For everyone complaining about Landon's speed saying this is a boring match to watch, I couldn't disagree more. He is methodical. If you think this is boring you clearly don't have an appreciation for the game itself.
Agreed. Landon is putting on a 10-ball clinic in this match. Fundamentals are impeccable. Almost every player could learn something by watching Landon.
Earl is a power player with a massive stroke. He gets rolling and he free strokes so his pace is quick. This young guy like many players not has a routine he goes through which gives him consistency. If you're playing a big match or taking a tough shot a routine settles you because you're focusing on each step of it. I'm like Earl but I play much faster than he does. I used to play really fast to the point I was at the place I was planning to shoot from before the cue ball got there. Running a rack in a minute was not unusual. I feel like that limited me and made me more vulnerable to mistakes and just being really streaky. I moved from New York down south and didn't play for a while. When I can't back to playing I was really rusty so my arm felt like linguini. I choked up on the cue a few inches to shorten my stroke and slowed down a lot. I was playing close to my speed before in a couple weeks but still was not that comfortable yet because the routine made up for the loss of muscle memory a bit. I don't feel like I have to be really on to get out.
I think that Landon played under extreme control, especially for his age. Most eighteen year-olds fire right after the cue ball stops. He really impressed me in this match.
He’s been playing since he was like 10 his dad is like a teacher of pool he’s wrote books on it I’m a decent player but I just get burnt out playing especially as much as they do especially the dad he still play and is lethal if he really wants to be
He disappeared to complete his college degree at Lindenwood he knows pool will leave him broke and has too much class for hanging around trashy broke people in the pool world. Like Earl says we’re all broke and he’s correct.
The clear indication Landon Shuffett does NOT use CTE or PRO ONE system is at 5:31 . He is looking right at the contact point on that 10 ball. If he doesn't use CTE, why should I?
The only radiation that causes cancer is radiation in the ultra violet spectrum, such as gamma. Microwaves are in the infrared spectrum and do not cause cancer. Wireless microwave radiation is benign and completely non cancerous. Only those with hypersensitivity will experience symptoms, which are still non cancerous.
There are only a hand full of players that I respect more than Landon. Still fewer who I choose to emulate. His mental game is unwavering. His mechanics are FLAWLESS. His accomplishments are to be envied and he is just plain hard to beat under any circumstances. He does not appear to play the circuit much as I have not seen much from him lately, though I could be wrong about that. His pool knowledge is unparalleded and all aspects of his game should be studied if one is serious about improving their game. Thank you for the upload.
Another great billiard upload. For those who complained about Landon being slow, consider that Earl is always quick, also i guess that you haven't watch Johnny Archer lately. Thanks to the people who upload these and other great videos on TH-cam for free.
Very impressive all around performance by Landon Shuffett. I have thoroughly enjoyed following Landon over the years while studying the Academy of the Cueing Arts DVD series. A very well deserved testimonial.
Holy crap, can't believe I'm just seeing this. Just started watching pool on TH-cam and this whole match had my jaw dropped. Should call Landon "The Iceman" Shuffett! Lol
in regards to Landon taking "forever" compared to Earl, think about how much MORE table time Earl has had in his pool career. Not to mention if you are playing a GREAT like Earl, i bet you would take more time than usual to play your next shot.
This is how his dad plays he’s always played this way his dad basically bred him since he was a kid he was on ripleys believe it or not when he was a kid he wasn’t that good at pool then just trick shots I grew up in the same pool halls he did my whole life and we have even played but he doesn’t speak to hardly noone I mean my whole life I been in pool halls with him and have never seen him truly have a conversation lol
I like the comment that he made during his match with Shane Van Boening were he said why he lost the match, but would actually in fact go on to win. That was priceless.
USMarine 911 - that’s unfortunate but I’m glad he did what he thought is better for him. Reminds me of Filler, both amazing prodigy’s. Could have been a legend for sure.
