is it all about shaft? but what about the butt?

I know Becue spent a lot of time on their butts as well, they talk about orienting the direction of the fibers in their butts to maximize transfer of power, 3 years is a long time in R&D before mass production of your cues, these guys were working with CF building other products before deciding to try and build a complete CF cue.

Hi People.

Left my shaft to get a new cue tip at the pool hall on Monday, prepaid with instructions to text when done. Went back Thursday, was not done. Going back tomorrow, Tuesday, hope the local guy who doesn't do them on site has it done. If it is not there Tuesday, what do you guys suggest a next reasonable course of action would be? Tks.

Good grief.

That's a pool hall that has some part time hack doing tips so they can advertise it as a service.

Go elsewhere.

Thank you for proving that what I refer to as 'dampness' is a real phenomena.
Has to do with temp and humidity levels in the cloth and rails.
I've taken a lot of flack about this over the years.
Thank you Nathan.

I think the butt’s role is only in the weight, which shouldn’t affect the delivered force.

A cobbler might be able to make one as well, or anyone who makes leather goods

Apparently Jayson Shaw shot the wrong ball during his match today. He was confused by the color. As we all are...

Too much blackball maybe.

I like the baby blue. The green (6, 14) should be a hotter green. The 9 as well should be a much hotter yellow than the 1 ball. Then, they can lose the black stripe. I'm pretty sure video cams can record the difference. The 3 itself should be a very hot cherry red to distinguish it from the 4 and anything else. The 7 is confusing in many situations so just give it away...

71 Ball Run. I think I played the last keyball right and just did not hit it hard enough, but if there was a better way, please share. I thought it was too straight to go 1 rail. Login to view embedded media

That begs the question.
Is it sideways(safe)
Or one of the ends?(danger)


Cuebuddy>>> Fat end or chalk?

Tough choice.

Been there, done that. The music market has changed greatly in recent years. With youtube channels and other such avenues as proven sources of income streams, I'm not forced to play out, which is a grind. Recording, mixing, production, promo, etc can all be done from home without selling your soul to the devil - looking at you, record companies - but it requires me to wear all the hats. So, I have to use both sides of my brain, but I do that anyways. The trick is to prevent the magic side from being derailed by the rest of it.

Another plus is that the online channels are a good fit for releasing singles, so no pressure to put an album together. Streaming platforms don't pay squat, so no need to worry about that unless something takes off.

Why does it look gray in one photo and a nice brown maple color and another?

A shaft can add to/increase the amount of their power delivered to the CB.

The players power stays the same, a shaft transfers more of their power or robs some of their power, how you use that information is up to you, I have had a flaw in my stroke for a long time that I had a break through today, I had to understand exactly what I was doing wrong, I was trying to make the snap of the wrist and follow through 2 different things, I tried making them all one motion and it was like a light switch turned on, this will cause me to change the way I stroke the ball now, understanding exactly why I was not getting the desired result helped me figure out the solution.
