Yes but if he wasn't aiming for the "pro side" he would have made the shot and probably won the game. I bet the stats on making the ball and winning the game are better versus missing the ball on the "pro side" and leaving your opponent tough. It's word play really...dumb. The ONLY reason to...

I said of the bunch only Earl played at a level back then that would have been considered professional today...ie fargo in the 800's

running english not too soft.

I've been saying this all along...1 tip, 2 tips english etc is ridiculous...you will never hit the exact english...and you can never truly hit center ball...so STOP trying to figure it out and let your muscle memory take over. I never consciously place english on my cueball...I just naturally...

But not the top level...I mean come on he had one amazing 8 ball game or nobody would be talking about him...also not exactly a stellar snooker career either.

You guys need to see my other post where I explain optimum body type for optimum pool.

Dominated American pool where? In america lol? The only reason was because none of the Filipinos came to the US...At the time I'm sure their junior players could whoop seagulls butt. . Also, it took no time at all for Europe to surpass the US because the US had no coaching or any sense of...

lol

I hear a lot of talk but nobody up to the challenge...remember you only get one attempt.

Yeah but not by todays standards. They could have been even better imo. You could lower the 5'10 to 5'8 due to efren but he was the exception. This is only do to the table height as it is...if you change the height of the table then everything else will change...could start having weight...

Look at 100 meter sprinters...they are basically all built the same...ditto with hurdlers, marathon runners, high jumpers, javelin throwers etc. Pool players also have a build and style. If you don't fit the mold you will never shoot at their level. Simple as that. The best players will be...

A new paragraph should be indented. Also, 2 spaces after a period, 1 after a comma. I would explain semi colons but nobody here would get it. I am impressed that we are having a discussion on grammar on a pool forum lol.

If you were doing it right...if you did just take up the hobby 3 years ago you would be playing in the Mosconi cup. btw I like how Earls polls improved after I educated you all on how skilled he was compared to the other players of his time.

First string was Earl Yeah and how about now? Time to change or you guys will continue to get embarrassed, especially with the new players coming up...skylar??? That other dude with the 50's hairdo? please. How do you think they will do against the likes of Filler, kaci, sanchez,kazakas, gorst?

That's two paragraphs? Each one with a different subject. ??

It really is that simple. I have been studying Gorst, Shaw, and Filler. To me they represent the best of pool. Gorst for deliberate technique, Filler for sniper, and Shaw for natural. The secret to playing like these players is to actually look like these players when you are shooting. If you...

Golden era? Garbage tables, CLOTH, and players you wouldn't exactly call "technically sound". The Golden era for pool in the US has been basically Shane and Earl. Now they just can't compete with the Europeans...which brings me to my next question about the Mosconi cup...why is it the US against...

Efren took the American players to school...plain and simple.

Pocket speed!

Yeah right? I just shoot the shot...not going to start second guessing myself with this pro side pocket garbage.
