Hell, I like just gettin the 5 out as well against just about anyone. I would say this because I do get the opportunity to play against Earl regularly in competition. I have beat Earl a few times getting a 8 - 5 race and the 7ball. And when he has won, its hill-hill. The wild 7 is a tough spot...

Sir, when your playing someone at that level, it is a race to the one ball and giving the breaks & BIH with it, is financial suicide. Like I said, I will humbly take that weight from anyone in the world, and go broke if I had to. I win that everytime. If you give up the breaks, you gave up...

I hope so. I haven't been able to hang with him in a while because he moved just south of me in Florida. I am glad to hear his game is doing that well.

I talked to Earl saturday night, he doesn't have any matches coming up, but there are a few that are in the works.

Shane is an awesome player! Not saying he is a bad pro. But that is my point, who is a low level pro ? I have seen not-as-well-known pro's like Rob Saez play just as good as Earl can. Who is a bottom-Tier pro so to say ? The only difference there could be is consistency, break ability, and...

Totally agree !! Just for the record, get ahold of anyone that will give me that, and I will take that weight. Anyone !!!

That doesn't make any sense to me. A top pro, Earl or Efren or Bustamante, versus a lower end Pro ? Who is a lower end Pro ? SVB isn't as good as any one of them, but they certainly cant give him that weight. Rob Saez ( another good friend of mine) isn't as consistent as these guys, but they...

I couldn't get Earl to give me that, ever. I have never been able to get anyone to come close to that weight. Most weight I have ever gotten was the last 3 from a fairly strong player for $1000 set, race to 7. I kept the first one close(7-5) to promote the second set, the second wasn't even fair...

Its known to me but i'll say its an opinion, I have watched plenty of big money games. Getting weight is a huge mental thing for some, it gets in their own heads and says one thing, " I dont play good enough ". Subsequently, they play lessor in situations because mentally they are not focused to...

i have taught many young kids, after you get the stance and a solid bridge in place, we should now move toward the stroke and contacting the cue ball. I would suggest getting with one of these instructors in the Ask The Instructor section further down the main page and ask them for some good...

Well I can say that if you are going to give this weight to anyone, you shouldn't be worried of their ability to make combos at all..

I didn't realize it was ball in hand after the break as well but its just a variation of it. Either way, its stupid weight to give anyone that can breathe air and hold a stick.

Well, it is known though that you can take a great pool player that has only played sets for $100 or $200 and bet him $1000 or $5000 and when the game starts getting tough they crumble horribly...

well if 75% of the people on AZ are players of that caliber to lose with that spot, then my skill level is certainly in the minority on this forum, and I wouldn't have thought that.

I totally agree. I know a lock-artist around the orlando area that is good at doing this. He played a guy that was 4-5 balls better than him race to 7 getting the 6 ball for $1000and I saw this player fall apart because of the money. Dogged straight in balls, stop shot outs... made me wanna...

Oh sorry lol .... I didn't know you were talking "B" players. I would certainly be a lock against any player out there ! I would sit anyone in the world down getting the breaks, ball in hand after and the 5 out ... its simply the NUTS lol

I would seriously let you back Earl Strickland against me with that bet. I would love to have that game. I dont care how much we are betting on that, i'll take it ...

Wow, I thought there would be one seasoned gambler that would know the name of that amount of weight... That is called : Orange Crush ! And if you are even close to a decent player you will beat just about any pro with that. Like I have mentioned on here a few times, Earl now plays with me a...

well I can tell you, unless otherwise wrote in that specific APA Franchise LO's By-Laws, it is the players call on what was a foul , unless a referee or agreed upon party is asked to watch the hit. My dad and I owned a franchise in Florida for some time.

As far as my game goes, rarely do I NEED to use english to make a shot. And to be said even better, I only NEED it to keep from scratching on certain shots that may be left. English is really for positioning the cue ball. Using it for more than that makes it become a reliability in your game and...
