it must be that they aren't good enough in pool to really make $ unless they dedicated more time to it. They would likely struggle with the break, safety play, and jump shots

Doesn't he play in local tournaments though? Is he afraid of flying?

not sure of the answer, but 6 ounces sounds quite heavy for an extension

perhaps this has been covered before, but why did the Sands tournament stop happening? I've enjoyed all of the matches from the Sands I've watched on You Tube. I really like the long race to 15 format in the finals. It would be great to see this tournament revived with similar equipment to see...

There was a stretch (around 2009-2010 I think it was) when Mika won everything in sight and he was regarded as the top player in the world

Great old match from 1992 that accu stats recently put up. Vintage Earl vs a resurgent Mizerak

I once played on a table with black cloth and found it very challenging- especially when shooting solids because there isn’t enough contrast

I think he was so distraught after the unlucky scratch he had that he was basically forfeiting out of depression/anger

I agree- that was very poor sportsmanship on the part of Nguyen. He shouldn't have shot the 9 ball in and then even if he did impulsively, he should have immediately forfeited thereafter once he thought about it for a little while.

At one time he was definitely heavier, but he has slimmed down over the years. He was muscular with low body fat- so he probably was in the range of 170-175 pounds

I’m not into extreme heavy lifting, but I’ve been into weight training for over 30 years and I think it has definitely improved my health and because I’m so used to how my body feels, it hasn’t negatively impacted my pool playing- may even help it. The exception being heavy chest workouts- I...

thanks for posting this. Definitely some helpful tips. I'm going to forward this to a close friend who struggles with his draw stroke.

Just saw on Kaci's Instagram that he broke his left arm and suffered tendon injuries in his left arm during a severe car accident. He will likely be out of action for months. I wish him a full and speedy recovery

Don’t know exact stats, but he routinely put big packages of runouts together. In one of the streams years ago I heard Tony Robles say there was a tournament in the 90s in which Earl didn’t miss a single ball he was shooting at- that’s amazing

Thanks for the update- looks like Earl faded down the stretch

how did it end up? When I just clicked on it, they have a different match up

I think they are playing to 90. Alcano is up 60-59. Looks like they aren't playing mandatory safe or push off the break

He has alternated between long and short cues over the past 13 years or so and if anything, he’s played better with the long cue

It was like he got into a time machine in that tournament- there was a lot of vintage Earl in that tournament

I hope Earl maintained his composure. I didn’t have the time to watch much of the match
