Lessons from Earl Strickland

Custom Cues Since 1986

Earl is one of the best teachers I have ever had the pleasure of working with.
He has improved my break by at least 5 MPH and I am squatting my cue ball down in the middle of the table at least 40% of the time. I used to have a miserable break and no power, probably the main reason I quit the tour. He knows about shots and strategies more than anyone I have talked to lately that is still alive.
I have taught BCA instructors at my shop and I feel like I have a very good game in pool and I can speak a language that people can understand. Earl has so much to offer as far as any aspect of the game weather it be 9 ball, one pocket, strait pool, or just practice. He is teaching out of my shop in Greenville S. C. and I just wanted to share that with everyone. I am just so excited to squat my rock in a 9 ball break for the first time in 35 years I had to tell somebody.
 
thanks for the ad, Mike! I wish I was anywhere close to your location... Earl is one of the game's greatest and learning even 1/100 of his knowledge would drive my game up by dozens
 
Mike,
Are you and Earl gonna make it to the Viking Tourney in Athens this weekend?

Southpaw
 
Tell Earl i have his Joss cue from 1986 w/2-shafts. He told me that he had won a tourney with the cue.
Now that he has parted with cuetec i was wondering if he wanted it back?
Just wondering and Greenville is a great place to be. It is where i was born=)
 
reword that a little

Considering that's what my local golf pro (who hasn't won sh** in his entire life) charges for golf lessons, that's the biggest deal on earth - I think.

Have Earl teach you the proper way of applying chalk to your ferrule...............Just kidding, Mike. That's just about the only thing Earl does wrong on a pool table and even so he hardly ever miscues. Lot of knowledge you can squeeze out of that brain.
 
Did You Mean Tip, Not Ferrule? (No Harm Meant). I dont' think I ever seen anyone apply chalk to a ferrule and not a tip! It's a joke-Not an Insult! Have a great day!

Earl chalks his ferrule more than the tip sometimes. :D

Thanks, Tanner and no offence taken, Dave. Check Earl's ferrule next time you see him play. It was a joke.