I can not stress how Impressed I am with Landon here. This is a 10 foot table. And he is shooting the lights out. I know hes older know but what a smart kid. Wise beyond his years. And so mature for his age. I know hes much older know. 18 here in this match..but probably closer to 30 today. I recognized I needed to get a real job too. Too many ifs, ands, buts with pool for me. I will come back an improved version and play in some big tournaments. But not with my livelihood at stake. I will have plenty of money in my pocket. Just playing some pool. Whatever will be will be.
first time I seen this kid play. wow I never see so much quit in Earl. Landon is a world class player and I believe he could end up being the best in the future. my bet is on player of the decade 2020-2030 if not we will for sure see him as a player of the year during that time if he keeps playing the way he does. and I disagree with all the people who say he is slow. he never took more then 60 sec to take a shot and if he did it was not by much. he is just meticulous. I will be following this kid from now on. this was a match for the history books a passing of the torch so to speak.
What did they say at the end of the match? I turned it up as loud as I could but still couldn't hear it. Seemed like Earl was making excuses and Landon got mad.
If you want an understanding of how well Landon played here...watch Gorst-Biado on a 10 foot. There's multiple misses a rack. This kid played about as well as anyone has played.
i cant believe all the haters here capping on Landon. Earl is one of my favorite players to watch. I've been watching him before this kid was born. People are criticizing an 18 year old kid spanking a Hall of Famer on a 10 foot table with tight pockets saying that he is playing too slow. Everything is automatic to Earl. Earl is a pool playing machine. Watch Johnny Archer shoot he sets up for his shot two or three times I enjoy watching this kid more than Johnny Archer
Zionism toHell lol that's hilarious. Earl has never been the best player in the world. Not even in his prime. There are over 100 people in the world better than him right now.
Don't you love it, end of the second frame commentator says Earl loves the small pockets cause the big ones are too easy, and a second later he misses a sitter (which would have dropped in a bigger pocket;-))
I play alot of tournaments and when you get to a certain level you better make sure you are shooting the right shot and have the right pattern because one mistake can cost you a 500.00 entry fee.
Anybody know where this kid went? Imo he was one of the most talented players in the US after Shane
10 ปีที่แล้ว
Landon missed the 10 ball at the 1:42:40 because it looked like he lurched forward a bit on his bridge hand, and he moved his arm a bit also. He sure uses that open bridge a lot. He's a damn good player with it, but I believe he would get even better with using a closed bridge more often.
Wow..... the conversation during the first rack right around the 4 minute mark.... Landon got real job and brendan crockett passed away. Crazy to think what time does...
Well, I think even Earl has to realize this kid is the next generation when an 18 year old kicks your butt like this. But from what I read this kid doesn't play pool anymore.
He just won the Kentucky State 9 Ball Tournament in Campbellsville Ky. facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=2072285336163695&set=a.437103673015211&type=3&theater
@CAWD FATHER Not really anyone you would consider a pro. No real A's or A+ players. Mostly B, B+ and C players. Landon would be a $500.00 horse in their Calcutta.
To me it sounded like he was having a little joke at his own expense. Either way, Landon does a good job of ignoring everything his opponent says, which is something you have to know how to do in pool sometimes.
Landon's style ("slow" as some continue to call it) clearly gets the job done. Hats off to Both Stan (CTE Pro 1) and Landon for laying bare the base elements (fundamentals) of pool. Landon's Titles (Not a complete listing): "All he does is win" 2014 Kentucky State 9-Ball Champion, Rack and Cue, Campbellsville, KY 2014 ACUI Collegiate 9-Ball National Champion at Virginia Tech Representing Lindenwood University 2013 November, University of Michigan Championships: Lindenwood Lions won all three events.

He took a different path. Went off to College, Played some pool in college, Graduated, Got Married. Is starting life as a married adult. Not sure where being a professional pool player would fit into all that.
