    The Young Efren

    I didn't realize that Boy Bicol was before Efren. I heard a pretty scary story about his demise.

    Slip Stic Product ??????

    I had great business transactions with him. I really like the product and am sorry to hear of peoples problems with him. Somtimes things get overwhelming quickly and good people get buried even though initially their intentions were pure. Hope things get better for him and no one here had food...

    Kim Davenport

    I don't know if Kim's eyesight is 100% but 6 or 8 months ago he played Liability with Morro on Big Bertha at Hard Times and won big time. The guys that play Golf there daily are always lagging but both Morro and Kim were firing the balls in. That is a 6' x 12' with super tight pockets. Kim, who...

    What is the IPT's angle now

    A guy at the pool hall had KT"s book and I looked at it. He didn't offer cures as you implied but simply referred you to other books written about various ailments by doctors. I am familiar with his history. I am pleasantly surprised he has been paying the players. I also suspect that if just a...

    Hal Houle

    It is hard to learn that system over the phone. However, I'm sure that like his other systems it would be much easier in person.

    Cocobolo and mystery wood from LATH?

    Martin, a couple of months ago they had an article in National Geographic about violin bows made of Pernambuco. There is one bow that goes with a Stradavarius that is over 200 years old and is worth more than $40,000. The owner of the violin says that the bow brings more color to the sounds...

    The Geezer Thread

    During my drinking days I would play on a bar table when my elbow got tired of liftting drinks. My eyes were good and I could roll the big rock pretty accurately. I stopped drinking, usually a fifth a day, and didn't play any pool until I hit 60. Then a friend took me to room that had a 9 ft...

    Old People Hate The Measle Ball

    A few years ago there was a long thread on CCB about the measle ball. It seems that when all the scientists got done there seemed to be a difference in the phenolic density that made it react differently on contact with the OB and the weight differential was neglible. ??? I know that I prefer...

    Aging players and skill level

    Efren has been in the LA area and been in constant action. This afternoon he took down Bernardo "King Kong" Chavez 5-1 playing 10-6. Efren was obviously really enjoying himself. I don't think anyone has a passion for pool that can compare with Efren's. He just plain LOVES to play!

    Show me the $$$$

    Intent was obvious. Chances are that our curiosity will not be satisfied. If in the event our curiosity is satisfied I'm pretty sure it will have been worth the wait. In the mean time I find it easier than some to cut Fatboy some slack as this thread is not near as inane as many threads I find...

    Efren playing Tang Hoa tonight at Hard Times?

    He was at Hard Times a little after noon today with Danny Petralba. Efren was playing rotation while Danny was working the phone. I think 11/7 is Efren and Tang's normal game when Efren is in So. Cal.
