Ultimate Pool USA - Arizona

[Scrunge19]

I watched some of the Bergman/Hogue match earlier today and woo boy was the camera work bad. I know that’s a pretty common complaint people make in any pool stream but this was some of the worst I’ve seen.

For example: Bergman is on the hill and enough time has elapsed in the match that they’re on a 15 second shot clock. He’s running out for the match when he overruns position and hooks himself on the second to last ball. He had already used his extension and now has 15 seconds to shoot a very difficult shot on his other ball while still also having to play position on his first option. And what does the viewer see during this pivotal point of the match? A close up of his shirt/chest. The camera doesn’t reposition in time for us to get to see that shot and the position he gets on his last stripe. And oh by the way we don’t get to see him make that last stripe and the 8 ball either. Perfect.

Bergman dogs the 8 and Eric gets out. Banks the last ball What a match!

That was sick. Tried to get on that 13 and couldn’t make it, but back cut bank to set up the W.

Yes and he's in the finals.
Go back and watch the last rack, it's a good one

Did Brunswick add a measles ball to their Centennial set, or is that from an Aramith brand?

Aramith blue symbol

Are there still people claiming 8 ball on a 7ft is harder than a 9ft after watching 10 min of this? Jeeze....

Finals in a couple minutes. Sam Henderson vs EasyE.

the camera work isn’t great, but remember
in a world of eight billion people
there is only one pat fleming

Tough one. Sam played a great tournament.

 

[iusedtoberich]

My first time watching. I liked it. A million times better than boring ass normal 8 ball.

Tough one. Sam played a great tournament.

Sam did play great. Loved that short side super thin cut on the 3 with perfect speed to lay on the 5 in the last rack. Gotta like that young man.

I couldn’t help but root for Easy though. One of our own and cuts a genuinely affable figure. Watching him play and listening to him speak, 100% class. Nice work Easy-E!

Few rough rolls in the final, almost had 2 golden breaks. Then the too smooth stroke on the seven ball early led to an overdraw and rack loss.

For those who didn’t see it, the match vs Nick Deleon in the afternoon session was great too. It came right down to the wire with Easy shooting in the hill-hill money ball as time expired.

Well said. Such a fun sweat in all 3 matches.
