Great interview with Jayson Shaw about living with Earl

Good video.

I agree with Shaw and Earl about working out. The only reason why I go to the gym to lift all the weights and run all the miles is for pool.

I do it because I feel pool is heading towards speed pool so you have to be in good shape. Steady hand and focus while your heart is racing. Granted, I'm not a professional but the gym training is real noticeable on the pool table.

I do 2 hours sessions, 500 balls, with maybe one or two breaks. It's pretty easy. Most guys at the pool hall are more amazed of the stamina. With the new found stamina it helps me play longer.

He holds the record. His training is a huge reason.
 
Karl Boyes talks to Jayson about the circumstances that led to him sharing a 1-bedroom apartment with Earl Strickland.


funny stuff. insidepool or upstateal, don't remember which, used to film and stream some of their sparring matches back then. i hadn't seen jayson play before that. earl still had it, jayson was rough around the edges, so it was quite competitive. some bickering but it always blew over.
