Not sure if Shane fell off HARD or Earl is in top form.

80 is a pretty good run on a 5x10 with 4.5 pockets....
...tougher than a 100 on a 9-foot

Earl has worked very hard these last couple months.
Put in a lot of serious practice hours and he's playing very well.
Congrats to him...he earned it.

Props to Shane , Earl has great respect for his game and always enjoys playing with the best.

Earl wants to be the best in the world no matter who is playing - his age is only a # and a joke. Step in the ring with the greatest EVER and you will get cut down!

Both he an Efren still handling the young guns, priceless!

I love earl but I don't think he's the one winning just about every tournament he plays in lol that would be svb

Just a bump.....it's all about Earl....:clapping::clapping::clapping:

Thanx for the great pics, Terry

Earl is still just outside the top 50 in the world per FargoRate, tied with Skyler Woodward. He can turn it on at any time.

I LOVE seeing one of us old guys do well (ok - might have a few years on Earl - but still). I really like watching SVB too, he's an amazing shot - and has a helluva future ahead of him. Earl cracks me up sometimes - kinda hard to tell when he's serious, and when he's messin with the crowd. Still - in the end:

Congrats. to "the Pearl".

Ppl need to understand, Shane is still playing ANYONE who steps up to the table....on THEIR terms, not his. When ppl play Shane on HIS terms....they ALL tend to LOSE!....LOL

Earl iirc placed second in last year's 14.1 world tournament in NYC. In fact I though he was on his way to winning when he experienced a ball skid on a very routine shot.

Yup, Strickland lost to Immonen last year. And Van Boening also has a 2nd in that event, losing to Appleton in 2014.

Shane is a great player. Obviously the most consistent top player currently in the US. However, Earl deserves a lot of credit here. Winning on a 10 footer at the age of 55 is quite impressive, exhibition or not
