    The Legendary Pearl to Take On 14.1 Attempts

    Earl quitting for the day on a 140 ball run reminds me of a story from St Louis. A guy named Butch who used to run a pool hall on the Illinois side told me Bill Hendricks game in one day and ran 15 racks and unscrewed. Butch asked him if he wasn't going to finish the run. Bill said "I'll...

    Skinny or Thin Cue handles - Production cues

    Have you tried a Schon? I have an old SL-5 I no longer use due to the fact I need a wrapless cue. I'd sell it but because of the composition of the inlays I won't mail it. If someone in Missouri wants a solid old Schon I'd sell it.

    The Legendary Pearl to Take On 14.1 Attempts

    Two were on slow rolls and another was shooting over a ball when he had other options. Not sure how many days this runs but he is a favorite to run 200 if he stays at it.

    The Legendary Pearl to Take On 14.1 Attempts

    Not making excuses for him but I think it's a way of releasing frustration and getting it out of his system. Some people keep it inside.

    The Legendary Pearl to Take On 14.1 Attempts

    I put Earl in the category of guys who are not straight pool players but can run a lot of balls because the shoot straight. I noticed a few times when he raked the cue ball without trying a shot that I would have tried. One example he missed the rack on his break shot and the cue ball was...

    Earl warming up

    I watched some of it. It was an exhibition. He played one rack with a person who attended the event - 8 ball or 9 ball. Then he did some trick shots and showed some interesting shots Mosconi used to do in his exhibitions. Then signed autographs. If he played 14.1 it was after I stopped...

    Video: How To Run Rack of 14.1

    I watched your 103 where you talked through the run. I enjoy hearing your thought process. One thing I would say I don't like side pocket key balls unless the ball is close to the pocket or you have a stop shot to get on the key ball. If object ball is far from side pocket you end up...

    Cut Shots - Do you use Center of Cue Ball or Edge of Cue Ball for alignment to the Object Ball or Both

    I focus on the object ball. My brain and arm somehow figure out the rest.

    Corey using the bridge to break 🤔🤔🤔 Why do you think he's doing this?

    Corey doesn't have this figured out. He should have worked in some bogus scientific stuff and they offered to give lessons for cash or record and sell a video - breaking secrets they don't want you to know. That was far to simplistic of an answer.
