No, unfortunately it didn't clear up anything for me. Clarifying after the fact that your example was only meant for a certain group of people, while misleading, I don't really care about that.
We (or should I say you) are talking about the fact that "The only benefit to ld technology is that CBs path is closer to the original aimline, so the deviation for adjusting for side spin is less." While I don't totally agree I'm willing to ignore that also.

Once you add in "Any time an adjustment is finer in scope it will be less affected by uncontrollable variables, like dirty balls, cloth, or environmental conditions like excess humidity, extremely dry conditions, etc." is where it goes off the rails for me.

IMO, with lower deflection shafts the main benefit is (which you've said numerous times) less squirt. The things highlighted above in red, again IMO, have zero to do with amount of squirt.

First off, stop with the hostile attitude. I don't HAVE to clarify. If I do, it's out of the good will of my heart. I don't give a $h17, (if all of a sudden it's turned into an argument), about winning. I know I'm right. I've meted it out over years playing in multiple conditions with different types of equipment, I honestly don't give a $h17 what you think. Everything I post on this forum is only to help other people.

If you have an honest question and interest in what I'm saying, fine, don't get an attitude with me please. If you're just of a mind to creating problems or attempting to prove me wrong, I'm not interested, go find someone else. I'll just stop responding and/or put you on ignore and continue to give information to the people who care and want to improve or I won't. It's not to my benefit and it doesn't matter to me one way or the other.

Now, are you interested in hearing an answer, or creating more tension and drama?

I know you have a very long history with cues and this forum and I respect your insight, though can you point me to a production cue that uses black linen phenolic? I haven’t followed cues as much as I use to, and to be fair, I haven’t paid attention to production cues that are made after 93.

Many production cues used black linen phenolic, including Taiwan Kao cues.

I'll post an example later. Watching a movie with The Crazy Redhead

Late night snack anyone?...

I was just talking about one of these around an hour ago.

There are two deli places I passed on the way home.

I don't know if either of them serve these.

I will have to check.

Contact JP.

Bumper is completely shot. I'll take it off your hands cheap. Relieve you of all that anxiety about whether or not to refinish it.

I am here to help.

Leave it as it is except maybe a new bumper.
Some folks would buy that cue simply because of
the original micarta ferrule.
Price as is ???

I don't buy the one size fits all thing either. My question is what kind of pool do you play? Before anyone answers or ignores that, lemme add that most "winning" pool is is dead, cut and dried, outs. Now you can probably get the size perfect for just that - IDK... Point being, that leaves a significant portion of vital pool or even vital game to perfect with the one focal length.

Guys used to walk into a place, grab a stick, and just figure out what it would do for them.
