OMG What is that?

Just wrap a string around the back of your neck, run it down behind the front of your shirt, and then tie it to your balls.

That'll keep you from jumping up, and you won't look like a weirdo.

Unless, of course, you do jump up.

Leave it to Earl. What the heck is he wearing??? I tried to look around in AZB before making this thread and I didn't see anything relevant, but if it is a dup just remove this Thanks!!!

This match is from January 2014 a 9 ball match between Earl Strickland and Efren Reyes. The Battle of legends at Steinway Billiards. Looks like a nice enough place, although I can't imagine being the folks in the table directly in front of the camear. YIKES.

Totally off subject, but I would pay top dollar NOT to EVER have commentary.

Just the sounds of the room and the game would be great. (I hate having to watch every match on mute)

I think he also has a tennis grip tape wrapped on his cue. Cool

You are almost right, it's actually a tennis racket handle extension on the butt of the cue. Up close it's pretty hysterical to look at, but when he is warming up, you have to stand in awe at what he can do with that Frankenstein cue.

It's just Earl being Earl. The man is a genius in many ways, undeniable IMO. I egged him on to play golf. So just he and I played as a twosome. He insisted we play from the tips (@ 7300 yards on a seriously difficult, world class course).

I've told this tale before, forgive my repeat. Anyway, he shows up, plants his ass down on the passenger side of our cart, and plops 2 Walmart-ish bags at his feet. WTF?

In those 2 bags, I slowly found out... 1st hole, he pulled out softball gloves from a bag IIRC. 2nd hole, he tossed those and pulled boxing sparring gloves.

3rd hole the velcro weights came out. Long story shorter... By the end of the front 9, he had so many velcro weights on his back leg, he was limping down the fairway. All the while he would exclaim to me, in physics detail, why he was doing/wearing everything. Weights on the right bicep when he teed off. Weights on the front leg when he chipped.

It was quite a memorable round. We were gambling and the savant, on the 452 yard uphill, handicap #1 hole, sank a 6 foot breaking putt from Egypt at double or nothing. I hate you Earl!
