Anyone else notice Kaci didn't shoot? Отправлено с моего STV100-2 через Tapatalk

Totally pointless discussion. Deflection doesn't count for much at all, as every level still needs adjustments by feel for consistent play (when you go to very low deflections you must now compensate for swerve instead, etc etc). The biggest question to be asked about all these CF shafts is how...

If you were to live in the humid climate of South east Asia, you would know why. 😂 Sent on mobile Android via Tapatalk

Cheers! Anyway, @ Dr. Dave, I hope you get to test the new Ignite shaft by Mezz (they need to send you one!!) as well in all those parameters (efficiency, deflection, pivot point) so for those of us contemplating to go CF can make the most informed decision based on the qualities they prefer...

Sorry but I disagree about higher efficiency being inconsequential or even detrimental as some seem to hypothesize above... Of course we are talking in the context of strong level play whereby it's assumed that certain quality of delivery and tip placement is guaranteed. Not just some random...

@Dr Dave, Can you make a reasonable comparison of hit efficiency of some of these shafts? Cuetec Vs Revo Vs Maple That in itself is a big plus point for CF shafts in my opinion. So far after trying the Revo I've come to the conclusion that you easily get 5-10% more energy transfter on many...

I think something hasn't been mentioned is that putting your cue to the chin offers consistently the same viewpoint, as the chin contact is used to "validate" that head position on every shot. Now whether the position is correct relative to your vision center is another story. Everyone should...

Hate to disagree given Ralfs records. But from a fundamentals standpoint he is an awful choice to emulate, IMO He pulls inwards on the back-swing, and cues across the ball on many occasions when the timing isnt perfect. He also has a bridge thats too long by virtue of holding his cue all the...

He brought an "ear" to his last WCOP interview... so bizzare. LOL Sent on mobile Android via Tapatalk

I play with a Schon that one could say is relatively fancy, 1k price range, abalone inlays with cocobolo. However in it's stock shaft configuration, it would be a difficult player without a LD shaft upgrade - I've used multiple shafts with it, from OB to Bd SS360 to Mezz WD700, which I like the...

This guy is just hilarious! https://youtu.be/KCP2XZo5cB4 here's another one for the fans. LOL Sent from mobile Android via Tapatalk

18oz is what works for me as well. :thumbup: Any heavier and I noticed a gradual loss of speed. Tested this with using a heavier shaft on same break cue (Mezz Kai) I think the biggest thing OP fails to mention is what game is he breaking at? Is he hitting them from the rail or bed? If we are...

Good rule of thumb is to go .5 to 1 ounce lighter than your player. Also likely the lack of speed is due to the body being in the way at some point during the stroke. Standing more 'side on' might yield best results. I'd recommend watching Joe Tuckers break secrets. He breaks it down quite...
