Earl's the fucking man.
This is my favorite interview. Earl "The Pearl" Strickland is an absolute Beauty!! Shane laughing under his breathe is awesome too.
Call him what you want... Earl knows a lot about pool.. There is no denying!!!!!
He knows everything.
@Gerald G. efren knows everything about pool literally lol
Gotta love Earl.
I LOVE listening to Earl in an interview... especially when he talks about pool the game (vs the state of pool as a sport) and when he talks about his life experiences as a pool player. Great guy with a good heart and a lot of love for the game. The only thing I really don't like is when he is so hard on himself that he makes his future strokes in a self-destructive way. I always root for Earl and it's nothing personal against whoever his opponent might be in any given match.
Shane took Earls advice and eventually started playing with a longer cue (extension) and went to win major tournaments.
I don't know why more people don't try what the pros have and do. Every time I try something new at a casual tournament the guys give me a look like I'm trying to shoot with the butt end of the cue.
and now everyone wears a glove because of shane
@@Synrgiii because people are sheep and do what others do just because they do, without the knowledge of why. I always used a glove because my hand sweats, simple. I used to play with a permanent extension on the same cue shane has, but now I play without it. Was hard to get shots in a tight bar as well with a javelin
I think Earl is one of the last great All-American heroes.
Tremendous pool minds, I'm 66 year's old been playing for 55 year's, never to old to learn
i never want earl to shut up ... this man knows way too lot of pool.... probably the most misunderstood player.... he just speaks his heart out... respect ...
I love these podcasts. Please train the interviewer to let us hear the players. Positive feedback is all that I wish to add . Thank u for putting this up !!!
Man, can't you guys get lapel mics for these Great players?!!!!!!!
went thru all this trouble cant hear the players
the guy holding the mic should just hand it to earl. We cant hear crap
Regarding the audio: Normally we run wired lavs so its easier to get good sound. I have two wireless lav sets and tested them before the podcast. I put one on Earl and one on the wireless handheld. The one on Earl suddenly decided to develop a nasty hiss 5 minutes before we went live so I had to ditch it. Shit happens in live productions. If any audio engineers out there want to work for tshirts and PPV's I am all ears.
I wonder if it was interference from Shanes hearing aids? Top 3 pool experience on TH-cam
earl enjoys this so much. you can see it pretty clear
Earl is great and simply a Genius
If you don't like Earl, then you just don't understand him. Think about where his game USED to be, and how long he has watched brand new players to the game come in and rise to the top, and very few have come close to achieving what he has. Earl is one of the greatest 9 ball players of all time, and that is far more than just my opinion.
"Your a butter guy" 😂
Not sure if I have ever seen Earl calm and completely rational
***** I have an uncle almost as bad as him. Can't ever feel completely comfortable around these guys
@DPMAce then you don't really know Earl, never spent time around him, and prob just seen the videos that always paint a bad light on him as the media likes to do with everything.
@@mr.s1961 You are right, I don't know him personally. But I have an uncle that very much reminds me of him. My uncle has bipolar disorder. He's extremely easily agitated sometimes, and then extremely understanding and helpful at others. My uncle is also a genius in his profession, with great skill and attention to detail. So I don't know Earl, but I know of the anxiety that controls him
well i can not thank u enough for this video ....its very nice and useful..i wish Earl the best ever..and Shane too hes great..thanx again..
56:00 , I believe Earl is spot on here. I'm a big guy, and I keep getting longer and longer cues...it makes you more accurate imo. Like he says it levels out your swing. If your a snowboarder, you want a long board for cruising..a small board is great for spins..but terrible for all-mountain(stability!). Same for surfing, shooting guns, etc. ~Think about it~
sssooooooo entertaining!!!! longest earl interview i've seen... great stuff, thank you very much for this & other great uploads.
--- Earl Strickland is the best pool player in the world's ever ,and he is LEGEND ---
RIP my dearly beloved friend Mark Griffin
yeah I saw it, and he got everyone talking. EVERYONE. fool or not, and love him or hate him, people watch him. I know him personally, and hes a really good guy, he gets frustrated with pool bc it doesnt get the respect it deserves, and rightfully so. Cue sports are complex and difficult, more than most sports, and if you reach the top and dont get recognized you would be pissed off too. Do I agree with some things he says and does, no, but I understand him. top players admire this guy
Good interviewing this time!
Why does Earl Strickland sound like Joe Rogan's impersonation? LOL
I love the content but can’t take the production quality.
