    Met this legend twice. He couldn't have been friendlier and more approachable. Saw him one of those times at Sandcastle in NJ for the battle of the legends with Sigel. I walked in while he was informally warming up. He stopped what he was doing and came over to me & my kid and made a big deal over such a young kid being interested in pool. My son ate it up. True gentleman.

    Wow. Thanks. Great vid. 480 ..respect. Is he the all around goat? In the conversation, for sure. He is the best pure shot maker that ever lived. Will say that. Earl was criticized by 14.1 snobs but he beat most of their heros. Now we see the mind of Earl. Navigating racks with ease and precision. And he racks his own balls. Humble man. Not dissapointed. Love Earl. My pool hero.

    Been playing UK/EU, American 8 ball, 9 ball and snooker for 30 years, I've never once played straight pool in my life... but I'm going to next time I go to the club! I actually only checked out this video because a computer game I play (Cue Club 2, amazing game btw!) is currently working on adding straight pool to the game and wanted to brush up on the rules and principles before they release it. This video got me so hyped I'm gonna try it out on a British sized table in our local club to see how it plays and I'll 100% be playing it on the American tables next time I go to the club near my dad's house.

      I think Earl is a psychological wonder to the world. I feel like he is a great example of vibe and energy dictating your performance. We see Earl get angry sometimes and outburst, but that’s really him creating his own energy that he knows he can feed off of. It’s very interesting.
