There is no such thing as free shipping, despite what Amazon and Walmart want you to think.

It means the tip will stay in contact to the cueball a fraction of millisecond longer dueto the shaft being sprung back, where as with Carbon, the CB would just go by a fraction faster

That is what I think, too.

I wanted the doctor to explain it.

There are a lot of people on here who think otherwise.

I forget what they called the soft ferrule when they didn't want to call it a ferrule. However, I always figured that the soft ferrule was to kill the resonance and keep the carbon fiber shaft from sounding like the hollow glass shafts.

Using foam in different places to tune the shaft is taking things to another level. Long ago there were images of the spliced wooden shafts that showed some interior horror stories of the hollow portion being off to one side and such. Easy to forget that the original reason for spliced shafts was to use up crappy blanks. CF should be a substantial step above that.

Part of me wants to get my back in a corner and scream "wood is real!" However, just looking at other sports I always expected wood to become outdated. Hard to beat a good wooden shaft and I don't know that CF has but if it hasn't it will. One reason is that it can deliver consistency that wood can't.

My favorite thing about Becue CF shafts is there consistency, they also build shafts for different types of hit and feel, my favorite is the Prime II 12.0, flex and feedback of a wooden shaft and energy transfer of a CF shaft, I don't know what else you could want except a "miss proof" shaft, man do I need one of those......

Looking for a 60” cue from top makers. Mainly looking for a playing cue rather than a collector.

Thanks!!

Do you consider Mike Gulyassy a "top maker"?

Earl Strickland does.

If the cue ball comes off the tip in a millisecond, or so, where does the "whippiness" of the shaft come into play?

Hasn't the contact between the tip and the cue ball been broken before the shaft begins to whip?

It means the tip will stay in contact to the cueball a fraction of millisecond longer dueto the shaft being sprung back, where as with Carbon, the CB would just go by a fraction faster

Deflection is important for aiming - not for swerve/masse.

You're entitled to your beliefs, but I don't think the two have anything to do with each other. Deflection only affects the immediate initial direction of the CB, which is more accurately controlled by simply aiming.

Then you are saying a carbon fiber shaft and a maple shaft deflect equally? Low deflection shafts don't end their characteristics with just deflection. I may not have it right, but I would think that a low deflection shaft does not have the torque upon impact that a maple shaft does. That torque would probably allow you to get more action on the cue ball for masse shots. Again, a rigid no deflection carbon fiber shaft doesn't stop just at deflection, those characteristics are applied to every type of shot.

Was going to buy a few small items from seyberts and was astounded buy the shipping charges. The cheapest shipping option cost more than everything else. Is this normal? Do they really try to push the $99+ free shipping deal or what?

Where it is shipping to? Remember, Trump tariff and also the shipping cost went sky high.

I usually shipped my cue with ups Canada, for a value 50$ i still have to pay 30% tax on tariff. So be careful.

Hard to buy small items from these sellers when you can get free shipping on the same items with Amazon prime or Amazon purchases that total $25 or so. Also many eBay sellers are now going with free shipping.

Do you think the player was playing that path to the back of the green? Was that his intended shot?

I like to think so. But in truth, no, he was probably trying to contact the ob a tad thicker and come back the other side of the green. But incredibly difficult at that distance having to bridge over the ball like he did.

i understand why they do it, but their tables are already slow with worn cloth and humid weather. constantly adding talc to the cloth is hardly helpful in that regard.. i would probably be annoyed by the practice
