    Taper of the butt portion?

    I appreciate your take. I understand calling the curved part of a shaft parabolic is convenient and going to be close. Close is good enough, right? Hyperbolic is also going to be very close, as well as logarithmic. In one of the previous "parabolic" threads, someone else mentioned a...

    Taper of the butt portion?

    No worries. Most of our differences will never be resolved, and we don't really want that to happen 100%. The majority of us are good natured to each other and want to edify in order to further the craft in whatever way we can contribute. Hopefully we, as a group, didn't fail to answer your...

    What is the greatest single achievement in sports?

    They won it 8 in a row, 11 of 13. At that time, there were only 8 teams in the league. Still amazing though.

    What is the greatest single achievement in sports?

    Miracle on Ice should be in the discussion for sure. The entire team was made up of amateurs, average age of 21. Soviets were seasoned pros that won 6 of the last 7 gold medals. The Soviet team beat the NHL all stars in a challenge match 6-0 and was 5 -3-1 against NHL teams in the same year...

    Coring, tolerances?

    I believe that to be accurate. I'm not sure myself, but I heard the difference is sooooo small it takes a Geschrey to measure it.
