And earl had the highest gear of all time . Even today it’s that high , ask Jason Shaw 2 years ago at Rolling Stones tourney , earl beat him to a race to 9 I think in less than 25 min , he still has a high gear , it just doesn’t come out as much lol

Keith is really something, a crouch like stance but still upright , a higher looped bridge . Cue far from his body, a side stroke. A single stroke mostly. He seems to shove the cue ball. Fast , very fast , runs around the table and despite all that does not miss. Awesome.

I think Earl likes Keith which is why he didn’t bust his chops. Both started around the same time (sort of). Keith’s resume doesn’t come close to Earls who in my opinion is the undisputed King of 9-ball but I sense mutual respect. I actually watched Keith go hill hill against Earl a few times, yes Keith can play. Thank you for the video.

We still play loser racks where I play. Old bar box table too. Just 1 table in there. And the amount of people we have show up for tournaments to play the old school way, is insane. Sometimes go on for days. I’ve seen more impressive playing on that little table than I do at most tournaments. We also do completely random doubles tournaments, talk about an absolute blast, that one’s just more for fun though. And it is lol. You never know who you’ll get stuck with, or who will get stuck with you 🤣😂

Most players lose talent not from age but from bad playing habits.. Keith on regular days plays for money with tavern people people he can beat by playing his worst game problem is he brings that to the tournaments..his good games are genius.. Strickland protects his talent but is impatient n bad tempered.. Keith took out Reyes at his best head to head then drinking and bad playing practice took over sadly but he was a joy to watch
