Chris’s here in Chicago has pretty good Dufferin wallabushkas and also a rack behind the counter of decent two-piece cues you can borrow for a few bucks.

Straighter, since it has to be restricted to a one dimensional line (a slanted piston stroke). A pendulum is simpler, only restricted to a vertical plane with vertical accuracy at contact ensured by careful setup and a fixed elbow.

Like a piston stroke at an angle… I guess that’s geometrically plausible, if a little physiologically challenging. However they do it, Keith and other notable chicken wingers make it work.

What’s the problem?
I’ve had a beaver pond/dams directly below my deck in Colorado for decades - all they’ve ever done to me is be cute.
Bears, on the other hand (also cute, but...)
