Earl told me at a tournament in MD two years ago that he wasn't working with Mike anymore, but he was still shooting with his cues...he really liked them (I have one, too, it's pretty damn good). He liked the G10 pin on mine and wanted to try one. Who knows? I'll be curious to see, it's probably still a Gulyassy, maybe with a PHX shaft? Whatever he shoots with, it's guaranteed to be a helluva show!
He did not use the standard fiberglass coated shaft and they were re-tapered close to the way his Meucci's were.Earl played the best pool of his life with a $100 white cuetec. There was speculation that he used special shafts (SW, etc)...but no, they were your basic cuetec shafts, which at that time are NOT what they are today. They were horrible. Earl bbq'd the world during that era. All you need is a cue/shaft you like, and your tip. As Ronnie O' Sullivan says...you can get used to any cue - the TIP is everything. Earl says he uses old elkmasters that he has saved for years and years.
Earl still throwing tantrums like John Macinrow?
Or did he grow up

One of the two of you is very confidently incorrectHe did not use the standard fiberglass coated shaft and they were re-tapered close to the way his Meucci's were.
I saw his cue at tournament once. No coating and a long Meucci-esque taper. I don't think A. Fisher used the coated shafts on her C'tec either.One of the two of you is very confidently incorrect
Are you still spelling like a 3rd grader or did you finally graduate the 6th grade ?Earl still throwing tantrums like John Macinrow?

And you're no Rhodes Scholar. I've met goats that can spell better than you. What's your point? Is pool so special that none of our athletes can act out like all the main stream sport athletes in baseball, football, basketball and cornhole ? lolWell do you have anything to say about how Earl acts. He is no Willie Mosconi.

Was that the recently streamed 14.1 match where he was only a few points from winning & then raked the balls? (upset with noise from adjoining tables?)his latest tournament result: DQ for physically assaulting a fellow player. he would have been in the final stage and guaranteed money if he stayed sane for another few minutes. i don't know if that answers your questions..
Mosconi would snap at spectators during matches fwiw. He wasn’t a peach like everyone thought he was after he was basically retired.Willie Mosconi was a class act, great ambassador.
Earl can play pool, but is no Mosconi, or Scott Lee.
