Mike Dechaine giving pool one more shot

I don't think that is a problem for a lot of these posters...they have a constant hard-on for the Big E!
been like that for 20 years. if earl would have had a mental coach back then he could have won another WC or USO.
i remember the side pockets thing and the challenge match with darren etc. that was another stupid hang up. but in this US open earl played so good side pocket shots that phil yates was almost speechless. he's 60+ and can still do a sub-minute runout on a tight diamond.
Man in the mirror, and upbringing are now ''at hand''.
The internet is and has been way too hard on Mike, imo. He said some pool room counter talk that got spread due to him being a top pro. We’ve probably all done and said similar at the pool room. It’s no big deal.
I was a fan when he first came on the scene, throughout the years, and still today. I even bet on him when he played Hatch in an early TAR match.
Good luck Mike!

Yup fair statements. Having said that though, it's certainly possible that maturing and learning to better control his emotions could enable him to play his top game more consistently. I agree, he probably won't improve over his old best game, but even his old game was good enough to be competitive against anyone. Personally, I enjoyed watching his play; lots of confidence and a bit edgy.

I'm not exactly a veteran when it comes to watching, but have always been entertained watching matches or content with him in. He's got character, and not the forced, bought and paid for type we see coming out of a lot of the MR players. Shoots bloody well too.
He isn't American fool!
Put down the pipe and use your head for something other than space travel.

I'll bet on Mike versus him any day.
I just watched him running racks at turning stone. His shot making and position play it still great. His break is terrible. You can’t win with a hit it hard and hope break in todays pool world.
as far as mike it’s been 7 years maybe he’s done some growing up in those years. We all change in life as we get older. I’d love to see him make a return
Back in Earl's prime, that's the way everyone broke. Hard as you can with a hop and squatted cueball was always the goal.
The best part was Shane tapped the table to make sure it wasn’t going to fall

Not seeing the tap from Shane in that particular video ;(The best part was Shane tapped the table to make sure it wasn’t going to fall
Just curious, are you having a hard time adjusting to anything with your comeback? The changes to breaking? Ridiculously tight pockets? Level of play from the rest of the world?
Hope he dropped the cry baby attitude, but, I doubt it!Mike's FB page contains this update. Fireball is returning

I’m excited to announce that I’m slowly, but surely, getting back into playing competitive pool. The last 8 years has been an incredible journey working for one of the best companies in the world, Renewal by Andersen, but I would have regretted not giving pool one more shot. More importantly, I want to do right by America while I still have it in me!
