if your plowing your raking in the bucks unless you got yearly contracts.
and a plugin block heater, or a tarp and a space heater under it the night before on a timer, solves most starting issues at any temp.

For what it is worth:

The best kielwood shaft I have played (and own) comes from a guy out of Washington state (IMO of course). Bryan Covey sp? (BC Cues) makes them. They are 6 piece pie cut with a 1mm hollow core. His shafts just feel "right". I met him at the Expo a few years ago and bought one of his cues, I liked the shaft so much I had him make me one for my main player (Schon). I highly suggest you try one of his shafts at the expo if you get a chance.

Hsunami 1.0: This is a close second to the BC shaft. For me this shaft really excels at remaining stable while powering the ball around the table. Firm hit but feels great. If you like to move the ball a lot I suggest trying one.

Lucasi Infuzed: I never got along with this shaft. I am sure it works for some people, but not for my game.

Pure X: This shaft was a surprise. It played a lot like a 314-3 to me (which is a good thing) For the price I got it used it is not going anywhere.

Meucci KW: A friend has one of these and it plays quite similar to their standard Pro shaft.

I have yet to get my hands on a Hsunami 2.0, but would like to try one someday.

Interesting. I considered getting a Pure X late last year. The only reason I didn't buy it because there was no stock for a radial pin. I ended up getting a Fortis Pro which I don't have any regret at all.

He knows everyone personally that plays near his speed. He could just text/dm them.
He knows anyone in the area that could give him a bit of a challenge with a spot.
He didn't post this for actual practice.
It's just a cash grab.

and with gaffed equipment. who knows how much other stuff is, other than the greased cue ball.

he has 5 tries for each at a 1000 or more a pop in a regular pool room.

That would be illogical Captain.

now if smart, make the deal to include what you want from it. then it is fair.

Even at that level it's just hoorah. (learned the term from some book) No ringers you can import, make a real game?

Bump

Today we had a reprieve from the snow, but it won't be for long. Another petty amount tomorrow evening into Wednesday. Just enough again to waste time and salt.

Today instead of sleeping, I spent my time fixing a couple shattered bump stomps on some plows, a shattered cutting edge, and two shattered tail lights on trucks. It's incredible how much easier stuff is to break when it's sub zero. You can hit the same curb 500 times going 5mph when it's 25F out and nothing will break, plow trips like it should and no harm is done. When it's -5* and you hit that curb going 5mph, you're gonna possibly need a new cutting edge, curb guard, bump stop, A-frame, coupler, you name it.

A slight miracle happened and I got a call that I could pick up a small load of salt. It's only 5 tons, but it'll get me through the week if I ration it. Should be enough time for a few barges to get unloaded and out into the market (hopefully).

Gettin the ol pig 7.3l power stroke started to go get that salt was a different story.. After about 2 hours, 2 cans of ether, a tin bushel basket full of hot coals under the oil pan, and some begging / pleading, I got the big bitch started. Never even got warmed up enough to defrost the windshield after driving it for an hour. Gotta love those stone age diesels..

Personally, I loved it. There’s some insight there I’ve not heard before, and it’s well presented and organized. I actually watched it through twice the other day when I first noticed it, and picked up some things that have altered my thoughts on practicing.

Keep it up!

Absolutely brilliant!

your shaft is the cheapest part of your cue. so it makes sense to have the shaft you want. and its also the most important part as far as your shooting. so same for that.

we all have our own ideas about shafts. but if you are arguing because of costs, then you lost already. because of the butt shaft cost relationship.

that isnt a slip stroke.

In the Aiming Pit where nitty logic, pedantic semantics, and who called - is everything, oh wait, forgot preshot sequence, it still comes out slip stroke.
Ingredients:
1/2 + a pinch more stroke
1 full slip

Have at...