Earl was really tired , he had played Shane earler in the day and that took all he had . Then he had to sit around and wait to play Landon for hours and hours . He got really tired . no taking away from Landon's skill though. Alvin
I don't know if anyone noticed, but one of the background matches is Johnny Archer v. Hillbilly Bryant. I didn't recognize Hillbilly until the announcers said something. Boy, that guy has put on a lot of weight. I saw him a couiple of years ago at a Fast Eddie's Tour stop in College Station Texas and he had to have been 75 lbs lighter.
1:56:04 that is would really matter at this point in the game. But Landon nudges the nine ball with his arm during the shot. Actually moves the nine a little. Is this not a foul?
How can you even say that Landon is a better player based on one match? Earl is one of the greatest players in the history of the game. He's been world champion multiple times and he's won the US open a record number of times
Yea I’m with u earl def is better esp a prime earl I don’t like earl’s personality kind of a sore loser but when earl is going strong he’s as good as anyone my favorite will always be Reyes he’s the most consistent pool player I ever seen and he’s very humble
Fantastic performance from Landon, no doubt. On a side note, it gets annoying how people make excuses for Strickland. When he's shooting well everyone praises him, when he's shooting bad its "he's getting bad rolls", "he's tired", "he just finished a match right before this and didn't get to rest a little". I don't know why everyone assumes he'll destroy everyone on the planet, I've seen him lose plenty of times. He's his own worst enemy.
No matter the sharking that Earl does or how much his mouth is running, gotta give him some respect he at least shook the kid's hand and gave him a friendly tap on the back. Earl really did respect and admire Landon's play!
Earl is the best pool player ever. He makes it look so easy. His stroke is like a work of art. He's a genius at this game. When he's in stroke no one in the world can beat him, even today. He might get a little emotional and upset sometimes but he's being real and it shows how much pride he carries on his shoulders while he's at work. I know Earl quite well. Were both from Greensboro,nc. Once you get to know and understand Earl, he's a great person who is a master at what he dose.
@@Rickbearcat actually, I'd he knows Earl well, that wouldn't make what he says null and void. I don't justify his attitude here. Still, very few can play at his level, let alone win multi championship titles. I won't pretend that anyone can take that away from him. But no player is perfect and we all have our demons and visible flaws.
@@jakedouglas6904...Who gives a shit about "...very few can play at his level,...". Not one iota of that matters when you are playing someone. That would be like you saying that a person who MURDERED one of your family members was very good at giving money to charities. No one gives a rat's ass about the "good" you've done after doing something that bad. Earl is a narcissist and an ego-driven person. If things aren't going HIS way, he will try his best to ruin your day. That is asshole behavior. No, ifs, and's, or butts. You don't get to put him back on a pedestal because of his past "accomplishments".
The slowness makes me understand why Landon likely didn't follow pool as a career. For him, it is a lot of work. All the planning and calculations. Earl plays by feeling. There's a touch of magic in just seeing the shot and watching it go. Sure Earl does the same calculations...but he probably doesn't really think about it much. That being said this match was awesome to watch as you could watch textbook play and really think about what the next shot should be before Landon settled down to shoot.
Yeah i remember that, i think every time earl says something to his opponent he should lose a game, they should have a ref there to keep him under control.
i'm in awe of this young man. i love earl strickland's schtick as well; too bad this wasn't his best pool. i'd like to see a rematch where earl gives the kid a little more credit pre-match. and maybe have it played at a reasonable hour. regardless, landon plays sooo well. i love watching him play!! i immediately saw something he does that i like. so i went out to my table, tried it, and was playing better.
Good catch. That is def. a touch on the 9-ball by Landon. It even moved a little. Doesn't take anything away from a great performance by Landon though.
24:06...I would have gotten that 7 away from the rail if it was possible...I know it is risky to do that and get positioned for the 5 also...I just hate shooting at balls where the 7 ball is...I do know how to shoot them but to me the risk is about equal since the 5 is a pretty simple bank cross side...but that is why I am watching this and he is playing..I wrote this before watching him shoot the 7 and what he did was exactly why i would want to take that shot out of the equation whenever possible...its 1 thing to shoot that shot on your last ball...trying to get positioned for your next shot is why I miss those 85% of the time
Hey for those that don't know, and are saying: "This kid Landon plays too slow, but he is good..." Did you know Landon's dad teaches a certain aiming system? Landon's dad sells dvd's on how to do the aiming method Landon is using right here! Notice how many balls this kid missed on a 10 foot table? Also check out Landon's father's youtube channel, he has free videos on the aiming system, and I watched Stan Shuffett pocket 6 or more straight banks with his aiming system, must check it out.
