Cuetecs have ridiculously skinny joint size.
I think the original designer was just clueless.
Today, even skinny cf cues have joint size around .840". Cuetecs are much thinner .
Cues in 80's were already much slimmer than the old school Cues.
People are taller todays. Kids are getting bigger...
Funny , but some of Efren's backers did not show up at the venue on the third night because Efren was getting clobbered.
More interesting facts about this match;
It was supposed to.be race to 100 ..It was stretched to 120 somehow.

Earl let up at 104-87 then Efren's break started working . Efren slow rolled a little and played real good safes .
Caught up Earl at 111. They tied again at 117. Earl breaks and scratches . And from there he just lost his marbles .

Most will tell you why his cues command...
His veneers are not flat pieces of dyed wood.
They are V shaped woods he cuts and dyes himself. That's why you don't see a vertical line where they meet at the top.
His inlay over inlay is second to none.
The internals are pretty much perfect.
