Bulletproof Recoil soft tip review

I installed the Bulletproof Recoil soft tip on my cue and shot with it several hours.
Holds chalk great.
Has a little different sound but I got used to that.
It takes some practice to get used to positional spin.
Also takes practice to get extreme draw.
Overall it is a very good tip that requires low maintenance.
It does not seem to mushroom or glaze over.
I did not have any miscues while getting severe draw or spin.
The hardest part is mentally gaining confidence in a synthetic tip that I never tried before.

Sports Palace?

The Sports Palace was a legendary room from the 1960's on. It was right there with LeCue in Houston and Congress Bowl in Miami as the most famous poolrooms in the South. Loved that place, day and night action with all kinds of players and people. I liked to hang out and take it all in.
Last time I was there was 1985….Flyboy made a three banker at one hole to get one game up…small smile of satisfaction…loved the game.
Joey with a Tie was giving some advice to a guy he was in with at 9-ball. I felt like hanging around but I had to go.

Deflection question, explain how a stiffer CF shaft has less deflection.

Because CF is stronger and therefore can remain stable and strong with more hollowness and thinner walls, they are capable of being lower deflection than wood. I've created a hybrid shaft that plays better than pretty much anything else I've played with that is a kielwood shaft that has been cut down and fused with a carbon fiber tube for the final 10 inches.

It can be larger diameter giving better consistency and forgiveness of hit, yet still have relatively low deflection and with that good feeling and feedback of a wood to wood joint.
