These guys are traveling all over and it’s hard to eat healthy, therefore, incorporate some sort of training regimen. They have gyms at hotels.

Jayson Shaw is a good example. Most of it is I heard he stopped drinking.

Shane for sure works out. I don't see him often. Maybe every 3-5 years. He's definitely heavier but, also looks like he hits hits gym and the horsemeat.
Maybe the guy just has picked up a taste for Popeyes in the last few years 😉

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

I don’t have an old and new 11.8 Revo, but if the CB deflection is different, it is because one has more endmass than the other. It might also have more stiffness as a result (e.g., if the carbon fiber wall thickness is greater, making it stronger, stiffer, and heavier).

If the lag is a skill shot, there's a better way

The opening lag is supposed to be difficult enough that there is a clear winner by inspection. We don’t want to start creating arguments on who won a lag by a millimeter. When that happens the players lag one more time and there is never a second tie.

A skill shot executed perfectly by two players to both repeatedly land on a rail is the opposite of a coin toss, which is also used to start games.

Good point, but you can always repeat a lag. It's possible you get lots of ties and its not practical.

It could be more meaningful or fun if it was close more often. Especially at the pro level and you could have a ref decide. A lot of pros are just going through the motion and don't practice it. So it's essentially random.

Because it's always been done a certain way is not a good argument. Change is fine if it's better

People say the lag is skill. This method increases the skill

Is there a reason 2 table lengths is better than 1 table length lag?

I think both players should hit their lag shot, and then fire at the moving object ball with a .22 caliber revolver. Safety glasses optional.

I was just going to post a link to the same match. Excellent video quality.

Good Lord, hard to fade runs like that in a match to 40. As always, classy response from the loser of the match.

Anyone know when Caudron switched to carbon shafts?

I think it's the Armonia cue he talks about here. I think the shaft is graphite.
