Rack the 9 on the spot
I personally didn't mind him jumping up on the table. However, I did have an issue with how he kicked the table a few times and then before he dismounted the table he stomped right on the rubber and the top of the rial. That's a $7,000 table. He should have more respect for that.
Earl did the same thing when he won a world championship not too long ago...?
I don't understand all the uproar about this issue (table not the cue). Think about other sports. Take NASCAR for instance. Every infield needs a new sod after every race because the winner loves to do donuts on it. It's part of the excitement of the sport. Small cost to pay for actually having fans and a TV contract.
I think Earl is a jerk.
I don't think Daz is a jerk.
You make an unfair comparison.
Jump up on the table but don't stomp on the rail.
Should he get a knife out and cut up the felt and stab the rails?
Why not get a sledge hammer out and smash the slate.
Or get a sawzall out and chop the table up into little pieces..

That would be awesome.
Don't even act like it wouldn't.
Only thing better might be pouring gas on it, setting it on fire and riding out of the arena on the back of a lion.
Unfair how? You are talking about the price of the equipment...
I am just saying I would rather see emotion after a huge win than some stoic faced robot.
A rail can be repaired just as easily as sod? Po-tay-toes, Pa-tah-toes.
Although, I agree with Justin about the sledge hammer. Maybe this will be the next case revolution. 3x6 with room for a sledge.

doesnt even have to be a lion, a Harley would do, yes a Harley would do fine.
Or how about igniting a very dry Camel
Why would it not shock me in the slightest to see a pool player do this...
St Catherines,about a hour away from Toronto.There's a tour down here called the 404 tour and when that stuff happened,everybody knew and I mean everybody.But again I'm talking about the serious players.On this site alone it was talked about on multiple threads.It might not be that worst thing to ever happen in pool
but it sure doesn't help it
You know if Earl actually read this thread... He would actually bust out a gas can and lion next time he went to an event. He might not even bother with winning the event first. He'll just ride in dump gas all over the place, laugh like a lunatic, then light the tables with his long ass cue as he rides out the door cursing up a storm...
You know you're picturing it in your head right now :rotflmao:
There's a word to describe situations like this: rad
Hey, this guy did it one or two times for fun until they made it part of their regular show.
they should smash the table up after each tournament...that should increase the tv rates

Actually Pete was not the first musician to smash their instrument.
Does anyone know who was the first in recorded history to do this during a live concert?
I'll give you one hint...it was not rock and roll..
I don't know the dates or the specifics but didn't some1 dump in a major tellevised tournament to make money with Vegas gamblers?
Mens pro pool will never get a corporate sponsor with this sort of thing happening.
2nd worse thing:the guys cannot organise a pro tour and or get on TV.

I know Jerry Lee Lewis set his piano on fire and destroyed it on stage. But that was not smashing and I consider him rock and roll. So I give up... who was the first?
Here is a screen shot of the basic Alexa numbers. You have to have a paid subscription to have all the info but it shows how AZ members age and such is very different than the internet as a whole. Not necessarily a bad thing but it demonstrates why OUR opinion of what is needed in pool is probably not in touch with the general population thinks is needed in pool. I know several kids (under 30) from my room that have posted on here and get hammered for having "weird" or "stupid" ideas about pool and what is needed. Whenever we silence those critics, we as a community alienate ourselves from the next generations vision of what is needed in our sport to survive. Just my opinion.
Charles Mingus was said to be the first to smash his $800 bass in a moment of frustration and members from the band the Animals were in the crowd that night..
Listen to this unbelievable Bari work by Ronnie Cuber...
