Strickland trick shot video

Couple of nice and fast wing shots from Earl. I think he does them better than anyone out there, particularly for his fast pace.

I tell you what Steven, I really don't care for trick shots as we see then so much on TV. As we know they are set up and almost anyone could make the shot once it is set up correctly. HOWEVER, I don't think I have ever seen anyone make 4 or 5 balls on the fly like Earl did in this video, I think it's awesome and impressive. In fact I am going to go to my table right now and give it a shot and see how hard that is.
 
Earl "Electric"

Awesome display of shotmaking. Never seen anyone setup so quick and make these shots. Way to go Earl!

It is hard enought just to roll the ball at the right speed so you have enough time to set up and shoot...

Not to mention actually hit the OB or pocket it

Some of those got down there pretty deep before he cut them in...
 
This is the Earl i love to watch. I think the guy has the best stroke in the business.
 
Love him or hate him. You can't ignore Earl. Although, later on in life, I am learning to like and understand the Pearl more. He grew up close to me and I've had the opportunity to see him very frequently. He is likeable if you get to know him. He is just very passionate and hates, HATES to lose. Hey, I don't want anyone on my team that is a good loser. I don't mean gracious. I mean that I don't want anyone, for my cheese, that doesn't play like their life depends on it. Earl does. That's what winners do. They are passionate and perfectionists. Fu#$in' get'em Earl.

I've tried it a few times and its hard. I managed 2 but i was pretty instroke then. I once saw Ray Reardon hit the same shot 4 or 5 time on a snooker table and he would have been pushing 70 at the time.
 
Earl does the wing shots pretty well, but I must say that no one is better than Eric Yow. He does all 15 balls as quickly as Earl. Quite a sight to see.
