I’ve watched Earl shoot a lot and he always reminds me of a savant with ADHD. He shoots very quickly with almost a sense of impatience, like he thinks so quickly that his body is fighting to keep up. He doesn’t take many pre-strokes, shoots fast but always so accurate with great position, and he doesn’t seem to rethink his original approach once he’s committed. It’s both amazingly entertaining and slightly stressful to watch him work around the table.

That was one of the greatest jokes ever that Danny said about Earl talking two guys , one was deaf and the other one didn't understand english 🤭

These commentators need to stop making bad assumptions and start focusing on what the player can do, not what YOU would do. They are professionals for a reason.

"How about if he doesn't make the ball" I literally spit out my beer laughing 😂🤣

The only thing that would make this better is audio of the players talking.

Eight ball matches with Django and Efren are always interesting. Growing up it's all anyone ever played and I got sick of it. Discovering 9 & 10 ball and One Pocket was a joyous breath of fresh air

Great match! Real cool to see them interacting and enjoying themselves

Wondering if the old man announcing is watching the same match as everybody else

Love the Abbot and Costello commentary. These two bounce off each other with the most inane comments. Makes you wonder if they are watching what we are.

I just love watching Earl in stroke....nothing better!!

Now that I’m really into pool it’s fun to look forward to these yearly events. I hope they continue to do this. Along with the derby city classic.

The truth is any player against the pearl is likely to loose even efren himself knows

Beautiful match and two of my all time favourites. Thank you Pat and the Accustats team. This channel is a pool lovers dream. Also love the commentary.
