Oh.

Sorry.

I thought we were talking about modern cue makers lightening fatter butt cues.

I guess "modern" is relative.

You are a rep for McDermott and they were one of the pioneers of carbon fiber coring in production cues in 2019.

I was Not a Rep for McDermmott!

Ambassator 3C player!

So much for the '1st Amendment'!

What? lol. I didn't say anything about restricting anyone's speech...lol. I'm just not going to subject myself to it anymore. The first amendment isn't the wedding singer...lol. "I have a mic and you don't so you will listen to every word I have SAY!!!!!!", lol.

When you get a new cue ball, there is a coating and it is a little slick. Once you wear that off, the cue ball plays differently. As we all know. When I practice the vertical masse shots, you can imagine that ball gets dirty and it isn't as slick as a new cue ball. After I clean the cue balls, I do put a small amount of car wax on a micro fiber cloth and rub the cue balls. It makes the cue ball play like a new ball again. I have no problem with a pool room that wants to keep the balls playing like they are new. Usually for pro tournaments the balls are new anyways so that shouldn't be an issue.

I think there is some confusion between (a) clean and polish and (b) wax/silicone.

Attached is a picture of my Super Pros that are over 15 years old after I cleaned and polished them with Aramith Ball Cleaner. No wax. They looked like they were new out of the box after I polished them.

I am pretty sure that new out of the box Aramiths are just polished. In particular I don’t think the new CB would act like the CB in the Ko video.

I haven't had much interaction with Cue Alchemist, but Mensabaum is good peeps. Glad they sorted you out.

I will be reviewing that break tip very soon my good man. I haven't forgotten. I just got the shaft that I had made for it. As soon as I can get my arse to a table, I will bust a few racks.

Someone tell Joe that the "green stuff" in his Fuller is likely Malachite.
Pool is lucky to have someone like Rogan pumping the game.

OK then.

Never mind.

Obviously you figured out carbon fiber butt coring in 1981.

Remarkable. McDermott was truly blessed. Just took some decades to apply it in 2019.

Longoni is Not a 'Modern' cuemaker?

Tiger is Not a 'Modern' cuemaker?

Theory is Not a 'Modern' cuemaker?

What do You t hink the 'Purpose' of coring a cue is?

Just to achieve the 'Correct' weight that the cuemaker couldn't obtain on the 'Natural'!

Maybe years ago there would be an 6"-12" Bolt Hole in cues, those cues 'Hit' hollow!

I solved that problem with a method I devised in 81!

Buy 'Cotton Ball' futures!

OK then.

Never mind.

There was a statistic analysis that showed that there is no difference for the end result

Where was that? Was it amateur or pros? Because my recollection of the At Large work is that the break does favour the good pros.
