"When Charlie Williams invited me to play I got very excited! I love all the disciplines in the game, especially straight pool! I have a Gold Crown 3 at home and play all I can. I know a lot of the pros from being on the road with my band. Every day off, I was somewhere matched up with someone. I've played several players before they became pros with the likes of Scott Frost, Chris Bartram and many others. I used to get handicaps from Jose Parica, CJ Wiley and other great players. John Schmidt has helped me a lot with my game of late. He's a wonderful instructor and a great player & friend.
I have so much respect for all the pros of today and the past!
I know how hard this game is to play at the highest level.
I'm looking forward to playing, watching matches and meeting all the players!! I'm sure I will have a blast and I know a lot of Great White fans will be tuning into the stream as well!!

Throughout a decade, Dragon Promotions has been able to revitalize straight pool back into the sport and to new audiences. In 2006, straight pool was near it’s complete death in the US. Since then we have poured our resources in media, finance, and know-how to grow the popularity of 14.1. Today, the consensus among the professionals on tour is that the World 14.1 is one of, if not the most, important titles to win in America. Something not expected decades ago.
