Back to my original question, why would you do anything and I mean anything that would take away from the value of your product you're trying to sell?
Was the choice of gray just arbitrary, or do they actually think this adds value to their product.

I think shark gray is the easiest to see the balls on, but blue and green are fine too.

I doubt people would watch more or less based on table cloth color, however.

Making it unwatchable? I can understand not liking it as much... but unwatchable? A color?

When it comes to choosing a shaft, Is deflection the only factor?

You are spot on about shaft diameter and once you starting going smaller than 12.5mm, the weight of the shaft gets
lower unless you artificially added weight. That’s easily understandable since there would be less mass. I had 3 noteworthy cue makers advise me the KW shafts I was looking to have built couldn’t be made without adding an insert.

I scoffed at that notion and just kept searching for cue makers. I mean it is just common sense that all you need is a heavier blank which means being selective with your wood inventory. The fact some cue makers do, whereas a lot of cue makers apparently don’t, have a diverse wood inventory is likely a contributing factor, if not the underlying reason, why I was misinformed by many cue makers I spoke with. Well, I have the shafts in my case & shaft weight does matter. One of my flat faced KW shafts is 12.55mm, 4.1 ozs and is just tip, small ferrule, phenolic black 1/2” collar & KW wood.

Agreed.

I bought a used Shelby with two shafts. One was 4 ounces the other like 3.2, both with 12.25 tips. Called Shelby, he searched his inventory and made me a nice 4 ounce shaft. For me, too light a front end feels like the shaft is trying to float away from my bridge hand.

Funny you mention this, I'm watching table 2 and holy crap does it look dull in there. Even a coworker of mine, who is not into pro pool was wondering why it seemed like everything was washed out. He even said, "I thought pool was played on a green cloth with colorful balls, why are they playing on this?"

Now that you mention it, I agree...I am OK with the gray, but I don't like the ball color at all
