Tascarella Cue

Outing this guy is always allowed if and when someone violates the Forum rues.
I already do it publicly and also by PM to the Mods, as well as the offending party.

The Mods only have so much time available and there is more to doing that job than
looking for bad threads. And how often should they patrol and read the threads and
all the posts for bad behavior or non-compliance with Forum rules?

If you don’t have the gumption to call someone out, send me a PM with the details.
I’ll check it out and if there’s been a violation of Forum rules, I’ll report the individual.
The only way for this website to flourish is relying on self-regulation by its members.

If he had posted multiple listings in the For Sale Section, the duplicate threads would
have been removed and the orig. poster would be warned by the Mods. No one would
need to out him but as I’ve acknowledged, I would. Know what? Do it to me if deserved.

Deflection question, explain how a stiffer CF shaft has less deflection.

If you think all my analyses, testing results, and demonstrations are wrong, please provide proof.

To be fair, sometimes it is difficult to separate the effects of stiffness and endmass. If you make a shaft bigger without taking measures to reduce the endmass, the end of the shaft will be stiffer and have more endmass, so you might think it is the increased stiffness that is causing more CB deflection, but it is actually the extra endmass primarily responsible.

That darn glue.

Yeah, Xylene and Toluene were both going to be too stinky for use in an establishment that serves food... We ended up just scraping away at it with something very much like what Muskyed showed. The one Sheldon showed is likely much, much better, but the only equivalent I found at the local HD had a curved blade surface, so wasn't as usable. I'm going to keep my eyes open for something better, but since we got those two tables done and I'm not doing this for a living, it isn't going to be that high of a priority.

Deflection question, explain how a stiffer CF shaft has less deflection.

Stiffness matter a little, but the mass of the part of the shaft closest to the tip is by far the main factor causing CB deflection or squirt. This is covered in detail with explanations, analysis, and demonstrations here:

You're wrong. It matters a lot

2 reasons why people don't feel it. One they aren't good enough at pool to notice. Two they didn't use enough sidespin. This goes for testing as well. Really need to get closer to 2 tips of side with a smooth firm stroke to generate max deflection
