Earl Strickland & Johnny Archer pool-school review

[Flex]

Bob...Fast Larry calls it "top draw"!

Scott, I saw him demonstrate how he shoots draw shots. When I say demonstrate, he didn't just say, "Watch this!" but he showed exactly how to jack up and jab the cue ball and get the required draw. And I saw him do that center ball "top draw" thing too.

IMHO, there are times when those shots are called for, and may be the only way to shoot the shot given where the cue ball actually lies.

He is, after all, a trick shot artist, and sure can pull off some doozies.

Respectfully,

Flex

Thanks for sharing. I think many people on here, including myself, would like to have a 11x17 like that hanging on the wall in the pool room. I am hoping to get me one of those soon as well .

Peer, I am so glad that you posted that picture of you Earl and Johnny. I have been wanting to see it. I have to say that at the end of the class there was obviously the opportunity for the students to get autographs and pictures. Most students took the usual pose until it was Peers turn and he began arranging a chair and directingv the guys to stand behind him and look mean. Earl said "Ain't this guy something else?" I was sniggering as were a couple others and thinking 'what the hell is this guy trying to do?" Well by the time the pose was set and a couple of pics were taken, I think most of us who were sniggering were saying to ourselves "man I want one like that it looks like it is going to be cool".

This Is Exactly What Happened

Ok, lets not blow this out of proportion. Here is basically what happened PLEASE listen. Earl showed his students at the time the way his does things and how he does it, then Johnny showed them the way he does it. Obviously both are different styles and you take what works for you or what you feel comfortable with. Please keep this thread positive for me. If it becomes negative then it will hurt me when trying to put another together and maybe stop anyone else from getting a chance to attend a pool school. I do my best to bring things new and different here to PHX and if this turns negative it will only make an already tough job harderr to do. Thanks, and I hope you understand.

YOU ARE SPOT ON

Ah, thank you. I've never cared much for mundane things, and that also goes for run-of-the-mill photos (perhaps that's why I liked hanging out with Earl so much -- he's certainly not a mundane average person ;^) It was also cool of Rick to let me "abuse" Earl and Archer.
