Well, every day that I learn something is a good day. Apparently there are some shafts made with woven material, or a woven overlay.

Okay. Here is a pretty decent explanation from a bicycle manufacturer. https://www.applemanbicycles.com/unidirectional-versus-woven-carbon-fiber/

The only pattern I see in my CF blanks is a barely noticeable radial pattern, almost like curly maple. It is not a pattern of the CF fibers, but likely a relic of how they form the CF on the blank or how they clamp it. The pattern appears to mostly be in the resin binder. The shaft blanks I...

I haven't seen a cf shaft that is woven. Woven cf is mostly used in applications where the expected forces are in many directions or are unpredictable, or it is used for lower manufacturing cost of semi complex designs. Woven cf is weaker than the biased lay-up that products like golf clubs...

I use masters, chalk sometimes, probably once every break and every fifth shot or so. I use a lot of English and rarely miscue. I hate the new chalks, they always leave impossible to clean marks on my table.

Please don't assume that my path was the normal path to cuemaking. I grew up in a cabinet shop and started making cues when I was a student in mechanical engineering, building my own jigs and tooling on a student's budget. This was long before FB existed and when the interwebs were in their...

May be related to Quasimodo with that hunch.

Cnc doesn't make tight veneer miters. There's nothing I do on my cnc that I couldn't do before I built it.

They make solid wall, non-keyed inserts. I would be hesitant to use the keyed inserts. The solid inserts also don't require a special tap. I've installed about 10000 (conservatively). They are about five bucks each, generally sold in five packs. If the foot is steel, pm me and we may be...

If all the veneer miters are that bad, I wouldn't bother.

There's no beer left to hold. Probably no whiskey, either.

Stroke already has a dictionary definition. I'm this context it is most applicable to either the motion of the cue or the motion of the player. I believe it is most widely accepted that when players talk about their stroke they are talking about their body mechanics.

Your premise of not needing different strokes is flawed. The physics doesn't change, but there are several reasons to develop different strokes. The easiest is a jump shot. Nobody uses the exact strike for a jump shot as they do for a normal shot. Then there's are other factors that...

The cueball doesn't know how the hit was delivered. Inanimate objects have no knowledge or memory. What does matter is that humans are meat balloons supported by flexible sticks held together with rubber bands. So when someone says that a stroke has to be performed a certain way, what they...

No need for an app. Google has done this for probably 15 years. Search: site:azbilliards.com "KEYWORDS" Works for most sites, including Craigslist.
