    After you win a game a pool...

    Yes.

    Experiments in looking at the cueball while delivering the stroke.

    Yogi Berra is decipherable. This not so much.

    Deflection question, explain how a stiffer CF shaft has less deflection.

    Not for you maybe. I had no reason to change anyway. I was handed the complete custom by a local cue maker. Nice cue, not enough deflection. Not trying to wrap my head around LD. What I do works fine including the judgement involved.

    Deflection question, explain how a stiffer CF shaft has less deflection.

    I suppose but got no reason to switch. Maybe one. I reason you can spin many shots with more force with CF but with no pool rooms here, moot.

    Deflection question, explain how a stiffer CF shaft has less deflection.

    I tried an LD wood shaft maybe 10 years ago. I couldn't get the hit on that 90 plus degree table length frozen to the short rail cut. That was the end of that. With standard shafts 4/5 ball give or take and it was dead. BHE plain works.

    3 things you would change about pool

    2) Once everyone has mastered 3" pool pockets, a division of full rack games played to the last ball for total ball count. In Banks, 15 points per rack In One Pocket, 15 points per rack In 15 ball rotation, 15 points per rack, all the way out. Last ball determines who breaks.

    Deflection question, explain how a stiffer CF shaft has less deflection.

    I go by maple shaft, long ferrule and BHE. No confusion whatsoever. :cool::p:ROFLMAO:

    Should I have seen this coming? Would you have?

    The 2 railer to the side happens to me just running the CB off a cut. I think the outside spin you had on it sealed it. There's also a 3 or 4 to the corner off your bank.

    Deflection question, explain how a stiffer CF shaft has less deflection.

    A toothpick that won't defer to a CB. Huh meny grams?

    Mark Tad?

    Good. I gotta say, given the futility of this sports fan-ism, I base my favorites on what comes out their pool cue. I also refuse to pick.

    Mark Tad?

    You mean compared to I'm mostly honest? I dunno - when you claim an immutable state, that state has to be 100% - regardless of how sure you are. I don't know Mark. I like most have only heard of his 15 minutes. I do recall a guy I ran into that claimed he gave Mark the 8 and collected. Meant...

    Mark Tad?

    I do think you cannot know why he did so well. Even the FBI only renders opinions. The CIA might start shooting though that's still not proof.

    Deflection question, explain how a stiffer CF shaft has less deflection.

    Along the lines of the OP, if you ran a cueball past a solidly anchored cocktail toothpick (umbrella parts removed), don't you have close to 100% deflection?
