LOL!

I was about to ask how you could tell the difference between age and whatever you said he did. I was skeptical.

Internet myth?

It's too late. Someone will read your post, without reading the follow up, and quote it on Reddit.

Someday a historian will find it and it will become an internet archeological discovery. It will be in their PhD dissertation.

The future is screwed. LOL!

You're not completely wrong. AI doesn't seem to know the difference between what's real and what's a joke. I've read some really messed up information lately.

It doesn't really matter.. the KU-Bumpers out of the box are useless unless you know how he treated them. He had a solution to change the durometer rating of the rubber, which is why they have tape around them. So his are a little more dense than the stock KU bumper.

I was waiting for you to say he soaked the bumpers in rhinoceros piss to harden them.

Even if so, why bother with the tape? The bumper is screwed on and the gap is negligible, of no functional concern.

For what it's worth I've heard two theories on the masking tape. One, from someone else, the bumper was considered replaceable, and the tape would make it easier to do so. Two, my theory, was that tape around the bumper would seal the bumper against the buttplate, and dampen the sound of the cue hit, less of a void. Other theories welcome.
