It would have been even more interesting to see a few other of the Carbon Fiber shafts test as well . . . Pechaeur, Jacoby, and WHYTE CF for example . . .

Truly a sad day in the pool playing world - Alan was a really great guy and a great promotor of the concept of low deflection shafts. He and Steve Titus had a unique concept and made it happen.

A true gentlemen and great case maker - we will miss you !!

You might try using a long "gun drill" which are made for boring/coring.

NO you missed the point !!

And I'll bet YOU are still running around on bias ply tires on YOUR car versus radials because in the 50s those were the "best" - LOL.

As the first Cuemakers to fully investigate and perform tapered coring, using a gun drill and tapered reamer, I would suggest that much of what is being discussed and recommended here has found success with any number of makers to some degree . . . so to each his own . . . BUT why not take...
