Once upon a time, way back in the 1990's, tournaments were played on green cloth. Not only that, the five ball was orange and the 4 ball was purple. They raced to 13 under a winner break format, using cues with maple shafts. Hard to believe, I know. But here it is, video proof. Johnny vs. Earl, giving us plenty of drama. Apologies to those who have already seen this, but the newcomers really should find it enjoyable.

 
i don't watch all those matches pat is putting out there, but when earl is in the title it's a sure watch. the one pocket i always watch. this match was a great one, thanks mr fleming.

my pool hall changed to blue cloth and it's much brighter and easier to see the edges of the 6/8-ball. with good lighting i don't mind green.
 
Whuuuut? I thought pool shafts were black? What are they using? Must be some secret pro tech, no wonder they shoot so good. I'd like to see them take a revo and do half the shots. Stupid cheating elite pros using special shafts. :mad:
🤣 🤣 🤣
 
Well, I did enjoy the hell out of that!

Being new to playing real pool, I was ignorant of the completive world of pool going on while I went about my other life.

Popped it on thinking I would watch a couple minutes and got hooked in for the duration.

I'm not sure Earl is the best example of what you're trying to say. He has every kind of gimmick in the world from crazy glasses to a cast on his arm headphones and so on. He was also one of the first pros playing with cuetec cues.
 
Gee even the commentating was good
“ supreme act of cowardice “
( actually don’t know if it’s in this one but that line always makes me smile)
