    Anyone live near McDermott production plant?

    Just wondering what kind of in store specials they offer as well as what kind of discounts they offer on surface blemished cues?

    What shaft?

    I might do that since I want to go to Plover and visit a one of my sisters again in the next few days.

    Understanding Cue Tip Softness and Spin

    I have checked his videos out and they are pretty good. However theory vs sustainable research leaves a lot to be desired. I would like to hear what Bob Jewett has to say about differences in various shafts and tip reactions that he has experienced with his study on Iron Willie and Meucci's Myth...

    Understanding Cue Shaft Flexibility

    These are not my conclusions.... I just found the reports from doing a little online research. I'm thinking the scientists and professors doing these studies have a little better understanding of physics than you do??

    Understanding Cue Tip Softness and Spin

    a soft cue tip increases the amount of spin on a cue ball primarily due to its ability to deform upon impact, which enhances contact time and friction between the tip and ball, allowing for effective energy transfer and greater control over off-center hits.

    Understanding Cue Shaft Flexibility

    I have always known they did, I just didn't understand how until I did a little research.

    What shaft?

    Please see the new posts I put in the main forum regarding shaft and cue tip factors contributing to cue ball spin. ; )

    Understanding Cue Shaft Flexibility

    Understanding Cue Shaft Flexibility To understand why a whippy cue shaft can create more spin on the cue ball, we need to break down several key concepts related to cue mechanics, including flexibility, energy transfer, and tip contact. 1. Definition of Whippy Cues A whippy cue is characterized...

    Understanding Cue Tip Softness and Spin

    Understanding Cue Tip Softness and Spin To understand how a soft cue tip can increase the amount of spin on a cue ball, we need to break down the mechanics of how the cue tip interacts with the cue ball during a shot. 1. Contact Time and Friction When a player strikes the cue ball with a soft...

    What shaft?

    I want a back-up and it would make more sense to purchase an extra shaft rather than another cue. Seriously.

    What shaft?

    Actually, I have no intention of going to a carbon shaft so I should probably be a little more specific. Meucci offers 4 wooden shafts. Classic, Red dot, Pro, and Kielwood. My question is this - should I stick with a Meucci Cassic shaft, or go with a Meucci Pro wooden shaft or Keilwood shaft...

    What shaft?

    I have not played competitive pool since around 2006 at which time I would say I was probably a 520 player compared to todays fargo rating. I recently started playing again at a friends pool room and am shooting a little under people in the 520 rating but improving as the rust falls off. I...

    Ultraskin comparison.

    One would probably be the quality of the tip since leather and other proponents determine how well the tip "Grips" the cue ball and thus is able to create more spin on the ball... Consider wood vs rubber - which one would be able to cause more spin and which one would simply slide off? The same...
