    Hey Cuetec, please make a Cynergy CF shaft in 12.25mm-12.3mm

    See discussion about weak, mushroom-making, Cynergy ferrules that should be replaced with elforyn or tomahawk material (and not Rhino's $5 ferrule) at https://forums.azbilliards.com/threads/cuetec-repair.550033/

    Hey Cuetec, please make a Cynergy CF shaft in 12.25mm-12.3mm

    I am just happy Cuetec has a 10.5mm shaft size. The only other CFs that size are Rhino, Cuppa, Konllen, Cuedesg, Preoaidr, and David Loman. I believe there was once a 10.5mm Revo.

    Mark Wilson on sidespin to pocket balls

    Figure 6-15 would contradict that or, at least, show minimal throw from inside english at cuts greater than about 32 degrees. It finds no more or less throw on object ball from cue ball hit with inside english compared to no english at cuts greater than about 32 degrees. The only throw at >32...

    Mark Wilson on sidespin to pocket balls

    Mark Wilson spoke about how English only added a “whisker” of spin to object balls in one kind of shot (see video at 1:50 minutes). This is the shot of cue ball at 45 degrees to an object ball frozen to the rail. He puts inside English on cue ball, hits cushion first, and then CB hits object...

    Dime vs Nickel tip

    A 101-year-old here complains that he can't see, asks if the 4 ball is the 8 ball, has no pre-shot routine, and pockets balls practically standing up. He must be relying on muscle memory. He's slow in the last year but still pockets balls when he shouldn't. He might be a liar.

    Billard Eye Glasses

    I went to my local eye doctor and got a prescription for reading and distance bifocal (and bought eyeglasses). I then used that Rx to order the Curran eyeglasses from the web. I also sent a picture of my stance on the pool table to him.

    Dime vs Nickel tip

    From Dr Dave's Cue Tip Size and Shape Effects. Figure below shows cue tip hitting at the cue-ball's miscue limit. The cue ball will hit the 10mm cue-tip edge --- not the front surface of the tip ---if the tip is shaped to nickel versus some of the tip hitting cue ball if shaped to a dime...
