I got suspicious when cigarettes went to $20.00 a carton and bailed.

My GC4... I swear the corners were 5.25.

Smooth stroke or whatever is about consistency. I know I've personally shot something absolutely shitty and it still went in in spite of myself.

If a shot can be made 9/10 with a smooth stroke it might be made 2/10 with something wonky because there is no consistency.

Yep - angle, spot & speed (ASS).


All of that matters, but only for delivering the cue to the cue ball at the correct Angle, Spot and Speed.

The forces one develops and tries to perfect as a player don't exist in a vacuum.
Straight is easy to remember. Inertia is hard to forget.
Why this matters is: the more complicated your launch sequence, the more stuff that can be influenced to go awry.
Further, the closer to perfection you are, that which can be influenced will have less wiggle room and maybe negligible effect towards failure.

Here is my D-2, I bought it new in 1984 in a shop in Bossier City LA. It’s still in good condition.

This guy don't mess around when he's selling something. GREAT GUY TO DEAL WITH .100%

$30 PPV for a 6 match exhibition is wack. Curious business decision too as I can’t imagine a lot of the people who pay for WNT.TV are going to be real happy about that.

And get the pockets under 6".

Shafts I own:
Hsunami V1 Keilwood
Diveney Keilwood
Kent Davis Maple
Cohen Maple
Jacoby V4 carbon
Pechauer V2 carbon
Rhino carbon
etc


Still 463 fargo, deflection is not my issue and tbh, I feel, as an item to be considered, so far down the list as to be nonexistent. I am sure at the upper echelons a factor but with all of the other physics, I have my hands full. If I didn’t have fun spending money, I would have stuck with my 30 year old Sneaky.
