Some people just like recreational math, numbers and statistics. They find it fun and enjoyable, and they like to apply it to pool...

I have some advice: Don't read it. Play more pool.

They were all already made And for some reason this particular video (my favorite one) seems to make a lot of people upset

To bust some of the myths and misconceptions being repeated in this thread, here's the straight truth for typical pool shots using...

Nah it won't produce a higher spin to speed ratio

I went and recorded a few shots, but the realized that I mixed up French words in my head. Here are some examples of piqués. I am...

I didn’t say anything about “wood” or “regular deflection,” but a “whippy” shaft (regardless of what is made of) can certainly make...

If the shaft had similar bending stiffness to one with higher end mass, this is probably true. Generally CF shafts are higher bending...

I'm not sure if deflection directly contributes to the difficulty of a Fouetté shot. I'd like to hear more thoughts on this.

Sure thing! I’ll make one this week

I think that because of the usually higher stiffness of a carbon fiber shaft, it would at least be more difficult to perform a Fouetté...

The subtle effects mentioned above are of no practical importance, but the differences in CB deflection between an LD and non-LD shaft...

Good observations, but be aware that the illustrations are very exaggerated (to make the effects clearly visible). The differences you...

An interesting point from all of this is that for higher deflection cues, the amount of spin imparted is slightly less sensitive to tip...

So here is a ponit to ponder, see if you follow me on this.. Using backhand English your tip off set is actually further from center...
