Many players are using extensions. Shaw seemed to play better when he was using one.

And all of those great players haven’t been doing so great since they started using it… all of them won their big titles before using it permanently on their cues.
Maybe if SVB will win this one, they’ll drop it too.

The practice table beef reminds me of Brady Golan remark at Sunday morning breakfast. It was on the lines of, " let me play 3 matches back to back on that table and see how He likes it." It was regarding the upcoming finals match. Brady still put a couple of 7s together to win the Spokane open 9 ball event.
Well as I remember it. The numbers might be close estimate. 😉 old timers and CRS factor called. 😉 Might even be 2 stories combined. 😉
Feeling wronged, well Self Righteous Wronged. Leads to my best game. So taking the ball and going home is NEVER an option. I currently have only one on My No Spek to list. 🤷‍♂️ 😉
Others have fallen to the statue of limitation rule. 🤷‍♂️

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

I am not knowing the answer to your question. However you bring up something I’ve wondered about myself:

Deflection isn’t just squirt. It is the sum total of squirt and swerve.

I call this “Effective Squirt,” a term I started using 30+ years ago where squirt dominated the spin compensation. So squirt is squirt, and effective squirt is the result of all spin effects I add up squirt effect, swerve effect, and throw effects to determine my compensation.

Yeah, I don't like my Everest new, I like it best a layer or 2 from the red warning layer, by that time its fully compressed and plays great. I wonder if one could make a layered milk dud tip?

I don't see why the treatment wouldn't work on any leather tip.
I've used EMasters and EMasters slathered with super glue. Makes them shapeable and they play reasonable hard. The Everest was fine as installed. Never touched it except regular dimpling with a Porper.

There's a time and a place.
I prefer the....uh , "I have been here before ". Attitudes. Yes it's a great accomplishment but my worthy opponent made it a Big accomplishment.
My first move after the final ball drops is to extend my hand to my opponent. (Well provided he's not an Ass Hat. 🤷‍♂️)
After the respect to opponent comes the celebration. Pretty sure I would take off my clothes before jumping on the table.
Was looking for his clothes off interview but this is semi topic friendly. 🤷‍♂️

People have built cues on all kinds of lathes, so your problem solving skills and how determined you are can make up for some machinery shortcomings. I would look into getting a wide ball bearing with a big enough through hole that you could use a Delrin sleeve between the bearings and cue and use the outside of the bearing as the surface you tighten up the steady rest on. Then you can use your indicator and adjust until you get perfect concentricity.

Just making sure I'm following, i would tighten the wheels of the rest to the outside of the bearing? Or do you mean I should get a rest that doesn't have wheels on it, just to hold the bearing?

Tascarella Custom Cue

Absolutely immaculate Tascarella cue. The cue is 58” split evenly, 29” & 29”. Pete really hit it out of the park with this one. Everything rolls straight together and apart. The points are perfect, all the same length and have 3 veneer colors, ebony, maple and natural with the center being highly configured brazilian rosewood. The butt sleeve is beautiful Brazilian rosewood the forearm is a clean piece of maple. It has a Delrin butt cap. It is a 5/16x14 SS joint. The butt weighs 15.9oz. The 2 shafts are 13mm with 1” ivory ferrules with LePro tips. The shafts weigh 4.0oz and 3.9oz. The wrap is brand new irish linen, white with green spec. Cues by Tascarella are extremely difficult to get your hands on. Here is your chance to have one now without the 2 year wait. $ 3,550.00 O/B/O.
