Not sure what you are watching, but I see more than a few high-level players playing with Kielwood now. Justin, Tyler, Billy, Rodney, Johnny, occasionally Corey come to mind, I'm sure there are others I'm not thinking of. There are a number in WPBA using them and if you watch any of the Ultimate Pool Open events it appears about 50% of those guys are using it.

They worried about gambling when 90% of the pool population were slowing killing themselves and everyone around them with the cigarettes.
The no gambling signs - pool’s attempt to keep cops out and convey some sense of a decent place to visit as far as general and governing society was concerned.

100%. Unless you are using a robot to strike the ball and a jig to set it up, "deflection" tests are just silly. They just break down to a guy guessing where and how hard he is hitting at a ruler taped to the short rail. Testing requires perfect consistency, something humans cannot do.

Segen cues seem to be really underrated. I feel that their cues hit super nice. Super solid. I love their unique piloted radial looking joint.

No one here has that ability. It's all opinion and subjective.

Yup. Hate calcuttas. They extend already long tournaments. Just do a side pot. The guys running the Calcuttas love to hear themselves talk and the degenerate gamblers love it too.

I guess my point was that people enjoy the feel of wood, and how it does deflect the ball. Deflection is not a bad thing if you know how to use it?, and it also feels good to people. I used a friend's KW yesterday, it's sound was a bit different, but the biggest aspect that I liked about it was the aesthetics, how it 'can' compliment the color scheme.
