A match between Earl Strickland and Mike DeChaine on the Predator Pro Billiards Series is making rounds in the community right now, and if you follow competitive 10-ball at all, you already know why those two names in the same bracket get attention.
Strickland needs no introduction in this room. Decades of elite-level play, a reputation for being relentless under pressure, and a style that has never softened. DeChaine brings a completely different energy — methodical, precise, the kind of player who makes you pay for every mistake you leave on the table.
According to a thread circulating on r/billiards, footage from Part 3 of their matchup has been posted and is worth watching in full. The Predator Pro Am Tour format keeps the competition tight, and 10-ball gives both players room to show what they actually have.
