Perhaps it has something to do with my learning how to play with wood, but there's a tactile sensation, an awareness I get from wood that resonates from the tip on contact, all the way down the cue to my other hand - that I need, that I've gotten used to. Without it, my game suffers.
Reading braille is the closest thing I can parallel it with.
Call me crazy.

That may be true for you, and probably me as well. I was always very picky about shafts and the feedback I got. That is not the case with new players, or older players for that matter who have switched to CF after a small learning curve.

If I was younger and still playing I have no doubt I would probably be playing with, or at least give an honest try to CF. I think I would hate the glove though.
The obvious truth is, CF. will be the only thing around in a few years.

John Barton was talking about this guy on the JB auction stream last night.

Equal Angle Opposites.
Semi redundant over nomage but that is what Jimmy Reid called it in the video.

You can graduate to the nanometer but you can't hit any better than equal angle geometry.

Hickory golf is still a thing, so I have to believe wood shafts in pool will continue to be used as well.

There would need to be an argument to be made why wood is better. Can you think of one? All cue makers/manufacturers will have to make CF part of their offerings. Eventually, wood will not even be part of the conversation.

Right now if you have a cue and need a new shaft (wood), it is a huge hassle to get one made. In most cases it requires sending off your butt and waiting who knows how long. Just the ease of replacement alone it a big plus for CF.

You do realize the "precision" is in the gradations and not the shooting. (?) Why not EAO for the whole sweep?

Black Hustler case is still available.

Thanks for looking

Sure .. they are a classic set if that’s what you want. But if you don’t want to spend over $400 for a set of balls or you want something a little different for home or business that pops Dynosphere are a great choice.

I love how anal you guys are for the tiniest of tolerance lol I don’t say this to be insulting but I doubt any of you including me are good enough for that to make a difference

You will quickly notice those tolerances when one particular ball is always rolling freely while you slide the rack into place because it is not constrained due to being undersized...
