think I need deflection

[Black-Balled]

Try NPR section of azb for most deflection.

You’ll never see me with an LD shaft on one of my cues. Or looking ladylike with a glove on.

Ladylike for wearing a glove? Baseball players, Golfers, Football players all wear gloves, and World Champion SVB ........

If you want a Revo with standard wood deflection behavior, Predator makes one for Carom players with standard deflection. Of course, it will have a carom taper. Just FYI.

If you're a sponsored player, they make standard revo's with +40% - that's about a conventional wood shaft deflection.
Chang Jung Lin was using this previously (RIP)

1. How has the ferrule been modified to increase deflection?
2. What is the ferrule made of or what does it come from?
3. What is the width of the ferrule/vault plate?
4. Is it a Cynergy vault plate?

Tenon was not bored out as hollow, bore diameter also matters.
Ferrule was made from the same material as the revo white 'vault plate' / ferrule.
what material you choose to use depends on the hit you're after. many have had good results with tomahawk as well.

if you're a qualified cuemaker, you should roughly have a sense of how things affect the amount of swerve,deflection - adjust the specs based on your experience / trial & error.



Personally, i still prefer the feel & feedback of wood. But i'm trying to make a CF shaft that i wouldn't mind playing without much adjustment as in the long run the CF would not warp. it is just more durable than wood..

Pardon my ignorance... +40% what?

I'm assuming deflection; that's all they engraved on their prototype shaft back then

 

[VarmintKong]

I'd forgotten I'd started this thread when I got the alert, it's 5 years old.

What did you end up going with?

Has it changed the way you approach shots like the inside three rail example from the OP?

Markup for sure.

 

[maha]

if it makes you look ladylike to wear a glove then i might as well also wear a pocketbook.

so i dont have to stuff all the cash in my front pockets.

did not know that, but makes sense since the taiwanese/chinese like higher deflection. i believe he too came from a southwest before predator. RIP champ.

I've shot with a number of different shafts with different diameters that were all made from blanks, all of them bored out at least .250. All of them also had plug ferrules. Some of them the tenons were bored out too.
I'm now started to go back to predators, I think they hit better. I have an old 314 and just got a vantage to give a go.

I switch too much to be a decent player, did the same with golf clubs for years.

I bet this is more ladylike than wearing a glove.

Put the hardest playing tip you can find on the Revo & go from there.

what does a hard tip have to do with it?

 

[Fore Rail]

what does a hard tip have to do with it?

I have found in my own game that a hard tip minimizes swerve.

 

[garczar]

they don't, D. Dave covered this yrs ago. tip hardness has little to no effect in deflection. Meucci used to say hard tips def. less but he never said why. Nothing to worry about.

It is not that simple. See the section at the bottom of the page here:

cue tip hardness effects​

 

[Patrick Johnson]

I have found in my own game that a hard tip minimizes swerve.

The only reason I can think of for that is that a hard tip might move the CB slightly faster with the same stroke - so a softer tip might make you stroke a little more slowly for the same outcome.

In other words, it's the speed, not the tip - and the difference is probably too small to notice.

nothing your ever gonna notice in REAL play.

Of course it's speed Patrick, but imo it is also a combination of that speed with the net effects of the applied spin.