There are a few of these “aiming systems" out there. But don't you agree that people, not just Landon that have this slowwwww💤💤 play is hard to deal with, for a person that shoots consistently, but at a much faster pace. A couple examples of fast consistent shot makers. Tony Drago Rodney Morris Jason Shaw Shane Van Boening. These guys are proof you don't need to take so long to aim & fire.
***** It depends on how your mind and nervous system works. I don't think he plays slow at all. He's deliberate. When he had fairly easy shots, he lined up and shot. When he didn't he took more time. There's nothing wrong with that and the proof is in the pudding. What I don't like is when people take a long time to shoot and then miss or get up off the ball 5 times (Charlie Williams, Danny Harriman, Alex Pagulayan) before they shoot. There are great players on both sides of the spectrum and if they can win championships playing fast or slow, you can't really argue with it.
This kid is an amazing player. Which pro players can beat him when he is playing like this???? I'm not sure anyone can. From what I see, he's only made a couple of mistakes the entire match. HE'S GREAT!
Hey, either slow, methodical, and get's the job done; or fast, messy w/out any thought of position for the next shot. Your choice.... My pick: Landon, hands down.
These commentators are hilarious. Third frame: "Earl loves to cut these in", but he plays save (not even a good save), so they say: "Earl likes to tease his opponent with savety". Next show Earl gets snookerd, tries to kick two rails and leave the cueball on the cushion. In stead he hits the object ball way too thin, but luckaly gets save. Commentator: "Wow look what he's done here" as if he meant to do so;)
For everyone complaining about Landon's speed saying this is a boring match to watch, I couldn't disagree more. He is methodical. If you think this is boring you clearly don't have an appreciation for the game itself.
Agreed. Landon is putting on a 10-ball clinic in this match. Fundamentals are impeccable. Almost every player could learn something by watching Landon.
Couldn’t agree more. Played like a 30 year vet
It's hard to imagine someone complaining about an 18 year old playing too slowly against the Pearl.
Nha dude is boring,shots should always have a time limit of 30 seconds.
Earl is a power player with a massive stroke. He gets rolling and he free strokes so his pace is quick. This young guy like many players not has a routine he goes through which gives him consistency. If you're playing a big match or taking a tough shot a routine settles you because you're focusing on each step of it. I'm like Earl but I play much faster than he does.

I think that Landon played under extreme control, especially for his age. Most eighteen year-olds fire right after the cue ball stops. He really impressed me in this match.
If you knew his dad you would kno y he plays that way
Its great to see such a young person play so well! He makes me wanna practise for hours and hours! Respect
He’s been playing since he was like 10 his dad is like a teacher of pool he’s wrote books on it I’m a decent player but I just get burnt out playing especially as much as they do especially the dad he still play and is lethal if he really wants to be
I'll be looking forward to seeing Landon Shuffet in the future.
+6771Randy he disappeared after this match =))
He disappeared to complete his college degree at Lindenwood he knows pool will leave him broke and has too much class for hanging around trashy broke people in the pool world. Like Earl says we’re all broke and he’s correct.
unreal Landon's mechanics, well his whole game is just about perfect. A soon to be world champ in my eyes .
Too bad that he's left the game.
I love this kid's game. On any given day he could beat anyone. Looking forward to seeing more of this Landon Shuffett
The clear indication Landon Shuffett does NOT use CTE or PRO ONE system is at 5:31 . He is looking right at the contact point on that 10 ball. If he doesn't use CTE, why should I?
LOL You caught him.
