My last two purchases from AZers out west have gone astray. Not lost, but frustrating.

One went to a Michigan facility less than an hour away only to be sent three hours west which resulted in a three hour delay. I am now waiting for a shaft which went from being a hour south to over three hours more further south.

Just sayin

Read up on the Traveling Salesman problem. I think they've solved it too. Pass it on to the customer.

Deflection question, explain how a stiffer CF shaft has less deflection.

You're barking up the wrong tree. Stiffness affecting CB squirt is as big a myth as pro's don't drop their elbows.

There is even one guy on these forums years ago that took a shaft and whittled it away in the bridge area so it looked like a dog chewed on it. It made a localized area very thin, so the shaft would have a lot of flex, without affecting the mass near the tip much. It squirted the same. I forget who did it now, it was probably 20 years ago. There might have even been a youtube video. Pat was around then, he might remember.

I'd wager if you cut a shaft in two pieces 1 foot from the tip, and put a joint at the cut made of a spring, the deflection would be the almost identical.

The "Beaver Cue" experiment was done by Mike Page. I also recreated it with careful measurements, as documented in this article:

“Return of the squirt robot” (BD, August, 2008)

The experimental results in this article might also be of interest:

Aloysius Yapp Makes History With Florida Open Triumph – 2025 LiveSB.io Florida Open Pool Championship

azhousepro
Aloysius Yapp etched his name into history, claiming the inaugural Florida Open Pool Championship title after a gripping victory over Shane Van Boening at the Caribe Royale Resort in Orlando. In doing so, the Singaporean became the first player ever to win back-to-back WNT Open events, adding the Florida crown to his UK Open triumph earlier this year. “I can’t believe it – honestly, I’m still in shock. Shane is such a phenomenal player and someone I have so much respect for – one of the greatest of all time. At the start of the year, I told myself I wanted […]

"A 1200lb Daimond table is not going to be effected by a 175lb guy standing on it for one minute" >>> only takes a second. And if they step on a rail...The rail is bulletproof?

Let's try this... is it inappropriate? If it was yours would you enter the person dancing on the table ...America Has Talent or Dancing With The Stars?
Anyway...no chance the cloth can get damaged? None right?

My friends son had his friends over...tells me one guy got up the table and what would I do? Aside from paying for any damage he'd never be allowed back to that room.

Seriously if the owners don't mind and the crowd loves it ...WTF.

The great debate continues.........

Solution:
Make pool studio. 1 cheap addition, 1 buttressed (cheaply) pool table, 1K per hour rate.

Yes if you have two shafts which are similar build but vary in flexibility. Then you can learn something potentially

Hopefully with more than 2 but it's tough. Science is hard
