Eric...6th in the WORLD is pretty darn good, if you ask me! I saw that Andy has signed with Liquidwick Cues (they look like junk to me). Channel surfing, I ran across and watched a 30 minute infomercial last Saturday morning on the FUSE channel on these cues. Supposedly Jeanette Lee is going to switch from Escalade to Liquidwick...but that may just be a rumour.

Hey Scott - Thanks for the lesson it was a pleasure meeting you and learning from you.

I'm proud of my finish, but to be honest, I didn't get to practice much for this one. For last year's, I practiced at least 3-4x per week (and took 3rd). This year, I'm now an attorney and a preacher, so my schedule is that much more jammed. Plus, no table at home right now. So going into it I wasn't on top of my game.
To make matters worse, when I got to Russia, I had lost a contact on the plane (one of the three planes, that is) and my bags didn't arrive with me! While all the other players were on the practice tables, I 'hung out' and waited 3 days for my bags. They got there the night before the tourney began (whew!). Talk about going into an event cold! Nevertheless, I know the Lord was with me all the way. I kept my cool and fought hard. Without a doubt, it was the best tournament EVER!

Is he a strong player, apart from his obviously excellent artistic shots? I know most of the good artistic pool players can play a pretty sporty game of 9-ball or 14.1 as well, so I was just curious.
Eric, nicely done, man. I think it's really cool that I get to swap posts and basically converse with one of the best in the world. Keep up the good work, and the highly enviable time-management skills you must have as well!

You're welcome Brady! Now take that stuff we worked on and make it your own! Hope to see you again, when I'm back in Phoenix next month!

Andy is the League Operator for my APA region, and as a Div Rep I talk to him a fair bit. He told me that his game is not close to where it was because for the last eight years, all of his time is spent practicing artistic pool and not pocketing balls. He played in the Hoboken Iron Man and lost more games that he won against B/C+ players. I'm sure with a couple of weeks practice, he'd be right back at A/Open speed though.
At any APA tournament, or just on a regular weekly night, he happily gives his time to do some trick shots, and spends time teaching some of the players. Tomorrow is the APA Captain's Tournament for his region, and I'm sure it will be no different. Definitely one of the good guys.
Yeah buddy. When are you going to be back this way, Jeff?
Andrew, the pleasure is mine.
Check out a video of me in Russia (3 shots) doing a short exhibition for the tv. http://www.ericyow.com/videos/YowinRussia.wmv

Very impressive!!! Good luck going forward.
I'd start a new thread for this but I don't want people to think I'm too big of a ham. (Though I truly am.)
I made the paper in Clarksville again! Woohoo - http://www.theleafchronicle.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071217/COMMUNITY/712170301
Praise HIM!
