First not all Z2 shafts test better than 314. Some do and some don't. Where dealing with production here and all those shafts do not test the same. The Z2 or the 314. End mass has a lot to do with squirt, but so does the shaft flexibility. Just not as much. There was not a debate about which was...

I am not sure what tests you are referring to or who did the tests. But compared to the tests I did, they are flawed. Shaft flexibility almost has as much effect as end mass. I would say if end mass is worth 45% then shaft flexibility is worth some where between 35% to 40%. Again this is not me...

I don't know who you are but you are 100% correct on every thing you stated. I could not have explained it better. Just about every thing you stated is written in books for golf and archery but the sport I love (pool) seems like the last to get any technology. I am sure it is because there is no...

I just read the link you posted regarding Dr. Dave. The picture of a cut a way LD shaft is there. The wood that is being drilled out does not weigh a whole lot. If his theory is correct then when I drill out a shaft 8 inches deep and test it in the robot and then drill it out another 8 inches...

Patrick, I never said by making it skinnier. There are more ways to make a shaft more flexible. I get guys all the time that want me to decrease the squirt or cue ball deflection in their shaft but they don't want to change the diameter. They are used to the taper and tip size and don't want to...

OK, I still stand behind this. "...bending or flexing of the shaft allows the cue ball to go straighter decreasing cue ball deflection." I can prove this and have proved this. It is very true. I will put my money where my mouth is here and have the ability to prove it. But your right that...

I am surprised you didn't say Mika. He is down in your neck of the woods lately. Or Dave Hemma. Hell your hitten em pretty good too.

Hi Daniel, I have been to many instructors and I am no where near satisfied with my game. I think it has a lot to do with how much time your able to spend practicing. I recommend Vilmos Foldes. He is in Fresno now as I am sure you are aware. Maybe Oscar D. These guys are always in the top 5 on...

I remember the corked bat theory. In my study and findings which is with pool cues, it is hard to compare lightened baseball bats and them being proven to be less effective in hitting the ball longer distances than unmodified traditional bats because every modified bat plays differently and so...

Not sure what I stated 5 years ago and to busy to look it up. What I can say is this. I work on a lot of high end cues, Gina's, Tads, Hunters, just to name a few. I remember when I got laughed off this forum for saying I have Tuned LD shafts for $525. This was quite a few years ago when some of...

Sounds like your talking about some of my earlier cues, I now make them with fatter points or any style the buyer would like. Same with the ring work. The buyer has so many options. The buyer also can pick what ever ferrule he wants. You can basically design your cue off our web site with many...

The flare at the end of the cue serves a few purposes. First, I was not the inventor. I first saw this in The Blue Book of Pool Cues from cue builder Perry Weston back in 2002. I loved the look. In my opinion, it finished the cue. Sort of like the end of a sword or knife. Walking canes and even...

Wow , your making this complicated and a lot of work. Doesn't every body know these principles by now. Ok, here it goes. Squirt: the amount the cue ball comes off center using side spin. Also known as cue ball deflection. Example: Using right side spin the cue ball squirts to the left. Zero...

Joey, The reason zero cue ball squirt seems impossible is because it is unless you over pump the Shi* out of the shaft. You can not get zero squirt by lightening up the end of the shaft alone. Not sure where in California you are but I bet your with in 5 hrs from me. Come out here and I will...

I came up with it on my own back in 1997 way before OB came into the picture. I have many witnesses to this. We started manufacturing Barioni Cues in 2002 and the first one was completed and sold for $700 August 7, 2003. At that time all most every one in the pool halls said that the wood...

I did not build this shaft. It is the original shaft. I cut the original ferrule off and Corked the shaft. Installed a new ferrule and Kamui black tip (Medium). I then tested it i the robot to test the playability and deflection. I took about 75% of the deflection out. This shaft test real good...
