I've watched Eckert play many times. I do not know anything about Lackner other than what it says on the flyer above. Any background on him?

Andre Lackner is one of the top players in Germany, won a medal in 8ball,9ball, 10ball and the title in Straight Pool in this year's German Championships. Ranked 5th place in the World Tournament of 14.1 in New York in 2014. Awesome player and a fine young gentleman, too!

I suspect we will be seeing Mr Lackner on the Mosconi Cup eventually. Great young player.

Thanks for posting. I don't want to be Debby Downer here, but it is a little unfortunate that the camera was overexposing the light on the table. The balls were washed out. I don't know if they were using a "spotlight" setting on the camera, but maybe they could have stopped down the aperture manually to get better definition on the table.

Dan, no need to apologize for giving valuable feedback. Actually, this was our first live stream ever and we didn't wanna spend a s**tton of money here Well, and this is basically all you get with a webcam for 80 bucks... And I didn't set exposure lower because I also wanted a little light next to the table. Next time I'm gonna try tweaking the settings, maybe we can improve that. And if we really stick with doing live streams, we'll get better equipment.

In any case, still an excellent job!
