My FAVORITE pool commentator.

[D_Lewis]

I picked Jim Wych, really nice guy every time Ive ever talked with him.

I also like Jay in the booth.

Who is the english or scottish guy that did some commentary for the world pool matches on ESPN....He had lots of ENERGY in his commentary.

Sounds like JoeyA had a second agenda with this post, right, `have words, will travel`? :sorry::boring2:

Commentators

I like Jay, Jimmy, and Kim Davenport.

I think Wych is the best pure announcer, but DiLiberto or Billy are the most knowledgeable. Grady, while I enjoy his commentating, frequently misses on how a player is going to play a rack. It is comical. (at least the matches I have seen.) With that said, I enjoy Grady's commentating because he is old school and still has great stories to tell. He is a guy that has been there and done that.

I couldn't find the Jim Wysch quotes thread but I just heard a good one.

"Corey couldn't be more disappointed than if you told him he had to take a bath with his Grandmother."

Nick Varner

Is one of the best commentators and one of the best players.

 

[Roy Steffensen]

I think Jeremy Jones commentary during the one-pocket in Galveston is the best I've heard

 

[pulzcul]

Missing one of the best on your list. Mark Wilson

 

[Blackjack]

My favorite is Danny Barouty .

Yes, my bad. I've heard Mark commentate just one time and he was very good.

Sure, sure, but it takes talent to make someone look THAT good. He must have had a talented co-commentator. But seriously, Jeremy is one of the best I have ever done commentary with.

This thread is pretty old but it's still got legs. Roll on. Maybe the powers that be will notice some of the preferences.

One of the things I would like for some of you to do is to EXPLAIN why you like a particular commentator and how he is different from others.

Thanks,
JoeyA

Vin Scully. Followed closely by Dawn "never make mistakes" Hopkins.

If your question hasn't already been answered. Sid Wadell is who I think you are thinking of.

One Pocket- Beard, Grady, Billy I

Nine Ball-Buddy, BI, Grady or Varner

14.1: Grady, DD, John Schmidt

There are a ton of guys who do an excellent job like Wilson, Dave Maddux, Jeff Carter,etc...but I still prefer the picks above.

Most of the streamers have had cool commentators...Fast Lenny does a good job as well on the mic.

Nothing feels more like real pool to me than early Accu-Stats with Grady and Billy with guests like the Beard or Buddy.
