Cole Dickson's practice session routine

576 or so balls in rotation? I'll wait for the video. Cool story, though.

Wide open table and no information as to the table itself. I don't think it has to be much harder, maybe not any harder, than a 147 on a championship snooker table.

I mention winning over 160 racks of eight ball in a row when a scratch on the break or the eight ball would have been a loss. Sounds farfetched but out of the 25-30 guys I played there were only maybe a half dozen that could runout playing eightball. People moved in and out of the rotation but my main concern was that there were over a hundred challenges on that table at times, sometimes around 125. If I lost control of the table I would never be allowed back on it. I played strategy to stay on the table. Equally important, there was a strange moon in the sky that night. The situation was never right to repeat. I went back about a month later, about a dozen challenges on the table. I got on the table, won three games and everyone pulled their money down. Four or five months later I went back again. Put a challenge on the table and the eight or ten people on the table quit, I never even broke.

I did the impossible a handful of times driving a circle track car. Strange things happen.

straightline: "Can you provide the logic behind this?"

I don't think so. It's easy enough to test with a pair of frozen object balls and shooting the first thin and hard into the second. You seem to be predicting "negative throw".
Bob.... this is a fact.
Hitting the same contact point on a cut shot at a high speed.... INCREASES the CUTTING of THE object BALL.
Excessive spin combined with excessive cb speed Maximizes this situation.
I've very surprised but happy this came up why?
I might learn something new.
I learned when I started playing good in 70's I HAD TO aim ALLOT fatter on cut shots and even more when added draw while using ALLOT of speed. It becomes a feel shot, and conditions have a strong influence on your contact point choice.

Custom shaft questions

Wouldn't an ash shaft be better for a whippy shaft??
No, it would be about the same.

As you see the properties in terms of density, elastic modulus etc. is very similiar to each other.
