I don't know who started this memorial tournament but from the bottom of my heart...very classy. Ginky was such an amazing player I could not hope for a more welcomed tribute to this wonderful man, teacher and friend.
Damn, played there 2 days before this tournament. Robles was there, had a chat with him, super cool , full of knowledge about the game! Well they both are, despite the antiques of earl.
Earl is legend of pool

We will be serving our own videos some day. For now, we use CZcams to help us promote the sport, which is extremely important. Thanks for the kind words.
It seems that Robles gave Strickland the ball and conceded the game.
I like these commentators, they seem like great people :)
Spending a day with them shooting pool or whatnot would be so nice.
Earl is the best thats way they all want to play him ,he is the man to beat,the Pearl is back!!
from 0:58:15 Earl made some powerful follow shots with low cue tip (it looked like he was going to make draw shots). Could anyone explain this?
He took two diamond systems and used them as one called the Wall I doubt hes the only person that uses it but thats how he made a shot like that. Heck I'm new to this game only been playing two and a half years. Just learning.
I didn't even know that Ginky was gone.
Im not trying to be a smart ass! I promise! If you apply low left but stun the cue ball and insure it stops rolling backward and starts rolling forward before it hits the object ball then it is doing exactly what you describe. Its so important to deliver every shot properly. If the ball is going to roll off in anyway you must hit it with your same delivery as every other shot but still have enough touch to have the effect of a slow roll. This is something that is only done on certain shots!
I wasn't completely sure how it is done in the first place I've only gotten lucky one or two times out of 100 pulling a shot off like that. Lance told me somewhat how its done since he did on my me in a match a few weeks back. Basically what he told me is he aimed using the diamonds and went two rails for the break out. To him it was a fairly easy shot since he has 3c experience.
im not sure pool players count as athletes.. but earl was THE MASTER in the older days... he's still bloody brilliant, but not as good as he used to be.
The only way this could be better is if we could just hear Earl! Most folks would pay to listen to him!
it's not that 9ball has vanished, all these pros still play it, it's just that in 10ball the flukes don't count & potting the 10 on the break isn't a victory. it eliminates the luck factor. imagine you're in a hill-hill 9ball match & your opponent misses an easy sink but that missed balled bumps off another, into the 9 & in a pocket...he wins by fluke! that doesn't happen in 10ball. if most pros & amateurs are switching to it, it's for a reason.
Did you not spell check your own post?

they never did get the score right it is 7-2 earl not 5-3 .....lol
I believe hes cueing a touch of low left and applying a lot of follow spin. Saw Lance Saunder's play exactly the same shot in one of our local tourneys where I'm from. Instead of trying to play position he was trying to break some balls out in a game of 8 ball.