Earl needs to be mic'd up for all his matches

this was a great match, tons of respect for landon's game! he has a strong mental game too; i'm glad he was able to brush off earl's sharking
Great job having the fortitude to have this young man at the time on a TV table
Another great billiard upload. For those who complained about Landon being slow, consider that Earl is always quick, also i guess that you haven't watch Johnny Archer lately. Thanks to the people who upload these and other great videos on TH-cam for free.
+Ron Snow You are very welcome.
@@InsidePOOLmag Does anyone know what happened to this kid?
First time watching this where is this being played at the big foot challenge
Huge props for the play of this young lad! Anyone who plays this well against Earl should always be mentioned!
Thanks. I have not yet played 10-ball. I wonder if there will ever be APA 10-ball leagues.
Very impressive all around performance by Landon Shuffett. I have thoroughly enjoyed following Landon over the years while studying the Academy of the Cueing Arts DVD series. A very well deserved testimonial.
This is pretty close to the best I've ever seen someone play. Alcano in rotation. Some Corey Duel. Some current Filler. This is up there.
Are the results of this tournament available anywhere?
Holy crap, can't believe I'm just seeing this. Just started watching pool on TH-cam and this whole match had my jaw dropped. Should call Landon "The Iceman" Shuffett! Lol
Have you got some Pagulayan's match on this 10ft table recorded?
As Mozart said of Beethoven when he first heard him, this young man will make a great noise in the world!
Wish this kid would’ve stuck around. What talent for someone that age.
Seriously!! He's like the Bobby Fischer of pool
in regards to Landon taking "forever" compared to Earl, think about how much MORE table time Earl has had in his pool career. Not to mention if you are playing a GREAT like Earl, i bet you would take more time than usual to play your next shot.

He’s like a robot lol
That’s g I wasn’t surprised when he didn’t entertain earl Strickland at the end he’s definitely a man of few words his dads the same way
Good match and commentary.
Anyone know what Landon is shooting here? Got to be close to or above .95
Great match well thought out take your place.
music at 1:16:55?
Landon always racks with the 2&3 in the back corners. Is this a rule, or just what he does for consistency?
I like the comment that he made during his match with Shane Van Boening were he said why he lost the match, but would actually in fact go on to win. That was priceless.
thanks for the upload!
this kid is gonna terrorize a lot of players for the next few decades or so.
Looks like he finished college and got a real job.

Oh no question! He's great. It's just tough to see a blow out like this last so long. Keep the awesome vids coming!!
why don't 10 ball on the break count for the pockets on the racked side
I can not stress how Impressed I am with Landon here. This is a 10 foot table. And he is shooting the lights out.
I know hes older know but what a smart kid. Wise beyond his years.
And so mature for his age.
I know hes much older know.
18 here in this match..but probably closer to 30 today.
I recognized I needed to get a real job too. Too many ifs, ands, buts with pool for me.
I will come back an improved version and play in some big tournaments.
But not with my livelihood at stake.
I will have plenty of money in my pocket. Just playing some pool.
Whatever will be will be.
what happened to l shuffett, i dont find any international tournaments hes played , seems like hes teaching at some university billards ??
first time I seen this kid play. wow I never see so much quit in Earl. Landon is a world class player and I believe he could end up being the best in the future. my bet is on player of the decade 2020-2030 if not we will for sure see him as a player of the year during that time if he keeps playing the way he does. and I disagree with all the people who say he is slow. he never took more then 60 sec to take a shot and if he did it was not by much. he is just meticulous.

I Love Pool Earl was super tired BTW just so you know. The kid shoots good but Earl was on his last ounce of energy
Landon quit pool
OK cheers, I only really watched the first 4 frames or racks so wondered was the young kid setting them up all the time.
What did they say at the end of the match? I turned it up as loud as I could but still couldn't hear it. Seemed like Earl was making excuses and Landon got mad.
I want to have this table. That's an absolute killer!
if you are in Europe the only one I know of is at Bata billiards in Berlin
We have one in moscow
If you want an understanding of how well Landon played here...watch Gorst-Biado on a 10 foot. There's multiple misses a rack. This kid played about as well as anyone has played.
