Cuetec Fires Strickland

[skogstokig]

When a guy puts packs on everybody its hard to ignore. Like you say, he was the best of the best, he made 9 ball a joke. A true artist

well said

Earl like so many incredible people can be outrageous but his accomplishments are just as outrageous,

There was a time when he was the best of the best and that cannot be argued by anyone .,

Cuetec sucks. Earl is right about that. 100%

A few years ago when I was down in Owensboro both me and Nick Varner had the same impression of a Cuetec cue. That being as follows:

"The only good thing about a Cuetec is that you can put a string on it and go fishing with it the next day....."

I first got into watching 9 ball because the snooker player Steve Davis started playing. He was the main person I supported back then, but instantly fell in love with Reyes, both because of the player he was, but his mannerisms just gave me the vibe he'd be a lovely guy. For me Strickland was the guy I hated that I wanted to lose. Was good having someone to cheer against. When I was younger, just thought he was an arsehole. Now I'm older, I more feel sorry for him and feel he probably has mental health issues. Bit of a flawed genius, maybe cut from a similar cloth to Ronnie in snooker.

From the European point of view was good having a "baddie" to cheer against at the Mosconi, definitely made me more invested in it.

Earl knew he was playing with a sht cue and still won ,in my opinion the best 9 ball player made the game look so easy. (THE PEARL)

Then again, how much did Cuetec pay Earl back in the day to play with their cue?

That may have been true then, but I think they make a fine cue (for a production cue) now.

The number I recall was $100,000 per year. I believe Earl got a lot of shafts to choose from.

Earl should have managed his funds better back than, but hey nobody's perfect.

Why do you assume he didn't?

Why do you assume he didn't?

I recall seeing interviews in which he admitted that he didn't manage his money well at that time

 

[DrCue'sProtege]

Correct me if I am wrong but back in the day wasn't Earl's wife an attorney?

I seem to recall she was a hot blonde.
