Anti-elbow drop machine

The pro women today seem to play much better as a whole than the pro women of the 90's. When you watch those old matches, a lot of those women tried to have perfect pinned elbow pendulum strokes. I think its because the women at that time had coaches preaching the pendulum stroke, whereas most of the men were too proud, and developed naturally.

The women of today have much more piston strokes, like the men do.

Maybe that is one contributing factor to their improved play.

I remember watching Pam Treadway come up in the late 90's/early 2000's in the Philly area. Her stroke was "like a man's" and she dominated for about 10 years every regional event she entered. The other women had a dink stroke with a locked elbow.

Jasmin Ouschan is one of the strongest woman's players of today and she has significant elbow drop.

I honestly think it's hard to even get a proper, consistent follow through with a pure pendulum stroke unless you're tall.

Carbide tipped cutting tool for tip replacement or REPLACEABLE STEEL BLADE??

Ģüśţāṿ
In my opinion, there really is no "best" for tips. The majority of the YouTube videos that do tip replacements, use small portable or homemade drill powered lathes without a tool post, so a blade is the only option.

However, high speed steel can easily be sharpened to cut very efficiently and won't push the tip away like carbide generally will do. So HSS is a better option in this regard.

For me, I will use carbide with a very small radius point or HSS to shape the sides of the tip and a blade to shape the top.

I started watching the ladies in between Jean and Dottie and the modern players, when the woman's tour was just getting going. The evening gowns were a nice distraction. The pool was painful for the most part. While there were about a half-dozen fairly capable players if you bet Allison and Jeanette would be in the final before the event started you would win a lot more than you lost. A few more foreigners started making things interesting on the table but it was a long grind getting enough decent players to look like a tour.