The combo Earl did at 8:00 he missed by a mile, yet commentator thinks it's a hair XD
Pretty Sure there is. Local Pool Halls or Bars just need to start it there.
Landon Shuffett, a new champion coming up
he like to play too much with that cue!! but is fine ! i hope is still in school!:))
Does Earl have a cybernetic arm?
was this after the SVB match?
i cant believe all the haters here capping on Landon. Earl is one of my favorite players to watch. I've been watching him before this kid was born. People are criticizing an 18 year old kid spanking a Hall of Famer on a 10 foot table with tight pockets saying that he is playing too slow. Everything is automatic to Earl. Earl is a pool playing machine. Watch Johnny Archer shoot he sets up for his shot two or three times I enjoy watching this kid more than Johnny Archer
Josh Randolph Doesn't matter. He plays better than earl. Everyday, all day.
Josh Randolph earl is a stuck up lil B too.
Zionism toHell lol that's hilarious. Earl has never been the best player in the world. Not even in his prime. There are over 100 people in the world better than him right now.
Don't you love it, end of the second frame commentator says Earl loves the small pockets cause the big ones are too easy, and a second later he misses a sitter (which would have dropped in a bigger pocket;-))
Yes I own the DVD's also. Landon has certainly mastered that break. I'm going back to study the power break sections again after watching this.
I play alot of tournaments and when you get to a certain level you better make sure you are shooting the right shot and have the right pattern because one mistake can cost you a 500.00 entry fee.
Headphones BEWARE, ear F@!*ing advertisement at 1:34:12.
Thanks for the heads up...! wow!
still recovering from my ear drums being blown, really wish I noticed this comment earlier :-(
I would love to see a match with Dennis Orcollo. Thanks again.
landons 18? looks about 14. I don't know maybe because I was big when I was 18.
Anybody know where this kid went? Imo he was one of the most talented players in the US after Shane

thought during the lag you needed to hit your ball before your opponent reaches the far bumper?
Man, this boy is amazing! And very mature!
Wow..... the conversation during the first rack right around the 4 minute mark.... Landon got real job and brendan crockett passed away. Crazy to think what time does...
Lived just one town over from the kid he was so good. Wonder what he's doing these days?
Well, I think even Earl has to realize this kid is the next generation when an 18 year old kicks your butt like this. But from what I read this kid doesn't play pool anymore.

@rats arsed I just tested the link and it works fine. It was an Open 9 Ball Tournament at Rack & Cue Billiards, not a school Tournament.
@CAWD FATHER Not really anyone you would consider a pro. No real A's or A+ players. Mostly B, B+ and C players. Landon would be a $500.00 horse in their Calcutta.
Why does earl wear the arm braces type thing on his bridge arm ?
Earl said in an interview for Inside pool "what's in the case", that those are weights that help him keep is balance
To me it sounded like he was having a little joke at his own expense. Either way, Landon does a good job of ignoring everything his opponent says, which is something you have to know how to do in pool sometimes.
I have never seen a 51 year old behave like such a child. Such maturity is shown for the future of billiards in Shuffett. Go, Landon!
The comment is now 10 years old. Have you played enough pool yet to understand him yet?
Shuffett has a better cue action than most pool players I've seen lately . Good fundamentals
this kid is a cte aim system guy right?
SharpShooter707 yes
Why is the 3 always going in the same pocket a little pattern there
Landon's style ("slow" as some continue to call it) clearly gets the job done.
Hats off to Both Stan (CTE Pro 1) and Landon for laying bare the base elements (fundamentals) of pool.

odysseus011380 quite impressive resume for the kid
What ever happened to this kid? There is no info or matches with him in the last four years. He just disappeared. He was dominating.
He took a different path. Went off to College, Played some pool in college, Graduated, Got Married. Is starting life as a married adult. Not sure where being a professional pool player would fit into all that.
