I was so out of it one morning that I mistakenly put Nestle's Quik in my orange juice instead of in my milk. After breakfast, I played pool, so it's a pool related thread.

At the pool table, I ran a rack of straight pool, got back in the chair and waited for my opponent to rack. He didn't get up and I wondered why. It turned out that the six ball was frozen to the top rail and I hadn't noticed it at all. Of course, this oversight cost me my run.

I recall the time I had trouble opening the locker in which I stored my cue at the poolroom. I approached the person at the front desk and asked for help. I gave him my locker key and he effortlessly opened it for me. The reason I had failed to open my locker was that I was mistakenly trying to open the wrong locker.

The morons are the ones that originally hijack other peoples posts

Shafts won't improve your skill level, but after 31 years of use I am replacing mine with a new shaft because it has developed a few nicks over the years. I guess if you want to hijack it to a swallowing egg comment then carry on!

I had a meeting in work 50 miles away. Had a storm, everything was iced when I tried to leave. Went out, tried the key on the car, pulled etc, couldn't open my car. Called triple A to open it. Guy came, took a scraper to the window to look at the lock button. Was a '91 nissan, the locks were still visible. He turned the key and opened the door. My wife watched this from in the house. I made the meeting.

Now he's posting this over in the Carom forum, too. Not sure why it's so important we know about the kielwood shaft?

I was simply answering the question that was posted.....
Not sure why it's so important that you question my reply?
Maybe ask them why they want to know what others are using if you really want to question other peoples posts??

Sounds disgusting.

In the Carom forum, though. You answered what cue you ordered to play 8 ball in the Carom forum.

[Brother Ron]

I never said I ordered it to play 8 ball... I simply stated that I mostly play 8 ball!
You seem like someone that needs to have a picture drawn for them to understand things?

Someone posted that a Kielwood shaft doesn’t elevate your level of pool skills that is absolutely correct.
You know what you know and don’t know what you do not know, i.e.,pool skills. There’s no disputing that.

Nonetheless, Kielwood shafts that are built to match your pool cue butt will enable you to play better pool
without elevating your pool skills. You will be able to aim tighter and shoot straighter on cut shots and center
ball just seems friendlier because you can send the cue ball seemingly straighter, or so it appears to one’s eye.

The shaft doesn’t elevate your skills but really helps you to play angles more than English to get shape. You’ll
more reliably and confidently send the cue ball 7-8-9’ to hit an object ball with either inside or running English
or follow, feather the CB off the rail for a frozen OB and pretty much any shot you can come up with.

However, there is a footnote to getting a KW shaft. Most KW shafts are likely lighter than your cue’s orig. maple
shafts. If you are going to get a KW shaft, strive to get one that’s at least the same weight as your current shaft.

That isn’t going to be as easy as it seems if you are playing with old growth maple shafts that tend to be heavier.
I currently have 4 KW shafts and 3 of the 4 are four ounces while the other is 3.82 ozs. and all are flat faced joints.
The lightest KW shaft is .15 ozs lighter than one of my maple shafts and the others match my original maple shafts.

If I were ordering a cue, I’d ask the cue maker to build a KW to be the same weight as a maple shaft would turn out.
KW shafts don’t have to be lighter than your maple shafts despite what others tell you. The cue maker needs to have a heavier blank instead of randomly choosing one from inventory. The builder has to be selective when picking a blank.

Kielwood is the best thing that happened for wood shafts that I can think of. Although CF is the rage, it does not feel as
great as wood without a glove in a closed bridge, the acoustics suck, the aim picture isn’t as pleasing to me and although
CF deflection is lower than Kielwood, the difference seems rather minuscule to me versus Kielwood.