This was the earl Strickland show 😂
Think about maybe getting body mic's for future interviews as the situation with just one hand held mic was awful.
=) Earl makes me laugh when you get him talking. He's a character. I know he can get a bit pissed off and act up every now and then but overall I like him a lot. He's a real pool player. He shoots two tips off center on all shots! =) He doesn't pull any punches either. I'd love to meet him.
A Unique Genius
Savant...
I agree with mark that the BCA has nearly destroyed pool in the U.S. It's not nearly as big a deal as it is in other countries. That's why things are the way that Earl says, "there's nothing to play for". I know several pro's that through in the towel because the money dried up so bad after the 90's.
I also agree with Shane, we need more celebrity power in the sport. It would do a lot for promoting the game.
ROFL @31:22 "You guys think I'm stupid don't you?" He goes on to say we think he has no education. Then, at 31:50 "Shane's the most 'dymanic' player...." Earl's a trip man.
The guys got two all time world pool greats and they got some shotty Mic and he's unprepared. Don't get me wrong this is cool. But boy did they fuck up this opportunity.
Enjoyed Shane and Earl Awesome I love the cue extension on the pool cue takes a little getting use to but to me it really made a difference in every aspect of my game
Ya gotta love Earl, I could listen to him all day. Just for the record, 408 balls in 2 1/2 hours is not 6 seconds per shot, it's more like 22 seconds per shot. Regardless, 408 is an extremely impressive run, especially for a 9 Ball player that doesn't specialize in Straight Pool.
I agree with Earl he tells it like it is and he is the greatest pool player of my time. The truth only hurts those guilty of the truth!
Way cool. Love Earl. Love Shane.
GOD IM SO HAPPY WATCHING THIS!!!
This is an excellent are rare glimpse at what is so great about Earl and why he's right about expecting to be invited to major events. The sound though is terrible and means you miss loads of what is said. Suprisingly unprofessional from TAR, they really need someone who knows what they're doing with this sort of stuff as it's a major let down. Great video though and I wish you all the best with this and future events.
EARL ALL THE WAY!!!! he demostrated his best defeating shane 100-83 last time =D
The pearl laying down some info. Awesome entertainer and does a great job spinning the rock .SVB is speechless
this is SVB 11 years ago when he was young. Earl was playing since at least the late 60's before SVB was even born. you'd be an idiot to not listen.. but he wasn't speechless, he was listening and absorbing, something most people (seems yourself too) don't know how to do well, if ever at all. People always wanna be heard instead of listen.
Earl interview starts at 3:00 and the audio smooths out.
He is crazy good and great for the game!!!!! woot woot
When a pool room fills up with players for a tournament, each player is exhaling warm humid air.Also when players get nervous playing under pressure, they perspire.The air conditioners can only remove so much of that humidity. They should put out a few large buckets of Damp-Rid to remove the excess humidity so over-running the air conditioners won't make the conditions cold and damp.
I think earl is the greatest thing to happen to pool they should give him the most attention i think he has the best chance to put pool on the map, hes great to watch~!
Earl is a lot like Minnesota Fats,he loves the microphone and talking about himself. But he also my favorite,Sigel too.
Earl knocked the shit out of that fiteen ball so fast in that tight ass pocket 😂
Where is the video of the match??
1:00:00
Dear Earl, 408 shots in 2.5 hrs isn't 6 sec a shot.
It's 2.5x60x60 / 408 = 22 sec a shot.
Long live the Pearl!
i was trying to purchase TAR22 match, but i cant find it and i tried finding it on their site and on vimeo, any info is appreciated :)
Shane looks so young here.
Is this why Shane plays with an extension today?
Turn off the auto gating of microphone, and this mic is still fine to use.
54:00 WOOOWWWW what a spin shooot!!
Now they are switching to longer cues!
Strickland Cue 23 oz! WOW
I play in a car shop and when it’s wet I don’t even play much so much harder
I love this, some reality tv fighting
Billiard tables are heated
Earl at his best is the number two greatest 9 ball player I ever seen behind efren
Richard Cerritelli he beat efren in 87
I am diehard Efren but I will put prime Earl over prime Efren in 9Ball. All else, it’s Efren.
Earls cue as long as a fishing Rod !
These non sense are in trouble with mic problems. It would have been a great show
Does anyone know where the full match can be watched on TH-cam?
I also believe that Earl is right about how slow some people play. It's just rediculouse. I love a 30-45 second clock with one extension. I think it's crazy that someone will stare at the same shot for ten minutes and wonder why people don't want to watch. O also believe that someone else believe that if the BCA doesn't want to do it's part in promoting the game properly here, than they should step aside as the main sanctioning body and let the players form thier own federation.