It seemed like Earl was tired. It was past his bedtime. xD No disrespect to Earl, but I feel like he really underestimated Landon.
Earl was really tired , he had played Shane earler in the day and that took all he had . Then he had to sit around and wait to play Landon for hours and hours . He got really tired . no taking away from Landon's skill though. Alvin
InsidePOOLmag I enjoy hearing Jr talk about old days like when him and mike segal went to play 14 yr old earl in the barn.
I don't know if anyone noticed, but one of the background matches is Johnny Archer v. Hillbilly Bryant. I didn't recognize Hillbilly until the announcers said something. Boy, that guy has put on a lot of weight. I saw him a couiple of years ago at a Fast Eddie's Tour stop in College Station Texas and he had to have been 75 lbs lighter.
CTE is deadly. No guess work. And when you nail some difficult long shots like Landon does, it shows.
38:48 you can see him not hit center. sways to the right a bit. i think him not being on the table as often as he'd like is making earl a little antsy
1:56:04 that is would really matter at this point in the game. But Landon nudges the nine ball with his arm during the shot. Actually moves the nine a little. Is this not a foul?
to me landon is just the better player, earl thinks cause he is older and been around longer he is gonna win, but obviously earl is jealous....
How can you even say that Landon is a better player based on one match? Earl is one of the greatest players in the history of the game. He's been world champion multiple times and he's won the US open a record number of times
Yea I’m with u earl def is better esp a prime earl I don’t like earl’s personality kind of a sore loser but when earl is going strong he’s as good as anyone my favorite will always be Reyes he’s the most consistent pool player I ever seen and he’s very humble
Fantastic performance from Landon, no doubt. On a side note, it gets annoying how people make excuses for Strickland. When he's shooting well everyone praises him, when he's shooting bad its "he's getting bad rolls", "he's tired", "he just finished a match right before this and didn't get to rest a little". I don't know why everyone assumes he'll destroy everyone on the planet, I've seen him lose plenty of times. He's his own worst enemy.
No matter the sharking that Earl does or how much his mouth is running, gotta give him some respect he at least shook the kid's hand and gave him a friendly tap on the back. Earl really did respect and admire Landon's play!
This young man plays great.
Earl is the best pool player ever. He makes it look so easy. His stroke is like a work of art. He's a genius at this game. When he's in stroke no one in the world can beat him, even today. He might get a little emotional and upset sometimes but he's being real and it shows how much pride he carries on his shoulders while he's at work. I know Earl quite well. Were both from Greensboro,nc. Once you get to know and understand Earl, he's a great person who is a master at what he dose.
Yeah? Well, in this instance for me, he was being an asshole toward Landon. That makes what you say about him null and void.
@@Rickbearcat actually, I'd he knows Earl well, that wouldn't make what he says null and void. I don't justify his attitude here. Still, very few can play at his level, let alone win multi championship titles. I won't pretend that anyone can take that away from him. But no player is perfect and we all have our demons and visible flaws.
@@jakedouglas6904...Who gives a shit about "...very few can play at his level,...". Not one iota of that matters when you are playing someone. That would be like you saying that a person who MURDERED one of your family members was very good at giving money to charities. No one gives a rat's ass about the "good" you've done after doing something that bad. Earl is a narcissist and an ego-driven person. If things aren't going HIS way, he will try his best to ruin your day. That is asshole behavior. No, ifs, and's, or butts. You don't get to put him back on a pedestal because of his past "accomplishments".
Kid has great technique and doesn't rush. I think Earl appreciated his game.
The slowness makes me understand why Landon likely didn't follow pool as a career. For him, it is a lot of work. All the planning and calculations. Earl plays by feeling. There's a touch of magic in just seeing the shot and watching it go. Sure Earl does the same calculations...but he probably doesn't really think about it much. That being said this match was awesome to watch as you could watch textbook play and really think about what the next shot should be before Landon settled down to shoot.
Does Earl have a bionic arm?
