this video shows you just how insane Mark J is at cue sports. He's unreal. Earl is one of the greatest pool players of all time, I think was even reigning world 9 ball champ at the time of this video, and Mark J is giving him a run for his money.
By giving him a run for his money, you mean… losing?
@@toziassmitt there’s only one word for someone like u buddy
@@hatesitrick mark Williams did as well against Earl as I would… that is to say, both Williams and I would lose
@@toziassmitt why did you bother following up with that? You really are quite unintelligent.
@@hatesitrick both me and Williams have the same pool accolades, in fact- both Williams and me have NOT beaten Earl Strickland at pool 🤣🤣🤣
What's with these commentators thinking a world champion snooker player wouldn't have cue ball control? 😂
I wish all pool matches were edited like this. Great upload, thanks
Always a pleasure watching these two players.
I haven't seen this since I watched it live in '03. Thanks for the upload!
I'd like to see Earl play Williams snooker and see if he can compete like Williams can in 9 Ball?
I think he could compete in snooker!
@@richardwalter5917 Then why have none of them tried?
not a chance in hell but he'd do better than most pool players trying it and thats coming from a pool player with access to a snooker table
Why...? Earl isn't a snooker player.... we know Earl would lose... so why would you want to see that? Doesn't make much sense.
8, 9 and 10 ball are played, watched and loved Worldwide..... Snooker not so much, That's why snooker move over to pool... but to say these high level players couldn't become proficient at snooker is naive, all the mechanics are the same... One pocket is somewhat similar to snooker.
@@2869may stop talking bollucks snooker is a different level of skill I play both and watch both a world champion snooker can beat a world champion pool player , no pool champion beats a snooker champion
I wish earl still played like this.
why do the commentators think a snooker player cant control a white ball
Ignorance
Fucking septics for you.
Maybe because the white ball in pool it's a lot heavier, but it might be ignorance too
The guy on commentary calls them Snukkers players.
Mark Williams is also so down to earth and a good laugh, just a good chap....also wondering how many pool players win at Snooker? ....quite apart from the fact that they don't even attempt pronouncing snoooooker correctly. How many pool players do you see playing well against snooker players at snooker? ...hmmmm....can't think of any.
None. There are no pool players that have excelled to the extent that Steve Davis or Ronnie or others have in pool. The last one that seriously attempted it was Mizerak.
For everyone across the pond.... myself and millions of other Americans grew up playing snooooooker at local pool halls.
Chris Melling?
Remember that snooker is almost non-existent here in states. I play 9 ball but I'd love to try snooker but theres simply no tables here to play on. It's just not a thing here
Mark Selby was a pool champion before he ever competitively played snooker
Whoa... Mark looks so young 😂
Can you please upload the semi final match between Thorsten Hohmann and Earl Strickland?
helluva position shot at 18:06
When I played being snookered was called being sewed up.
Great match!
With pro players, I'm surprised they don't make the pockets a little smaller. It would make a more interesting game.
What you are looking for is called chiness 8 ball basicly pool table with snooker style pockets. You are welcome 😀
@@saadsaad4605 I see. Australia and England have smaller pockets also.
@@catweasle5737 those are different tables.
Its painful to watch american pool,5inch pockets,that yellow in min 16 was like a mile off the pocket and it still went in. The tables in which i play are almost like snooker pockets,and u have to be precise,in these american tables its hard to miss even a decent player can run out.It sucks really
Or another possibility would be to make the table larger and the pockets smaller and add extra balls. You could call it something like snooker!
Is there any real disadvantage to playing 9 ball with snooker cue? Do they have to put any more effort into moving the cue ball around than people using a regular pool cue?
Have to hit the balls a bit harder and be more precise with where you hit the ball (smaller tip with a bigger cue ball) there's as reason snooker players like Steve Davis switched to pool cues the more they played American pool
You also have the deflection, with a small tip the ball will do a curve and won't hit when you want it to hit, and it takes a lot of practice learning how to balance the deflection and the hit, the easy way could be a carbon fiber cue, that won't deflect at all or just a little bit
Came for the snobbish snooker comments,was not disappointed
Back when he had some kind of hair
let's see earl on a snooker table now. i'm willing to bet he won't make a higher break than 20 or 30
Would love to see a russian billiard player on a pool or snooker table! The pockets for them are like 10mm total wider than the ball!
I can make a 30 odd regularly and I’m rubbish so I doubt it mate
Earl's shot at 16:12 was not a fluke. Reyes makes shots like that all the time but when Earl makes it, its a fluke?
I'm not convinced he was trying to pot it and think he was just trying to run the yellow one ball into the pink four ball and leave it roughly where the pink was, with his main focus being to get the cue ball behind the blue two ball and the other balls in between.
If you look at the margin of error he had in order to miss the pink four ball if he was going for the pot then it was next to nothing, and he probably had just as much chance of playing the yellow one ball into the pink four ball to pot that one instead, while still getting behind the blue two ball.
@@seanscanlon9067 Could be but since he shot that hard I'd guess he thought he could make it.
@@dennislee8881 You might be right, although I think he possibly might have hit it that hard to see if he could knock the 1 ball onto the 4 ball and maybe pot the 4 if lucky, but mainly to ensure he had enough speed on the cue ball to get behind the 2 ball.
It was slop when Reyes did it too. (1994 US Open final)
Maybe Earl played better with a Cuetec? 😀
It's snooker not snucker!!!
Strickland is a tin ass player !
not sure if you misspelled "tiny" or youre going for some other expression but either way it makes no sense.
@@jl2696 🤣
What?? He's a tin donkey?
Dont talk crap
Buckets for pockets
Why are Snooker players good at Pool, yet Pool players are crap at Snooker?
Snooker is focused on the perfect cue ball control and long distance pots, so when the table size decreases from 12ft to 9ft, it’s easier to operate there for a snooker player.
Pool players, they got used to the smaller table distances, aiming, pot sizes and non such a strategy or perfect technique is required there.
Everyone here just to see how Williams does in pool. Noone actually gives a something for Earl Strickland😂
He cant do shit in snooker against top pros.
ear wins 5-3 let him play mark Williams in snooker its a guaranteed 9-0 he wont even win one frame forget one frame he wont be able to even make a 40 break
Why do they make competition pool tables with bucket sized pockets?
16:09 holy sht
Be interesting to see a pool player try snooker
Complete different game. The transition is a lot harderAnd majority of them would most likely average high breaks of 50-60. So you probably wouldnt get an even match if you got a top pool player vs a top snooker player.
@@JalandharShere - I've watched Corey Duel playing Snooker attempting to qualify on the pro tour - he was awful - decent club players would beat him regularly.
16:12 Fluke of the year
You won't even hit the ball after hundred tries. So shut tf up girl
@@ruskyhrahsel7723 I'm not girl. Earl is the girl
@@zielaq87 yes you are a girl. Don't be ashamed of your gender little girl
def a fluke and def not hard to hit
Can't beat luck like that
Why is it snooker players must play pool? why can't pool players play snooker?
How can you miss?.pockets like buckets
😎
👍
These guys sound like they know nothing about mark williams haha
Why can't snooker players stick to one discipline.
Why should they? They got invited.
Because they're so good!
Earl played some crap shots between 3min and 9 min .....SORRY
How is this a sport
its a GREAT game .....you should try it , can u do it ?
