Fedor Gorst - looking for action in Louisville, KY tomorrow. If you could - would you?

I understand everyone's perspective - was just sharing mine. Granted Sky and Fedor are different people but I'm basing my expectation on what happened with one and I'd articulate that with the other if the opportunity came up. If I lost a a $100.00 set to Fedor and got nothing from it, no guidance/advice/thoughts post set and didn't think it was worth it, then I'd pull up and pay him $100.00 and walk away - so be it. Let's face it, $100.00 doesn't have the buying power it used to so losing it isn't going to break me or piss me off - it's just what it cost me to play. Now if I took as much away from that set as I did from Sky, then I'd play another on the same terms. It's all personal preference and depends on the situation and how it plays out, but I understand and appreciate everyone's perspective as no one's wrong in what they said.

For me the Gorsts, Kos and Fillers are an immediate attraction. Seriously, the current top 5 have visible skills that take them thru the tape time and time again. Woodward - who? Oi - who? On and on.

I know how pool goes. I have no clue how Champion goes.

Lowest deflection kielwood

Could it be said that with a shaft that has more deflection, probably the maple shaft, you can apply more torque to the cue ball with more action than a stiff carbon fiber shaft? A lot of people are so used to Wood, and the deflection it offers, that wood is there go to shaft. I have been playing with wood for a few weeks to a month now and I just like what it offers. Now I can play well with carbon fiber, but something about wood seems to make me more confident.

I miss all kinds of shots and I understand deflection. Not a hard concept. My point is, if I can’t deliver a stroke deflection is moot. As others have pointed out, one can compensate based on the understanding of their equipment.

When I stack rank items of importance from my delivery to my equipment, buying the latest low deflection device relative to the low deflection devices I already own is a fool’s errand. I need more reps, more table time, more Dr. Dave videos, not another shaft…

but if you play with a shaft that offers little to no deflection, you can aim as usual while still applying spin to get your desired cue ball position. Youre correct in that , if you CANT deliver a ball straight with a good stroke, than deflection isnt your problem. But if you CAN hit a ball straight consistently, low deflection can increase your consistency while applying spin, which in turn can make the game easier by gaining cue ball control
