your wood shaft doesn't play any different with changes in the weather that is all horseshit. its not a golf club that bends with your swing. your swing is straight,

and even the old wood shafted golf clubs which i learned on didn't bend according to the weather. and if wood did that all the time, building houses would be a nightmare.

the cueball doesn't roll different because of the weather its the cloth that slows down the balls as it get more humid. i would guess because there is slightly more friction on a damper cloth.

Shafts are flexible and bend during a shot, some more and some less but they do bend and vibrate and work a bit like s spring.
Humidity and weather will affect that, might not be noticeable with all shafts but it’s there.
But that’s not the big issue.
Flying across the world for a tournament, getting your cue out and realize that the shaft has warped is not fun… finding an annoying ding in it is also not fun, finding a cue repair shop that you can trust across the world is not fun.
Non of these are issues with CF shafts.
Quiet mind when it comes to the personal equipment is golden and worth every penny and the phase it takes to get used to CF.

Haven't ordered it yet but I'll get it from the billiard factory at the out skirts of Houston! I'll call about it next monday or Tuesday.

to be fair it doesnt look like it should work. but my feeling is that particular one isnt going to be workable. but future things refined might make tipping easier for most and much quicker.

its like clipping and sanding your fingernails. you could make all sorts of gizmos for it but simply a nail clipper and a nail file work the best.

True, but NO top athlete in Any sport is FAT....
Have em play any player in top shape over 4 rounds....(Golf/Comparison) four days straight.
Ronnie O'sullivan ain't overweight, any great player in ANY sport is in SHAPE and not round.
Now if this man trimmed down about 40 lbs, then matters change dramatically.

That’s an English Beer Belly, it makes him shoot better

I think that Bergman is a monster barbox player, but Tom is a bit better. The approach is a bit better coming from English pool and his mental game is stronger. The end result reflects this.

Score?

I use this cue every day and it's great. the original tip left visible scratch marks on the cloth and was too slippery for jump shots imo. I replaced it with taom BJ3 and now it's perfect.
