could you give an example of a correct answer but not demonstrating understanding the answer?

Good question.

I'll think a little on that to come up with an example more universally understandable or maybe relatable. It would be silly to present something that needs a lot of explaining. It's like having to explain a joke. It isn't funny if you have to explain it. I deal with a lot of technical biomedical stuff that just would not work well because I would have to explain too much.

So...something simple and relatable... :rolleyes:

Historical marquetry cues help!

And they've been chopped too, Even more sad. If there are real, any historical significance, would be lost.
Some had a mace on the other end, some had tips. Could be french, english who knows.

To an extent yes, originality is lost, as is historic value.

But restoration is not out of the question. They could be spliced with shafts, or even made into a two piece. I have seen very nice examples.

I did a quick search and found this two piece. LINK

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

Linear bearings force anything mounted in them, sometimes just one but always two, to have to move straight back and forth. With the shaft having no lateral movement to speak of mounted in those bearings and no flex to speak of mounted very near the ends the effective mass of the shaft would be, well, massive.

As you know an off center hit forces lateral movement in both objects, normally significant movement in both assuming similar weight and ability to move laterally. Lock one down and it's effective mass becomes huge, basically all the movement occurs in the other object.

Nothing tricky this morning!

Compete without fear

I have been playing pool now for about 3 years now and I am a 500 Fargo level. In the three years I have been playing it is rare for me to be in competition without some sort of fear or stress over missing a shot or losing. It's the same apprehension and fear that all players suffer, and it can ruin your game. Although, there have been times when for whatever reason I have competed devoid of any apprehension or fear, where my skill set came out fully unimpeded, and I have excelled in my game in those moments. I have run tables and made amazing shots when fear is gone, but it is so difficult to get to that point. I am not sure how to get to that point of being without fear of losing or missing, but when I do I am a very good player. Any tips on how to get to that point? Have you had times when you have played when you didn't have any fear? Are there techniques I can use to help me reach this goal?
