I've been following Earl's career since 1992, when I first saw him on TV. To this day, he is still in the top 3 or 4 most naturally talented players I have ever seen in my life.

[@billiardnetwork]

thanks for watching!

[@FsKSmooth1]

Search Earl Strickland 1983 versus Steve Mizrak at the Lake Tahoe open. Earl was 22 years old and just coming to National prominence. It is just an absolutely unreal performance and the most offensive, no defense butt kicking he’s ever displayed. The video is so old his nickname was Little Earl back then lol

[@5000rgb]

@@FsKSmooth1 Yeah, that is one of the most dominant performances ever, in any sport. He was a man on a mission. If anyone ever shot a better game of 9-ball, well, that was probably Earl, too.

[@bobbylight111]

[@andrew_owens7680]

It's so beautiful to see. I had the honor of meeting him and watching him practice once and I've been a fan ever since. Despite his temperament, he's done so much for the game. And I don't think I've ever seen him play better than this. Shaw is no slouch.

[@AndrewT]

Earl showing off his super high gear in this match. Still got it!

[@bejee45]

A talent like Earl's only comes along in a lifetime -- such a long stroke but still hits the cue ball exactly where he wants to, it's almost unbelievable..

Im a filipino and ofcourse an Efren fan, but Earl has always been my favorite player despite his flaws hes just the best out there. He's born for this sport.

[@lordcerberus4894]

Earl did exactly as you should with that 9 ball in the 5th rack! Don't dwell on the wrong leave and take the shot that you have with confidence. Also, it's nice to see that he has worked on his 9 ball break.

[@Centrinario]

Shaw is one of the best players on the tour, but Strickland is a fucking legend

[@b3fitco626]

If Earl could keep his head and play like this all the time he'd probably be in the mosconi cup again

[@scottbranson7872]

as if he shouldn't be every year anyway, he's just a distraction and he's probably told them to ____ off numerous times

[@jefferyharper5720]

Earls always been an eccentric, willing to do anything to improve his game. Asked if he should cut his hair because a guy with short hair was shooting good. He's getting old and losing ability. Resorting to ensuring to improve his game, and hurting it.

[@gumaming]

Earl is a machine. Prime Earl vs. prime Efren is always fun to watch. Can’t blame Earl to get frustrated though when playing Efren and often gets beaten on their best days. If I recall, his one and only match with Efren in the Philippines, he won that match. A match that really mattered to Efren. Made Earl an instant celebrity over there. First time seeing Earl happy and truly humbled by an event.

Time happens to everybody, bruh. Earl did have thunder in his ass back in the day. Trust me, he remembers those days every time he takes a swing at a rack now. I think I heard that he stopped running/jogging so much. If that’s true, he might have some more pop in his break these days.

Us could do with him in the Mosconi playing like this

[@stevehiggerson7328]

I think they should offer him a chance to play on the condition that he doesn’t say a word the whole time, or have any kind of tantrums. It would help him to stay focused and solve the embarrassment problem as well.

[@lakewade]

Using your playing cue as a break cue. Classic

[@JH-ji6cj]

Some tourneys (like this one) restrict players from using jump cues, so they must use a regulation cue

[@mofhiryjones8272]

20:30 I believe that was tactical, Shaw taking a break. I feel like, now that he has the table, he's taking a little extra time to get earl out of the rhythm. So his shot cools down. Didn't work but good effort

[@johnstorton]

In my opinion, they should bury the winner break format for all time. (Edited to say "winner" break.)

[@wayburn1]

No way. Having been on the wrong end of the winner breaks system it is totally unsportsmanlike. If a person or tournament host wants to do the winner breaks then it should be an exhibition match to show off a shooters prowess. After sitting out 3 or 4 games it is virtually impossible to catch up. Especially at this level.

[@johnstorton]

@@wayburn1 OMG!! LOL! I'm glad you responded. I knew what I was thinking, but I typed it wrong. I absolutely agree with you (with a caveat). As soon as I hit the reply button, I'll edit my above comment to say "...bury the WINNER break..." The caveat is that once the shooting player misses or fouls, the incoming play can also string some racks together. The thing is that when the end of the match is near, the shooting player has a great advantage. Once the match (to 11 er sumthin') is over, it might as well have been a race to about 3, ya know?) Sorry, you who have upvoted me. I did not say what I meant. I'll edit it now.

[@wayburn1]

@@johnstorton Yea back when I first started shooting 54 years ago it really didn't matter because nobody I played with could run the table and neither did I. But nowadays.....I play in a bar league and you pretty much get to miss 1 shot and the opponent runs out but even if he didn't he can play a good safety and your down the tubes. We use the alternating break thank goodness. I am just now learning the bad-leave-ball-in-hand way of winning games and it is really different.

I don't know how many games I lost because my opponent was 1 step ahead of me choking me with a bad leave then getting ball in hand and then running out...
