Hall of famer or not, I cant stand Danny D's Commentary.

OOps I thought he was, I stand corrected. ( on the hall of fame part.)
You guys are brutal. I think he is one of the better commentators, especially in the tactical games such as one pocket and bank pool.
I think what he is referring to is the fact that Danny talks nonstop about what he thinks the player will do/should do and is only right about 15% of the time.... He is usually in disagreeance with the co-commentator, who is usually correct.
Does this strike the head anywhere close?

Square on it.
I enjoy his commentary. I like his sense of humour. That said with all the stuff you can do with DVD's these days I would be happy if you had the option to watch the match with out commentary. I prefer to just watch the match and enjoy the ambience of the crowd, the clicking of the balls, the sound of balls falling into pockets. I would also rather hear what the players are saying as well.

The age is getting to Danny. If you watch some of his commentating from just a few years ago, when he could see which ball was which, he was right quite often and there are some gems of quotes that are stuck in my head from him, that pertain to pool.
Who are the other commentators that you would prefer over Danny DiLiberto? Because he still remains one of my favorites (from the dozens of matches from years ago that I've watched).
Jim Mataya is by far my favorite...
I really like Danny and his commentating, always have... I doubt his shot patterns are wrong. Its kinda hard to miss a ball from that glass box.

My guess is that they were able to get the best deal with Danny. He also may be very reliable. IMO Grady Mathews and Buddy Hall are both more insightful, and also more entertaining as comentators.

It don't get much better than the Double "J" consisting, Jay Helfert and Jerry Forsyth.
Both provide EXCELLENT commentary, are professional in their demeanor, with each offering a different insight derived from their backgrounds.
Plus, I like Jay's interpretation of various table maneuvers, and Jerry's Southern drawl is like sweet music to my ears. IMHO, the two of them complement the commentary process as a whole.
