Earl and Meucci again..
- Thread starter elizabeth
- Start date
Maybe this alliance will be beneficial to both. I have been a Meucci dealer for some time and they could use a boost in the quality control and service performance departments. Perhaps if Earl brings them into the spotlight it will give them the incentive to achieve a higher level in both areas.
Wish yoiu the best Earl,

I remember seeing Earl at one of the B C Opens in Binghamton, NY. He was playing with a Joss cue at the time.
I would have to say in his twenties not sure which tournament #at Starchers id have to ask him and get back w/you on that...Our good friend Joe Kerr was the tournament director at that event..
ive watched earl for years and you can look at his 80's video's and some 90's video's and see a masterfull display of confidence and pocketing skills, but something happened and i dont know if it was physical or mental or just switching cues back and forth but he did develope a glitch in his form. I went almost 10 years without playing or watching pool and when i started back watching a few months back i watched earl on a few video's and live streams and i was thinking to myself ...when did he start doing that? and why is he doing that? im talking about 1 thing not all the things he wears or any gadgets! I'm talking about a flaw as i see it in his form/mechanics. Im a huge Earl fan and i tried when i started playing to imulate everything in his form/stance/stroke/style when i started playing so i pretty much reccognized something different when i seen him playing a few months back....also i know how freggin hard it would be to overcome this change even for him or anyone....i will bet no one on here can guess what it is (Earls million dollar answer too).......the answer to him dominating againso its time to do some Earl studying of video's everyone
The only way I know how to answer this question is with the truth...Earl and I started dating in 1988 and married in 1991 we divorced in 2003 due solely on my part.I know Earl and I made a great team and he was comfortable at that time only worries was practice practice.He switched from Meucci to Cuetec which at that time was a business transaction Cuetec was offering years and years of guart.salary.There is a difference in cues regardless. When u get use to winning with something and switch from wood to graphite the feel and the play changes and you have to make adjustments actually your ability has to overcome in certain areas.By no means no disregard to Cuetec.Although Earl did well for a few years with the cue the level of his play suffered..and so did his confidence.Earl won over 80 tournament titles w/ a Meucci cue so just maybe when he gets the feel back playing with it his confidence level will raise.I am so very happy to see him happy about playing again...
Actually Sherm I have this pic as well.At the open is where Meucci and Earl started talking about this arrangement.Earl ended up at Meucci after the open and he has a bright new attitude and outlook.Earl will now reside near the Meucci plant in Memphis..
Thank you I think lol~.When you a a wooden cue u have to protect it from the elements.as picky as Earl is and Bob is a great business man i believe the quality on both parts will benefit all the player and the consumer...
I sure will.and for all of those that questioned the million dollar tournament on whether Earl got paid.yes he did.......
Memphis,Tenn.
Earl started out playing w/ a Joss but won his first tournament the Dayton Open w/ a Meucci and switched to a Cuetec in early 90sI know for sure he won 80 tournaments w/ a Meucci I use to handle his Player bio and keeping it updated.He switched to Cuetec after we were married in 1991..

i always figured that any pro playing with a cutec would just have a custom Real regular wood shaft made for the butt, and use it on the down lo, so they didnt have to deal with the fiberglass crappyness, and still get payd by there sponsor....hell if i was earl i would of had meucci make me a stick that looked exacttly like a cutec

I want to Thank Everybody for their Best Wishes and kind words..It has been a rough few years for Earl.His game has suffered as well as his health.I know not everyone will wish him well and I dont have to say nice things about him because im not married to him anymore.I just want to say he is a GREAT person with abundance of talent and his biggest down fall has been himself .He told me a story about he was in the 8th grade in a math class and the teacher noticed he was doing something she asked Earl what are you doing He said "Im running out".Playing pool has been his life and when things start changing sometimes you dont know how to adjust..or to change with it.
Anyway Thank you everybody...
not in Earls case he played with the cues just like they were sold off the shelf...
