Do you think if you tried a 12.5mm CF shaft with a taper you liked might change your opinion? I decided on Kielwood but maybe CF could be different with a shaft size and taper you prefer. It be might worth checking out to be absolutely sure.

In my experience shaft size does not as much difference with a CF shaft compared to a wood shaft, I own 11.8, 12.0 and 12.4 CF shafts, I use Becue cues and their shafts are designed for different hits, my 11.8 and 12.4 play like a CF shaft, my 12.0 is designed to play more like a wooden shaft, to me it's the best balance of CF to wood like hit, all CF shafts are not created equal IMHO

civil defense makes similar now. does what you say, rifle speeds, but shallow penetration. may not get deep enough.

‘Penetration’. A likely minor issue compared to ‘hydrostatic shock’, which is probably what initially discourages aggression (universal organ disruption). Of course, when major organs ARE penetrated, perpetrator recovery may be hindered/suppressed (?). But, even when the aorta or cardiac chambers are punctured, the time it takes to shut down the cerebral blood supply is still plenty enough to swing a blade or empty a clip (not impossible with those shot 17 times with over-penetrating 9mm hardball).

Crouch cues noted. I will have to see if he has in stock ready to ship cues.

Skyler's game strikes me as tired; Jesus the opposite. As for Tyler and Billy, Jesus all the way. I hope he achieves to the level of his talent.

My guy is familiar with all of them, I feel like you 2 would be the greatest melding of the minds. I don't doubt your contribution to OUR game, I just don't think some people have been given the platform they deserve

I’m happy to say I’m wrong if you say he’s legit. Looking forward to finding out more.

I think they meant Crouch (Jamie).

Thanks, Jason. There’s like one person… One name and if that’s the name… Brother, I’ll say yeah I can understand that, but it would be really a weird coincidence.

The one name… Don the Preacher Feeney. He understood l The value of low deflection back in the 1980s, but he didnt understand as we came to understand how to truly make a low deflection cue.

Ill ask him. He's one of the greatest historians of the game. I mentioned the dates you suggested, he was adamant about it, I have the highest regard for you and your thoughts(seriously) if he tells me something different, I gotta go woth him.

He mentioned Neville Chamberands book 1991

Said he didnt understand it till years later and started teaching it in 95.

I have several 5/16-14 and radial I am not using. Standard maple, haven’t really checked most of them since I use kielwood shafts. Would be willing to show off some and if any of them work, sell them for $70-85 shipped. The further from me that you are, would increase only the shipping cost.

No, just a booth at wingstop, what did you think I was referring to?
