    1:50 ‘tremendously difficult’?? On a snooker table yes - for a snooker pro on a pool table it’s like chucking a ball in a bucket 😂

    Hey, this is a great compilation! Seems like I'm missing out on UK pool coverage.
    I need more Mark Williams playing UK pool in my life, with commentary! What other channels should I be watching?

      Sure? You got an ego there mate. You can't handle the fact that you're shit at snooker so you pretend that pool is a crap game to make yourself feel superior - when you'd be shit at pool too.

      @@johnp515 When they are able to play both we call them 'snooker players'. Rare exceptions like Chris Melling who had a snooker tour card and decided to switch focus to pool. Why would anyone on the snooker tour not just play snooker when the money is better than pool? Maybe some will choose Chinese 8-ball instead since the money is comparable.

    Pot 8 balls in a 3 foot x 6 foot table and pool players think they are great. Snooker players pot 36 balls in sequence over a 6 foot x 12 ft table. You can fit 4 pool tables on a snooker table.

      Think the standard size is 7ft in comp but yeah I think it’s obvious snooker is harder … I think the patterns that pool players know are the thing that give them an advantage at the very very top level of the game ..

    01:26 Professional Snooker player plays a slight swerve to deviate thr ball about 2mm, and the commentary team say " he's bending it, incredible, what a shot that is!!"... and that, ladies is gentleman why it's best to put the commentary on mute when watching Ultimate Pool!!

    • @heyySandmann
      @heyySandmann 5 місяців тому +15

      It's not only the swerve, it's the pacing in combination with the short range swerve to hold position for the black ball. Slow swerves on a short shot are not easy. You don't play pool if you can't see why its a nice shot. Best shot ever? No, but a great shot none the less.
      Ultimate pool only uses pro's or ex-pros for their commentary. I wish that was the standard for all sports. Ultimate pool has some of the best commentary and frequently has players in the tournament in the commentary box while they are not playing their matches (such as Chiss Melling, Declan Brennan, Mick Hill, etc).
      Not sure what the fuck you're on about.

    Fairly entertaining, but not a good look for pool when you can win a frame by sheer luck.If I played 100 snooker frames against Mark Williams, I would lose 100. If I played 100 pool frames against whoever the top pool guy is, I'd probably win 10

      Compared to snooker it is. But the best pool players will generally beat the best snooker players at pool. Snooker would be a walkover for the snooker players.
