2-RAIL KICK SPEED EFFECTS, with the Midpoint-Parallel-Shift Aiming System

dr_dave
FYI, I just posted a new video that discusses and demonstrates the effects of speed with two-rail kicks aimed using the midpoint-parallel-shift aiming system. The video also resolves a discrepancy concerning two past videos on this topic. Check it out:

Do cue makers who make wood shafts still use a wood sealer dip?

This is just a more active forum. You can post on some of the sub forums and get no answer if at all for days. This is not off subject any more then discussing CF shafts. What was done to try stabilize wood shafts in the past and still may be relevant is interesting.

I don't mind the post, just saying that you actually might get an answer from a cue maker

I told you my skill level in how we run racks, actual play. then you brought up a website fargo something that was made up few yrs ago here on the internet.

For your second question, Kaci being #1 if he switches to CF? No I wouldn't know for sure because there are many other CF players out there still playing.....Now if all of them switched to wood and Kaci was the only person on Earth playing with a CF revo 12.4 or 12.9, then yes he would be the #1 every single year for sure.

But since there are many top players using CF, then one of the best ones will still be the #1 in the world every single time until one wood player lucks it in just one time and after that the guys who play with cf will come back and keep winning every single time after that. Now given all those players CF will improve their game, still the best ones will wood will ultimately become the best in CF and will keep that skill-gap level up, if you get what I mean.

Kaci did play with CF but switched back to wood.
The benefits of CF for a pro touring player are not in performance, they are in consistency and durability, the shaft will play the same regardless of humidity and other weather conditions, it'll stay straight and won't get dings and scratches, and the backup shaft will play the same as the main shaft when needed.

Yes there is added power (sorry... better energy transfer) but pros don't need it on tournament tables with new cloth and balls. And you can get low deflection from wood shafts, heck wood LD started the whole performance thing...

Make sure you shake it prior to each use. Do you have a ball polishing machine?

I have this Chinesium one (posted link). I used alcohol and wiped all of the balls clean, added a small dot to each ball and ran them through the cleaner. They look spot free. I’ll experiment with one ball to see what’s going on.

As far as the sprayer it seems to dry in the straw or sprayer head after I use it. I’ll have to pick up the one you recommended or clean the nozzle with hot water after use. Thank you for the help.

I’m tempted to buy a speed controller to slow down the ball cleaner. I think it spins too fast compared to a quality cleaner.
