Not following through on the 'same plane the cue started on'! On a Draw shots mediocre players 'Scoop down' too low on the CB.

The 'Carom & 3C' game He started with is what made Efren the Best player of His time at Pool!

I've been doing that since 81 with my 'Modified McDermott C3'! I put separated 'Cotton Balls' to fill in the 6"-10" weight bolt hole, this gives the cue 'Less Vibration'! Sometimes if the butt needs a 1/4 oz weight, I put the cotton balls in up to the point I grip the cue 95% of the time. Butt...

It's a very simple Carom cue, Burgandy-stained Birdseye Maple. In 1990 my friend Paul Jones was in OK spoke with John, about me. He'd said He had never built a Carom cue. He called me, I gave John all the specs I prefer over the phone. 3 months later, the cue arrived at my home, the cue came...

Rich, I got the Best Butt (John Guffey cue) back from You! It was a miracle after having it stolen from 20 years past! Thanks again so much!

I think You're basing your opinion in World Cups! If He had stayed in the UMB, no one could say how He'd prevail. Just by 'non-conventional' shot selections. Many times, playing just for the hit on the OB with not a lot of concern for speed. By his own admission he only plays position 25% of...

TB certainly changed the 'Style of game' for many players, I've never been a fan of it! Jaspers has been in the Top 4 rankings for many years! I don't think many sponsors would think that format would be 'Profitable'! The GOAT of 'All Around Carom Billiards' is Caudron by far!

Dave, 'Mary Kaye' was AVP's prime customer! A lot of pink packaging.

Both Jaspers and Caudron have 30 years on him! So maybe 'Long' match could go his way!

You must have missed the 600-point match where Caudron beat Jaspers, 600-500!

Jaspers is the 'Most Technical' player. Caudron is the 'Most Knowledgeable Natural' player! He took the Mantel from Ceulemans!

His 'Short piston' stroke was very effective/accurate! Plus I don't think he used much 'Sidespin', so it appeared he hit shots a little harder than most.

Since 1987 I've been playing ALL cue games with a 'Carom Cue'.

In the 60's a cue-maker/3C player (Bill Hawkins) from Decatur, IL. He used an Aluminum shaft insert and installed an Aluminum pin in the ferrule! Thet made a terrible sound!

Well, I'll assume He evolved the 'Swoop' to be 'Consistent! Many Top 3C players of the early 20th Century had Side-arm strokes. I believe 'Early learning age' is a Big part of it. BTW, Efren had one of the Worst 'Rolling/up & down' strokes I'd seen when he first came around!

Nothing 'wrong' with a 'Side-Arm' stroke as long as it's delivered 'Straight'! From Bud Harris, he told me Professor Perkins taught Cochran. Cochran was instrumental in Jimmy Lee's game and in turn, Lee helped Bud's game.

A Very good friend of mine, George Aronek and to the US 3 Cushion world died today! George was 98, He contracted Covid and was in a nursing home and died in His sleep. George was a past Great President of THE BILLIARD FEDERATION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA! He's with His longtime Pal...
