Lowest deflection kielwood

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.

tip technology - hardness at center different from hardness at edges

I've seen this in some new designed tips for example TOAM fusion and ZAN. Probably some more have designed such tips where the companies states that the tip is engineered to have softer edges and in the middle they are a bit harder. They claim that the design of harder center gives more power transmission and the softer edges for maximum control? I really don't know how they came up with that claim.

Bob Meucci on the other hand has an old lesson video available on YouTube from 2015, in that video he speaks of tip ultimate shape and he also spoke during the video about how it is beneficial to have a harder edges and softer center which is in his explanation the best hardness of a tip, he claims what one can do is to pound the edges hard after installation.

So you can see where I am going with this, both of these guys gave claims (The companies harder center and soft edges, Bob harder edges and soft center) claiming that it is better but they have opposing views. My question for you guys, do you get why would one want one or the other? And is it really beneficial if you have tried one.

If yes, then which one is the correct claim.

P.S. Here's the video from where bob talks about the shape and hardness, go to the 3:20 in the video.

The TAOM Fusion tip was the last tip I tried before going to the Bulletproof Recoil tip, I thought it would be similar to the Kamui Athlete tip but it was much harder, I was not a fan of hard tips but if I try a new tip I like to give it a couple of months before giving up on it, after a while I grew to like a hard tip, the Bulletproof Recoil tip is a BCA legal synthetic tip, not leather, I was reluctant to try it but it wouldn't be the first tip I tried and moved on from, it's been almost a year and I love these tips, I knew it within the first hour of playing with them, I don't know what the other tips play like but after a year I like these tips better than I first got it, if you're searching it's worth a look.

Show me where I said a 600 Fargo was a beginner...now you're just making shit up lol.

You don't think claiming home field advantage doesn't exist is ignorant?

Have fun in NPR buddy. I'm sure you're a 700 there.

I challenge you to make a few posts in a row without trying to insult someone.

I could care less about your opinion, especially a person who makes up accomplishments to stroke their ego.

One more challenge: show me a video of any 600 running a 7-pack and I'll delete my account. Apparently you are the only person in the world to achieve this. Show proof or you're just talking out of your ass.

I'll say this, when I lived in AZ for a year I drilled a 10 and a 10+1 nuts in playing even 9 ball. The 10+1 was so mad he tried getting me kicked out of playing basically anywhere lol. He though he smelled something sweet, instead he got a dose that left him sore for a week 🤣.

Im sure somebody on here can equate 10 and 10+1 speed to Fargo, I think the highest rating out there was 10+2 and im thinking only Scott Frost and Roger Griffis(RIP) were that rating.

All the $$$ out there was in the 7 and under and 8 and under tournaments. Sadly got sent out of town for work before I could rob those and everybody in them who gambled. I almost blew my cover completely with that 10+1. 🤣 it was like an hr from where I lived, unfortunately, that wasn't far enough

Those days are long behind me, I don't have the ambition and I really don't like taking peoples money except in poker.
