Making a sneaky pete from a blank

I don't think collars are needed except for looks. I've had a lot of sneaky style cues over the years and all but maybe one were true, no-collar sneakies and not one ever split or showed any signs of stress/cracking. I know a couple guys still using original Meucci sneakies and the only thing ever needed was to replace the shit ferrules.

I have never had a Sneaky with a split or crack at the joint, but I have seen other people with cues like that.

Maybe they abuse their cues.

Max Eberle on people who play on barboxes "Pool players need to grow some balls"

I would have played him straight up because that’s how you get better. I tell Apa players that if they are having fun playing Apa that’s great . The game is supposed to be about having fun but if you want to get better at some point you’ll have to stop hiding behind handicaps and play nuts up.

7-7, 7-5 or whatever wouldn’t have helped the 558. He lost 7-1. According to Fargo 7-5 wasn’t anywhere near right.

In this particular instance the only thing the 558 is going to get is drilled over and over again by the 745.

This past weekend I saw a 745 Fargo play a 558. The race was 7-5 according to the TD. You think they should have played straight up? Not all tournaments are run that way. Everyone has to play according to how the tournament director runs his / her tournaments.

Players are usually put into divisions in tournaments according to their ability whether that would be via Fargo or say CSR. I play in no less than the top two levels in everything.

League is where pool players go to die. :ROFLMAO:

I play in Wyoming and Colorado.

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

Yes, assuming the tip/ferrule weight and weight distribution along the length is similar in the comparison, and assuming the CF shaft isn’t made to be whipper than normal. The mass closest to the tip contributes the most to “endmass.”

If the cue ball comes off the tip in a millisecond, or so, where does the "whippiness" of the shaft come into play?

Hasn't the contact between the tip and the cue ball been broken before the shaft begins to whip?
