The Pause

Allen was a straight pool champion. The short jab stroke could provide precision over power.
A straight pool required precision put on display in the current record holder. He brings the power And precision And he's looking at whitey when he's launching it. 🤷‍♂️
Mizerak, Sigel, Rempe and Varner were straight pool players to but with powerful strokes.Hopkins never had a power stroke.

How many cues is too much?

Steve only collected Quality, Big Names, and Collectables.

Not into quantity over quality.
You knew him too? Great guy, wouldn't even mind that you didn't spell his name right.

I have a couple cues from his collection.

Tikkler quotes:

"As far as playability goes, that is such a personal thing that a $500 cue could play 10 times better than a $5000 cue"

"I absolutely love all cues."

The Pause

Hopkins stroke had no power.Many players with powerful strokes such as Buddy and Earl have a pause at the end the backstroke, none have jabbing stroke like Allen.
