Definitely not him in the obituary. I have a wood pin titlist conversion that he did, with the no ferrule shaft. Nice cue.
Sounds really awesome.

RIP, Chuck. Always wanted to try one of his wood big pins. Never pulled the trigger, regrets.
My question is once you are confident of OB contact point, do you shoot the CB with center ball aiming the cue tip directly at the contact point or aim the edge/contact point on the CB at the contact point? Elementary or intuitive I'm sure to good players.There's a whole forum for aiming topics. Maybe this thread will get moved there, but in the meantime....
Suppose you can keep the contact point in mind, say it happens to be a feature on the object ball. What do you then do with that point once you get over to shoot the cue ball?
not same guy. Chuck lived/lives in Missouri iirc.
Definitely, since pool wouldn’t exist. I manage to look pretty dumb anyway.Without physics you'd look pretty dumb playin' pool.






I have a Crical Cue with the pro taper 12.5 mm shaft and it plays good for what it is. I normally play with a 11.5 wood shaft.I got a nice experience with a Crical CF. You can try that. Just make sure it is your preferred taper. I can do either, but I prefer playing with a pro-taper since I'm using an 11.5mm.

What's the best bang for my buck??
TIA
I own CF shafts from several manufacturers and still have no complaints with the Springfield shaft.Just my own two cents here...
Unlike most (or all) others posting on this topic, I've actually visited Springfield Cues, met Doug and learned a lot about him, his passion and the hard work he's put into this. Isolated complaints from years ago don't carry much weight, IMO. Every business has growing pains. Having a "placeholder" picture on the website is not ideal, but not uncommon either.
For what it's worth, I would have no reservations buying the products offered by this company.
