  Good commentary. It's nice to have some commentators that actually know what they're talking about and obviously these gentlemen do. I find it interesting that straight pool is neither SVB's, or Orcollo's best game, yet they made the U.S. Open finals. Orcollo shot a great match.

  What a pleasure to listen to a pair of moderators with superbly matched velvet voices, calm, intelligent commentary...and just a perfect amount of talk!  None of the other streamers rise to your excellence.

  I’d be so pissed if I hit the banner from a sponsor with the back of my cue like Shane did on the opening shot of the match and have it make you miss a tough shot 🤦‍♂️

  Excellent commentary... learned a lot listening to these guys.  They stick to the action at hand.  Most commentary on these types of videos is unfocused; full of unnecessary chattering; and at worst distracting.  The attention of these announcers to the shot by shot does credit to the skill of these players. Thanks!

  High risk low reward shots taken by both players. Acrobatic trick shot straight pool, pound the shots and see how far you can get the cue ball to run and move as many balls as possible.  Is this the new way of shooting straight pool.  I used to be able to call the shots but not in this match. The shot selections are a mystery to me. These guys are 9 or 10 - Ball shooters, they like running and chasing the cue around the table.

  Shane you are strangling your stroke.  You are trying to be too slick or smooth when there is no need.  Just like when you play one ball.  Try shortening up your back stroke when shooting soft or rolling.  To keep your cue on line with a good follow through with a long back stroke is asking for trouble.

  Shane this not your game or you need to practice patterns and learn to roll, throw and kill the cue in tight spaces without banging the balls around..  Straight pool is a finesse game not power.  You look lost, a deer in the headlights. That shot before turning the table over to Dennis at 121 was a really bad shot selection that you didn't need to make, unbelievable bad rookie choice.  Efren has the game for straight pool but you're a banger.
