At approx 8:50 into the video they mention that Efren is playing with a $15.00 cue. Hard to recognize Efren at first .. very young!

Several players at the local pool hall have tried it. They all ordered one.
P
and it has a 5$ elk master tip on it. How many on here play like Efren? Raise your hand and be noticed

A 3k dollar cue and carbon fiber shafts are not a requirement for top notch play... 3k dollar cues are art ...
Locally made custom cue made by Jessie
Efren told us he won it in a game and used it as a breaker. He had a new shaft made for it by Jessie in Manila. It was over 60" and 21+ oz. Then used it as his player.
Collector Denny Glenn owns it now afaik.
I was always curious about the length of Efren's cues. I am 5'11 and a normal cue doesn't even reach my chin but his seem to always reach above his ear when he sets it on the floor. I don't know how tall he is but it just seemed to be a longer then normal cue.
He's around 5'7" ,5'8".
Joey, I don't think that was the jessie cue. That match was from 1988. He Didn't get the jessie till 1994.its the same one here, in this video from 1990.he won the Japan open with it. Untill it got stollen from a pool hall in 92 I believe.
Then it's a Boyet cue. Luat told me Efren used a Boyet cue. I have no idea who he was then.
Funniest story I heard was Efren had dinner with Gus Szambotti and he still stuck with his cheap cue.
He also had a Gina.
I heard about the boyet cue. I didn't realize it was that one.

I've owned a Cohen, beautiful cue, a piece of art almost, great ring work, etc, but a dead stick in my hands, I thought the shafts were horrible. I own a really nice Tascarella that is one of my favorite all time cues, but I've hit with others that had a completely different feel. I currently shoot with a Diveney that I like and own three others, all very consistent in how they play for me. I own some old Palmers, a couple of Lomax cues, a couple of Frey cues, OB cues, Dunkel Cues, Predator cues, etc...
I've owned 4 Lambros cues, still have one, they all play very consistently. To me that consistency is the hallmark of a quality cue maker. He is one of the best out there, like it or not. Doesn't mean everyone will like how his cues play, but he makes a quality product.
I was in Mike's shop today and was able to test hit his new cue design. I do NOT have an elite stroke and I was able to move the cue ball with much less effort. I'm no engineer, not a pro, or even a top amateur, but I could feel the difference immediately. Will this cue make me a pro? Hell no! Might this cue get me an extra ball or two in a match because I was able to make a tough shot with increased accuracy since I won't feel the need to force it? I can see that happening.
Stories are stories, some are backed up with facts,
The Efren could still play great off the wall with house cue.
It is Efrin’s skill that makes him great, and mussel memory from doing same thing or shiny right how many times in practice & play.
More drivel
Looks good. Custom sneaky. The guy though - shameless hype.
Is laughing about this around the holidaze wrong?He did say "mussel memory".
Morel dilemma.
