This just popped up on my feed. I wish Bergman would travel again. He's just so good (loved watching him on Bonus Ball). Also, I didn't know of Scott Rabon before this video. We need to get him to do more commentary. He's great.
Didn't realize Mark was doing all that...good on ya, we really do need a pool school any more to compete with, as an example, the Chinese who take teaching and coaching their prodigies VERY seriously. And the caliber of players coming out of China demonstrate what that thinking produces...they seem to be the 'new Filipinos, so to speak, taking US and international pool by storm. BTW, VERY good commentating, MHO. I'm not always very impressed with push outs, but that strategy by Pagulayan @1:22 was very clever. Move a blocker that would almost certainly preclude continuation to the two, and leave a pretty difficult rail frozen kick that you think you are decent for, but the other guy probably won't want to attempt. Push strategies usually aren't nearly that interesting. I thought it was very clever and well thought out, and most importantly, it WORKED. Betting there were a lot of odds calculations going on in his head (maybe in the background ;-) ) for that choice. I would NEVER have thought of that.
is justin here using a meucci pro shaft? cant get to read the name near the joint but looks like the meucci. He is not wearing a sponsor badge or anything, only the lomax cue one so idk
@@joeconnerson9773 he now does. Nowadays he uses a lomax custom cue and an OB phoenix kielwood shaft. But this is an old vid, 2017 and the lettering on the shaft looks a lot like the ones on the meucci pro shaft.
Can someone answer me.. Why doesn't pagulayan have a stroke? its like he immediately shoots with no back stroke if u know what i mean, its like almost exactly like his practice strokes, he goes back only 1 or 2 inches then accelerate to the front and also only for 1 or 2 inches, like no stroke what so ever. What do they call this, is it fair to call him as a good player who doesn' thave a good stroke?
Alex is compact and accurate guy is a champion in almost every discipline I think his stroke is pretty good 😂 , Alex isn’t a good player he is a legend .
That’s all you need if you accelerate fast enough .It’s not how far you go back it’s how you get through the cue ball..It’s not a golf club where you are hitting it 399 yards.Also at times he will produce a full swing if needed.He is a nine ball world champion.He’s also won for many years .I think it’s 2002 he won the championship.He’s also a great one pocket player ,and regarded as one of the best Christ in our sport.
This was when mic knowledge hit the skids with lip smacks and p-pops galore. The mics of the 50's and 60's on analog equipment were actually better. Then screens and muffs, "dead rabbits", had to be instituted and then equalizers and computer editing.
well well and i thought it was a pool game. just goes to show that three people can be together outside at night and one person can see a bat, another sees a shooting star, and another calls it a ufo.

Really great match. Such good shooting. And a delight listening to Scott in the booth. He did a great job.
diathekedriven who is the announcer Scott with mark Wilson?
Scott is with Mark Wilson.
Accu-Stats Video Productions I know but Scott who?
he didn’t say much about himself, seemed like a decent player and familiar with bergman. shuman introduced him as scott raymond.
Great vid, thanks Accu-Stats!
Glad you liked it!
Scott Rabon one of the very best commentators especially one pocket I love it when he’s in the booth
I agree.
I would love a Jeremy Jones and Scott Rabon broadcast.
Wow the iceberg vs the lion...I love both these guys!!
I don’t know who Scott Rabon is but he is spot-on with his commentary.
Great match. Much better commentating.
I’ve taught bergman everything he knows
Does he know? 🙂

@1:22 ???
too bad bergman doesnt travel and compete on tour, he's a monster. look up the the video of him running an 18 PACK on a 7ft diamond
Justin is as good as any player in the field today,
I see at least 3 old school guys that would come around the local pool halls in stl and stake the people with the nutz lol
@108:55 the shot clock went to 00... I am guessing if you are down on the shot you are ok??
Correct.
is justin here using a meucci pro shaft? cant get to read the name near the joint but looks like the meucci. He is not wearing a sponsor badge or anything, only the lomax cue one so idk
Pretty sure he uses OB cue. That's atleast what my friend who shot against him said.

Bergmans cueball is crazy good
Was looking forward to this match until Mark opened his mouth
I’d take Justin in a race to 100 bs anybody! So pure
Mark can't go 5 minutes without talking about fundamentals
Can someone answer me..

Different strokes for different folks. It is hard to argue with a player of his caliber.
Have you ever seen Van Boening technique?? Moving the tip up and down?? But makes it work for him.
Alex is compact and accurate guy is a champion in almost every discipline I think his stroke is pretty good 😂 , Alex isn’t a good player he is a legend .
That’s from playing on the Filipino rock tables with no real cloth lol

Only in pool do the commentators interject themselves into the game. I could give two shits what you would’ve done…
22:34 with a what like that?
I stayed watching just to find out. And I can't stop 😂!

@@licoricesaffron : Well, it was mostly about the announcer 's mic. The commentator's were ok.
free pool AND audio engineering lessons! doesn't get much better!
@@wombra8314 : Aim to please. SE 2200
Bergman’s not from stl lol
True.
2 shot roll out separated the men from the boys
