It seems to be a recurring theme that Earl hasn't been to semi's and final's in a while. One reason for this is poor health. His back has been really bad among other things. I've heard he feels like he's about to make a big comeback and that his health is improving. Another good Earl stat besides the championships is that he has the best Mosconi Cup record ever.

Efren's a Player's player. I'm lucky in that I get to watch him practice every time he comes to the USA. He hangs at HT in Bellflower, CA. where serious So. Calif. Players gamble and play. I just grab a coffee and sit down to watch this Master throw 15 balls on the table and effortlessly make them all...in order!! Betcha not many pro players can do that...precision shape and speed is what is required....and a knowledge of physics.

You're very luck that you get to watch him for free. It's like watching Jordan shoot hoops at your local gym. The game you described sounds like Rotation, similar to 9-ball but played with all 15 balls. They say that's why filipino players kick so well.