Earls nuts .
Did Earl's doctor give him permission to come out?
Man, this could have been so good if everyone were mic'd properly and were sitting down an relaxed. I'm getting tired just thinking about them standing for an hour, just talking.
Is there any way to get a lesson from earl Strickland
Fucking love earl!!!!!!
Amazing Earl 56:00
Earl, maybe don’t play publicly unless you’re paid what you want. Maybe let the younger players worry about the honor of pool. Maybe don’t worry about titles because you’re already proven as the GOAT. Play in private and stay healthy. The money will find you.
That microphone 🎙...
Ohhhhh that noise gate.... :O
If Earl is so bad, why are you all here watching?
Tim Grover u r joking,right....?
Ha Earl...no children no women no wheel chairs. Priceless
earl is the best
Where's the video of the match?
at 54:00 how does that shot follow when theyre putting bottom on the ball?
He is putting low right in the final stroke so the cue ball grabs the rail and accelerates forward. It is called an acceleration stroke.
Robert Longo really?! low right . that's crazy!
Daron Lapping He's hitting it to the left...
Dragging the cue ball
he's not putting bottom, his stroke just ends on the table. and i think he does this to maximize the left spin, since he was performing an extreme english shot.
i think because this was not super follow shot, he doesn't end high. it's a follow with extreme left, and you squeeze the most english by trying to extend the stroke as long as you can to the left, therefore ending low or towards the edge of the cue ball, if that makes any sense. you see the cue ball hit between the second and third diamond, so it can't be draw.
Agreed. He talks too much just for the sake of talking. What I think would be best was if everyone was wearing earpiece mics Justin could just ask the questions and the players could talk and answer seamlessly while playing.
46:34 anyone have experience with playing on these old oak top diamonds from the 90's?
Larry Cooper Yes, they have good rubber and good pockets. Diamonds now are shitty.
Mark Griffin needs to talk less. He asks Earl what he thinks about Captain america and doesn't allow him to elaborate on his response.. Frankly I dont really care what Mark has to say. Although he gets better as the interview goes on
Who won the match I can't find it
Omg the wet tables.....
GET ANOTHER MIC and MORE LIGHT!
Jeez, learn how to mic.
I have been trying and trying for two years to become better and I wish I can get a lesson from either player, I go to Steinway billiards and when I'm there I actually try my best to look at how earl Strickland plays how he makes it, anyone know a way to contact him? So he can help me if its ok with him? Lol
+Jefferson Serrano When he's taking a break go talk to him. I've met him a few times at tournaments in florida he's a pretty nice guy when he's not losing.
Again 🤯 Recognize

Wer can I find this match
hahah! earl is a funny guy
31:50 shane's the most dymatic -- dyamatic player i've seen in a long time
@hariadi soekarmadji
clearly he has never watched efren reyes. lol yes earl is a legend but definitely not the best in the world ever. he basically only plays nine ball. at least efren is a champion in multiple genres of pool.
thats the most ignorant comment ive ever read. The most watched ESPN pool match of all time features Earl, hes the most talented American pool player since Mosconi, he plays fast and moves the cue ball like an art form. If more pool players were like him pool would be in a better state. just bc hes a little animated you think hes hurting the game, stop it you ignoramus. Pool is on the decline bc every other pool player is a fucking bore to watch, and im a serious pool player who watches the game
earl at 27:00 LOL
@46:00 Bwahahaha
They should have live punk rock bands performing at tournaments. And call it the Rock n' Roll tournament like they do every year in Vegas at the punk rock bowling festival every year. And you can bowl against the bands. Would be cool if it was a pool thing....the band nofx has a song about pool called "sloppy english" that rocks! the singer "fat mike" owner of fat wreck chords is the guy you'd wanna talk too. 🎱🎶🥁🎸🎙🎤🎛👉💨〰️〰️〰️〰️⚪💥🎱 🕳)🔹️\
Would be a good video except the sound quality is trash.
WHY YOU DO THAT EARL
Mark you talk too much. You don't need to tell these guys that confidence is obvious when asking who they think is going to win. Talk less, let them talk more. Ask more follow-up questions, it's about Shane and Earl.
I have a friend that's 6'4" and he went to a longer cue and his game went up 3 balls
The promoter needs more enthusiasm to advance these matches and pool. Just the way he dressed and talked not impressed
