    Very exciting match, but Morra is tough to watch...so slow!

    Sahara is actually a nice hotel, much better than Westgate!

    White vault plate vs Black vault plate, does it matter?

    I have a difficult time identifying the end of the shaft with a black vault plate, even the thin white ones can be tough. This is why I like the cynergy, there's enough contrast for me to see it clearly.

    Purpleheart shaft vs maple for dings - Break cue

    I just finished up a purpleheart breakshaft for myself, and I have no idea why I didn't make one sooner. It hits harder than all of my other [purchased] break shafts! To the OP, you can't go wrong with a purple shaft 🙂 much harder than maple so it will not ding as easily.

    Kielwood shaft cleaning? methods?

    I have not had good success fixing dents in KW compared to regular maple. The wood just doesn't swell as much. I am also very picky about how smooth a shaft should be, that's why I switched to CF, purely for the ding resistance.

    With Joshua winning in Vegas, does Fedor's backers still want some?

    Maybe both players just need to try harder 😉

    With Joshua winning in Vegas, does Fedor's backers still want some?

    They are breaking from the side rail specifically to make the head ball, there is no break box here so side rail works well. Most recent tournaments had a break box so there was no option to break from the side. You do not get a consistent spread with a hand rack, you do with a template rack...

    With Joshua winning in Vegas, does Fedor's backers still want some?

    Because they are racking by hand instead of with a template, so naturally the ball spread will be less consistent. Their goal is to make the head ball in the side pocket.

    Any tip recommendations for Predator Air II jump cue?

    Agreed! I've had this the same jump cue for years now, and you just need to scuff it with some 100-120grit sand paper.

    Lowest deflection kielwood

    Fixing dings is definitely on the list of things I don't like to do, and it's pretty sad that people don't treat others equipment with respect! I'm glad you found the shafts of your dream, that's no easy feat. Finding heavy weight kielwood can be a challenge!

    Lowest deflection kielwood

    Jumping with only a shaft is easier because your acceleration is greater due to less mass. "That's why we used to do it" many years ago with high detection shafts 😉 It's certainly not a difficult concept to understand but I know you cannot accept it because you refuse to be wrong, so you will...

    Lowest deflection kielwood

    I'm not deflecting, I'm simply responding the way you do. Deflection pushes the cue out way of your natural aim point, right? So a shaft with more endmass will push the cue out of way easier, with less shaft speed, than an LD shaft. With an LD shaft, you need to hit a bit harder, usually...