Can Landon run 10 racks for a million dollars or in a tournament 100,OOO DOLLARS HE GOT ALOT TO LEARN ICOULD SHOOT I'M 69 YRS OLD PEARL NOT OLD
Yeah i remember that, i think every time earl says something to his opponent he should lose a game, they should have a ref there to keep him under control.
"Raising the Hustler" was there filming it ;)
44:50 Why does he not shoot the 10 ball?
I believe he was getting a handicap on the 10 ball or Earl gave him the 10 (sportsmanship).
😅Haven't watched this match on yeeaaarsss
He just beat "The greatest athlete that America has ever produced."
you mean the greatest butthead?
I was being sarcastic lol He calls himself that
We gotta show Earl's "documentary" to Michael Jordan.
what's wrong with the audience?!
Nice shooting by Landon here. Don't think he was too slow either. Nice pace.
i'm in awe of this young man. i love earl strickland's schtick as well; too bad this wasn't his best pool. i'd like to see a rematch where earl gives the kid a little more credit pre-match. and maybe have it played at a reasonable hour. regardless, landon plays sooo well. i love watching him play!! i immediately saw something he does that i like. so i went out to my table, tried it, and was playing better.
Hes the kid terminator lolllll 😎💪👊👊 I love seeing people squash earl the mouth
Good catch. That is def. a touch on the 9-ball by Landon. It even moved a little. Doesn't take anything away from a great performance by Landon though.
24:06...I would have gotten that 7 away from the rail if it was possible...I know it is risky to do that and get positioned for the 5 also...I just hate shooting at balls where the 7 ball is...I do know how to shoot them but to me the risk is about equal since the 5 is a pretty simple bank cross side...but that is why I am watching this and he is playing..I wrote this before watching him shoot the 7 and what he did was exactly why i would want to take that shot out of the equation whenever possible...its 1 thing to shoot that shot on your last ball...trying to get positioned for your next shot is why I miss those 85% of the time
Hey for those that don't know, and are saying: "This kid Landon plays too slow, but he is good..."
Did you know Landon's dad teaches a certain aiming system? Landon's dad sells dvd's on how to do the aiming method Landon is using right here!
Notice how many balls this kid missed on a 10 foot table?
Also check out Landon's father's youtube channel, he has free videos on the aiming system, and I watched Stan Shuffett pocket 6 or more straight banks with his aiming system, must check it out.
There are a few of these “aiming systems" out there. But don't you agree that people, not just Landon that have this slowwwww💤💤 play is hard to deal with, for a person that shoots consistently, but at a much faster pace.
A couple examples of fast consistent shot makers.
Tony Drago
Rodney Morris
Jason Shaw
Shane Van Boening.
These guys are proof you don't need to take so long to aim & fire.
***** It depends on how your mind and nervous system works. I don't think he plays slow at all. He's deliberate. When he had fairly easy shots, he lined up and shot. When he didn't he took more time. There's nothing wrong with that and the proof is in the pudding. What I don't like is when people take a long time to shoot and then miss or get up off the ball 5 times (Charlie Williams, Danny Harriman, Alex Pagulayan) before they shoot. There are great players on both sides of the spectrum and if they can win championships playing fast or slow, you can't really argue with it.
This kid is an amazing player. Which pro players can beat him when he is playing like this???? I'm not sure anyone can. From what I see, he's only made a couple of mistakes the entire match. HE'S GREAT!
Hey, either slow, methodical, and get's the job done; or fast, messy w/out any thought of position for the next shot. Your choice....
My pick: Landon, hands down.
Does earl ever not cry
Right, as if you've never let a foul go unnoticed before Mr. Perfect.
These commentators are hilarious. Third frame: "Earl loves to cut these in", but he plays save (not even a good save), so they say: "Earl likes to tease his opponent with savety". Next show Earl gets snookerd, tries to kick two rails and leave the cueball on the cushion. In stead he hits the object ball way too thin, but luckaly gets save. Commentator: "Wow look what he's done here" as if he meant to do so;)
Is Landon Shuffet Stan's son or grandson?
His son
Wow this kid is good
