What I don't get, is why hasn't someone at Billiards Digest, or anyone else in the billiards press, contacted the Ho people to see if this is legit? If not, end of story.

Yeah. $150 million for what? There is no way the IPT is worth that kind of money (at least at this point). It is an organization that cannot even afford to pay its players their winnings (or the refs their salaries)!

I read a quote from Earl in Billiards Digest a couple years ago saying that "the doctors" have him on "medication." It sounded like he went to a family physician and was put on Prozac or the like. Judging from the results, I don't think he got the right diagnosis and needs to see a mental...

In the last few years at the US Open, he starts his matches with the crowd rooting for him big time. The guy has won 5 Opens and loads of people would love to see a sixth -- me included. But all he talks about is how everyone is against him. I've seen him pick fights with people who were...

You are right. I didn't say that was the only time. Earl has had many xenophobic outbursts over the years. I'm just saying that was the first time I saw him engage in such a thing. He has gotten worse and worse to the point that now he is unwatchable IMHO. I did watch his match with CJ at...

DD is illiterate?? Huh? Hopkins is the one who is illiterate (and boring)! All he ever says is "I think I can go out on a limb here and say he's going to get out" and "The cueball is froze to the rail." How about "frozen" Allen?? Sheesh! And that's just one example. And I never even watch...

Earl vs. Efren in the 1997 US Open Finals Then there was the 1997 tournament finals -- Earl vs. Efren again. This was Efren's fourth straight appearance in the finals (a pretty amazing feat in and of itself). Anyway, just before the match, Earl was out showing off for the crowd. He was...

Earl vs. Efren at 1995 US Open This thread reminded me of a bizarre match I saw at the Open in 1995. This was back when they used to hold it at the Holiday Inn. The match started just before midnight on Friday and there must have been 500 people jammed around that one table. They were...

DiLiberto vs. Incardona in the Booth Oh yeah? Then you haven't seen the Strickland vs. Ervolino straight pool match from Grady's Maine Event back in 1995. This is one of my favorite Accu-Stats tapes for the following reasons: 1) Strickland playing straight pool for the first time in a...

It's not gobbledygook (although I can see how you might read it that way). What this is really saying is that you can use the ideas in the book to learn how to control your body better during pool shots (or during any other physical motion). Believe me, using the ideas in PSM can make a world...

What do you mean? The entire book is about the physical part of the game. As the author says "The mental game is 90% physical." PSM is about how your brain works to control your body.

I purchased some photographs from Diana Hoppe at the 2003 US Open and would like to buy some more. However, I lost the business card she gave me. Does anyone have her contact info?
