The Willie Hoppe Story

[Texas Carom Club]

Good point whiz

I posted a thread with this vid and all the others I could find with hoppe shooting in the carom section

I wish there were some of hoppe's matches online to view
Would like to see him play each of the games straight talk balkline and 3c

What is the connection between Hoppe rings and Willie Hoppe? Why are they called Hoppe rings?

I want to say Beacusd of the Wille hoppe Pro cue produced by Brunswick that had an ivory ring at the bottom between butt sleeve and butt cap.
