Efren's old school videos!

Cool! Thanks for posting these. I just knew I was going to get rick roll'd though. I was pleasantly surprised.

That force shot to bend the cue ball into the rail to go in between the 6 & 7 was sick.
 
I've been awake for almost 2 days now, can't do anything but surf the net.
We are on standby here in San Diego, wildfires all over the place. The Sta.
Ana winds made it even more difficult, the smoke irritates the eyes and the
air is killing our lungs... :(
 
Nice selection, thanks for the link to these videos. The 2-rail kick by Efren against Earl, shows why he is called The Magician.

Gabe Owen is phenominal, especially considering how nervous he was.

I wonder how Chena plays
 
some thoughts after watching those video's:

I dont miss that slow cloth

I miss Johnnie Ervilino(SP?)

Efren didnt shit that Z stroke shot in, in the second video.

Earl was a great sport.

Efren is the best ever, I have said that since 86.

What cloth did they use back in the day?

Usually Stevens, as I remember it came in different weights, i'm not sure. it teaches you how to stroke a ball, it is very unforgiving if you poke the rock you get no action on it at all, with Simonis you can hit a ball bad and still get some response therefore when America switched to Simonis in around 87 everybodys game jumped a couple balls, it totally changed the game, look at Keiths huge stroke or Kim's powerful stroke. I was making the transition from C+ to B- player when it changed, looking back I wish I had a few more years on it. Cues typically were heavier too 19.75 was about the average around the places I played, we all witched to lighter cues and thinner shafts over a couple year period of time. It did have a big effect on the game, the biggest I can think of since then.

Thanks for your concern gotgame. I live in Rancho Bernardo, which was hit
hardest. I was watching the news on TV all day here in an inn near downtown
SD where me and my family are holed for the past 3 days and they were
showing clips of burning houses 2 blocks west of my place and an apartment/
condo complex 3 blocks north. I kept calling my phone and my answering
machine is just working fine, which is good news for us.
