Sigel just shook his head... Just another day with Earl

I have an OB + 5/16x14 shaft only and a full OB cue butt + shaft OB - 1+. I can send you pictures

Those are the same specs/tolerances

I think Miz would have been a solid tier above the field in his prime, same with Sigel

same thing later with Efren and Earl

Even if they could not take their current equipment with them? And, had to play with what was available, in 1990, for example? Back then, there were no LD shafts, or Layered tips, or high tech break cues, and jump cues

Yes they would be better. Enough better. I believe that you know this.

LD shafts make a (marginal) difference on some shots and today's elite players have an equipment advantage on those shots. For most shots though, no difference. Layered tips? Again, same same.

Jump cues? The idea that the golden oldies were better at kicking because nowadays it's all jumping is not grounded in reality, it's just a nice idea.

Hig tech break cues? If the break was as understood in the 70s as it is now then the standard fornat in the 70s would have been alternate breaks. And it would be the "tradition".

You're point is wrong. You are too stubborn to listen.

What did I miss? Why does the shoulder have to move?

Thanks Mike, didn’t seem right to me. Unfortunately I’m sure I’ll get this one back again, customer insists on using it as a break cue and playing cue. I discussed it with him(long time customer) and expects it to break again but wants it to play the same.
