Predator LE6 Purpleheart cue and Joss Northeast 9 Ball Tour cue are still available at great prices

I have not read through all of the posts, But I just think the world of Ernie Martinez. Such a great cue maker with a sense of humor and very humble. He is a real treasure in this little world of ours!

If you use side spin of any kind then deflection is an issue to deal with regardless of your skill level, unless you're OK with missing the shot

I miss all kinds of shots and I understand deflection. Not a hard concept. My point is, if I can’t deliver a stroke deflection is moot. As others have pointed out, one can compensate based on the understanding of their equipment.

When I stack rank items of importance from my delivery to my equipment, buying the latest low deflection device relative to the low deflection devices I already own is a fool’s errand. I need more reps, more table time, more Dr. Dave videos, not another shaft…

I was in no way "shitting" on someone's cue...wow I was actually complementing the flooring. No wonder people are apprehensive to post

It truly is a well done floor! clean lines, even grout joints, not super wide grout joints, Nice and flat with no high or low tiles. Ya know, The way it should be but usually isn't.

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.

Look for scrimshaw artists or custom knife makers within your state.
