If those pictures in your previous post are of your Diamond, you really got screwed.

Aside from the shit rush job the balls stop on the end of the ledge before dropping. The guy did this comes recommended by people here and Diamond. 4.5 paid hours each way. He was in a hurry to get done and leave. Also came by himself. I had to help lift the top off.. and I cannot lift. I’m trying to get Zack from Table Fitters to come to Florida. He needs about 10 tables. Look at his FaceBook. If he is not the one to do this right I give up.

Any reviews out there for UNLIMITED (Double Carbon) Carbon Fiber shafts (from Japan)?

Thanks for your reply. I guess that most (if not all) of these custom cue makers out there, use cheap CF tubes, from China.

I also see that the high end shafts, that cost $500-$700, list the specs that you were referring to in your reply, and many of them probably also make their own CF tubes. That might have sounded really dumb, when I put those two facts together, lol.

I guess if I want a really high quality CF shaft, then those are the prices that I will have to pay.

Yes, most of the cf shafts out there use chinese blanks that are actually not low deflection and in some cases high deflection. I did just this morning prove that they can be made low deflection although care needs to be taken when doing so.

I don't know how many or which companies or if ANY of the companies make their own cf shaft blanks. I simply can only speak to what I've been able to source.

Overcoming Frustration

Breathe. Return to the present moment and get out of your head. Focus only on ther current shot. The shots that came before don't matter. Future projections of continued struggle are a waste of time and energy also. So return to the present moment...the only one you can affect. It becomes easier the more u do it.

You can also check out mental game books like "The Inner Game of Tennis" or "Pleasure of Small Motions". Lot of useful tidbits in those.

Yes - for instance, Pleasures of Small Motions emphasizes focusing on the shot, not the score.

Another similar one that might be useful is Zen In the Art of Archery.
