft flex.
Can't believe all the complaints about the commentator! I thought he was great. Very knowledgeable about the game, and I love hearing about the thought process that goes into shot selection. His style of commentating reminded me of Earl. Thanks for the great content.
Earl is a phenomenal player to pick apart his commentary. Very calm and collected with the titles to back it. This guy was too much.
Glad we could start this from the beginning...
very good commentating, super knowledgable and informative.
I am a bug Fan of shane because not just his skill but also his behaviour on the table. Once i watch fedor, Immediately i like him too. Because also of his behaviour on the table as much as looked like shane's.
GG yooouhhhhh
For someone who plays the game, i like the commentary, he has great knowledge of the game and I picked so many things. Felt like I was on the game. 🙌🏼
A great newcomer in gorst….beautiful match.
Actually Shane plays with the Cynergy 15k shaft which is a low deflection shaft from Cuetec
Exactly what I was thinking lol like what was he talking about
low cue ball deflection but the shaft is high deflection at the tip. Try masseing or jumping with it . It will deflect off the cue ball before the ball jumps.
Jack Ridge I have the same shaft and I Masse a ball super easily with it🤔 never tried to jump with it cause I have another cue for that.

@@ethanletzer3507 Well, if that cuetec jumped great, they wouldn't make a jump version that is way stiffer . 314 are lousy jumpers. So is the Revo.
This looks like surveillance camera footage
Great match, thank you for the video. Why don’t they have 45 second timers? Some shots take over 3 minutes.
Can we get another commentator next time
Deben reprisar las jugadas y mostrar en pantalla las bolas que caen en las buchacas, mas cámaras deberían instalar para ver de todas partes.
Good commentary. He is predicting each shot accurately.
Tough for SVB, like when he was a kid and beat Earl or Reyes they hang in there and hill hill, but SVB is still top I think, far better player yet and experience, real talent for pool, I don't think his best days are over.

Shanes best days havent even started yet, he doesnt play billiards properly
1:25:48 Score changes before Fedor shot the 10 :D
He said Shane plays with a high deflection shaft?? 1:09:08

Yeah, would be a great commentator if he just talked 50% less.
Disagree. He wasnt arrogant. Just very interested in the positional play. I appreciate the knowledge

Nice Gold Crown table
Take a breath dude
John Barrington that would require not talking 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
Announcer is unbearable -- you don't need to comment on every detail
He is way over the top and sometimes wrongly guesses player intention. His role is not meant to chatter the whole time as if to show how much he knows. I much prefer an occasional insightful comment and a lot more silence.
I enjoyed it...
I thought it was awesome
The announcer is a douche. How come he's not a champion if he knows every fucking thing, every fucking second of play???

where can i buy this cuetec t shirt?

Sounds like Mike Yednak announcing
Shane gotta play safe once in a while ... dial them big ol' balls back and play to win the match.

in 8 ball that is. As aim is a major factor in 7/9/10ball games

Does it not bug anyone else that Fedor has a habit of drying his hands on the table and rails..
I enjoyed the detailed commentary...but Why not just say on break if it’s the same as “on serve”....seems silly
It is worse than silly! It is innacurate entirely. One serves in tennis because the ball is hit TO the other player to start the point. That NEVER happens in pool. The balls are broken out from rack position, roll about and come to rest before any other ball can be hit. Furthermore, the other player still cannot play if a ball is made on the break.
