My high school physics book was describing a spinning ball in flight. The illustrations matched how a spinning cueball curves. It matched up nicely with the illustrations and explaining of why a wing provides lift. Well my experience catching in baseball proved that ain't the way a spinning baseball curves. Of course when I objected in class the teacher gave me the task of explaining why. Er uh how come the book was wrong. Well I didn't have book knowledge I had experience knowledge. So I had to guess.

F=MA is the correct answer.
If I only knew what that means.
My guess as to fast that isn't hard would involve deceleration.
Besides what's the definition of hard?
Wasn't it President Clinton that responded with, "that depends on what the definition of is , is."
Hard could be the second grade or long and hard could be my Winchester. (The Winchester answer comes from a Granny joke in an old Playboy magazine.) Shrug

See Post #64 for 'Fast' cue action without, 'Force/Hard'!

No 'Deceleration'!

A good table mechanic will know where to resource them.

BUMP

It never was a product designed for pool, just an off shoot marketing attempt. Knowing how it worked, it really served no purpose on a pool stick.
The original design, that also ended up marketed to pool, was shortly redesigned for a much more functional vibrational damper for compound bows. There was a dramatic difference with andampened.
Most manufactures came with their dampeners. I'm thinking the patents ran out as I think the manufactures do their own thing now, but not really sure, they may still be paying them royalties.
Wife and i used to be big in archery, shot companions all the time, even national.
Quit shooting about 8 yrs ago, really miss it.

I don't understand why a good table mechanic cannot convert a GC VII to drop pockets.

It was $950 when I bought it, just at tick over $1k now but still a great deal for a nice cue with a carbon shaft. I've had many cues that were more expensive, but this has become my favorite player ever.

Thanks. The post I quoted said "Sept 31," a date that doesn't exist, hence the question.

I've had most kinds of production cues over the years and have settled on Joss. Old school designs, beautiful quality, reasonable prices.
