When the opportunity presented itself in 2005, Harrison accepted an invitation for entry into the International Pool Tour, an event founded and administrated by American businessman Kevin Trudeau.

A recent (November 2017) study of Herts Pool Tour results since 2012 have revealed the following statistics: Deciding frames record overall: Played 26 - Won 16 (62%) - Lost 10 Deciding frames record since the start of 2016: Played 8 - Won 6 (75%) - Lost 2 Matches "won-to-nil" (whitewashes) since 2012: 18 Among these eighteen "wins to nil" were wins over previous Herts Tour event winners John Roe and Rich Wharton, along with former professionals Jimmy Croxton, Ian Hubbard and Steve Kane.
Harrison is partially deaf, but much like American professional player Shane Van Boening, it doesn't hamper his game.
