Catalin has a point that Pure X's description of the CF inside as carbon fiber materials sounds as if it could be practically nothing (see their website descriptions at end of post). Google AI, however, claims carbon fiber materials are used in shafts like Revo while carbon fiber tube is used...

I tried to use the measle ball three times with fellows at this retirement community and they refused to play with them. First time no reason given, second time the ball obscured player's aiming, and today the ball was ridiculous.

Maybe that was the Eazy Jump that is the wood part of the photo here. Now, that seems to violate pool rules while EZ Jumper does not: Eazy Jump is a novel piece of equipment; Eazy Jump does not have you place the palm of your hand on the table. Senior Tom also mentioned another jumper...

The earlier-posted video showed EZ-Jumper being used with a round green cloth. The cloth didn't prevent jumps. The cloth comes with EZ-Jumper. Reviews on PoolDawg gave it four 5 stars and two 2 stars. Comments below. No comments on Amazon. I'm using it to learn how to jump. To be honest...

Red dot Measle balls cheap and expensive: _

The better training ball is the elephant ball that has a realistic miscue limit and a black band that shows wobble clearly. Dr Dave also uses it as a convenient measure of the amount of spin applied in deflection tests (center cue tip on horizontal center at red circle). I like it for learning...

In your second figure, it looked like your angles are calculated from the object-ball contact point. Is that correct? Is it possible to look at your old posts on this subject? I tried to find posts by your old name, CueAndMe, but the AZ search routine would not recognize such a member.

I went to angledetective.itch.io/angle-detective and downloaded the file. It didn't automatically start up. I clicked on the application in a file folder. I only got as far as this warning: Windows protected your PC Microsoft Defender SmartScreen prevented an unrecognized app from starting...

This makes sense if he did to the Pagulayan shaft what Meucci does to its Carbon Pro --- put wood plugs at joint and tip end to make carbon fiber feel like wood. If so, this is a marketing plus as Meucci explains in its touting the Carbon Pro:

Predator 314's ferrule supposedly has gotten stronger with each step from 314-1 to 314-3. This was what I learned from Budget Billiards' Julia Meucci Patrick and references therein. See snippets and complete response below. The original 314 introduced the concept of a hollow-front...

I learned very little from the video on how this shaft differs from others. I was curious, though, about this snippet from the video. If Pagulayan is only selling a shaft, what is the wood-looking portion?
