Best and worst commentator??

I don't care as long as they don't refer to the ball's color I'm fine.
Just call the ball by the numbers instead of saying stuff like "I don't know if he can see the green six ball".
That's a Matchroom thing.
Accu-Stats always did a fantastic job on their videos.
That and please drop ALL slow motion replays.
There's no need for that. Matchroom and those Predator events are just nuts to watch.
Accu-Stats once again did it right: match after match basically no slow motion repeats, and if it happened it's was AFTER the game.
Not after every dang shot.
I enjoy the commentary teams that Matchroom employs for the Snooker events. Stephen Hendry is a favorite with them but all are good with the timing of the insights and viewpoints they insert. Lots of Pool commentators would do well to follow their examples.
Billy Incardona and almost anybody make for good commentary. He and Danny Deliberto would be my favorite team.

I thik Earl is by far the worst. He can't stop talking continuously. He never lets the game play itself out even for a moment. He can't share the booth with anyone because they might disagree with him. If you go to the finals of "The Big One" when Tony and Dennis played the One Pocket match, John Henderson and George Michaels called that final day. Go to the final game and listen in and you'll enjoy how they called that last game.
That’s a bit harsh on Rollie. He never claimed to be a commentator and was just trying to get a YouTube channel going He was invited by Matchroom just for fun.
It’s a shame he has stopped doing his videos, they were fun to watch and he visited a few good people, Jen spot on the wall Barretta, Ralph etc
I very much enjoy his Youtube videos and still watch them occasionally.
He al
ways sounds like he has a mouth full of food, constantly lip smacking.
Johnny Archer sure isn’t holding back when commentating these days:

Johnny real upset with someone named D.D🤣 He’s going to let it rip on that person if they don’t stop. I highly suggest that person stops. You do not want to get on Johnny’s bad side. On second...

Worst commentators are some mid level players that think they know better than pros. Often they don´t even talk about game but all other random stuff.
POV was one where they had streams like that often.
Best commentator is :
It is not pool(he is one of best 3-cushion players ever) but I think many pool commentators should listen man and take notes from master.

just humble, on point commentating. Giving also his opinions and some gems to add knowledge for viewers. 11/10It is not pool(he is one of best 3-cushion players ever) but I think many pool commentators should listen man and take notes from master.
Just finished watching the upstate al turning stone final commentary. Appreciate that it is free but wow is it boring listening to them dand then in the final frame they screw up the video with adverts over playing.
I guess it is pretty much in line with the tournament itself , slug racks, and then how many extra hours added checking and redoing racks

It’s funny that you say it’s a Matchroom thing. The first time I heard someone say the color of the ball had to be the late 1980’s. Mataya. I liked the way it sounded, so I often say the color of the ball because of Mataya’s influence. That’s long before Matchroom.

Also pathetic was up state Al and crew last night falling all over themselves commenting on how good looking this girl was when she entered the booth and completely forgetting the match they were supposed to commenting on. I mean who cares how good looking she was when nobody except them could even see her anyway.. Like I said, pathetic!
exactly, and while some of us pool nuts may find it too basic it's likely a very good practice for whenever the general sports fan turns on and tries to watch a 9-ball match. iow, it's probably doing the sport a service that they say the colors now and then
Which brings up a great point. I always try to consider commentary for those that don’t know everything already. I think one of the greatest compliments I ever received was from an AZer who said that his wife, who doesn’t play or watch pool, sat and listened (because she actually enjoyed the commentary). I want to say it was one of the Derby 14.1 Challenges, and I think I was alone in the booth. I absolutely was saying the colors of the numbered balls!
In snooker I can be sure which ball is which color. Pool with so many different ball sets and color schemes can leave even the commentators stumped on "What Ball is that?"
which leads to the question of how "slow" should the new viewer be expected to be. is the tiny row of 9 balls at the bottom of the screen, along with the occasional color mention, enough in our age of short attention span? i've floated the idea that the next ball in order could be highlighted briefly, on the table. just a short flash in the color of that ball.
it wouldn't improve my personal viewing experience, it may even lessen it, but the experience of the relative small number of pool nuts should be weighed against the potential larger number of general sport fans. same thing with the telestrator, the fact that i don't particularly like it doesn't mean that it doesn't make for a good sports show. other sports make ample use of graphics and stats.
