    Deflection question, explain how a stiffer CF shaft has less deflection.

    Pool shafts used to be 13-14mm So compared to that, 12mm has much less front end mass. 3C shafts also used to have a shorter ferrule that reduces weight. Modern pool shafts that have smaller diameter and shorter ferrule reduce the difference.

    Deflection question, explain how a stiffer CF shaft has less deflection.

    they use to be with a smaller diameter than a standard pool shaft so they had lower end mass = lower deflection (same goes for snooker cues) Predator Z shaft deflects less than the 314, the Z has a conical taper, it is stiffer but smaller diameter and lower end mass.

    Deflection question, explain how a stiffer CF shaft has less deflection.

    There are CF shafts out there that flex more, like the SMO and Cuetec. It is really comes down to the taper that affects the flexibility that you feel in your hand. The front end mass is what makes the shaft to deflect more or less. I believe that the flexibility at the end of the shaft is...

    Should I have seen this coming? Would you have?

Won my first match 3-0 Second match, I played a weak opponent, I got the first game with a long combo on the 9. And then 3 games in a row - I...

    Shot Clock - What's the point?

    Of course you’ll need more people but one per table and not two. They don’t even have to be an official referee, just time keepers. Could be juniors or seniors. Time keeping doesn’t even have to be dead accurate, it’s just a way to pace the game. A second here and there missed at starting the...

    Shot Clock - What's the point?

    If you watch other events, the referee hold some kind of timer and he holds his hand up every time he reset it. There is mo need for two people

    Shot Clock - What's the point?

    Just to clarify, when I ask - what's the point? I'm not against it, I'm for it. I just think that it should be on all tables in a pro or open tournament. I don't think it's needed for amatuer leagues.

    Shot Clock - What's the point?

    What's the point of having a shot clock only on the TV table? This favor the top pros who get more TV table time, and does nothing for the game. I get that on TV we want to see fast action and make it less boring but conditions should be equal to all during a turnament.
