    Carbon Fiber vs Maple - Density and Squirt

    You mean the distribution of mass along the cue’s length? As others said, I think it’s all about the mass in the first several inches at the tip, not its distribution along the entire length. pj chgo

    Balance point and deflection

    Actually, that affects the amount of compensation, not the amount of deflection itself. Hate to see a nit go unpicked… pj chgo

    Aiming B.S.

    Like I said, you do you. But since you’re presenting your method on this public forum I feel obligated to clarify for other, maybe less experienced readers that, although your visualization can come close for straighter shots, and although you clearly make it work for you, it doesn’t work as...

    Carbon Fiber vs Maple - Density and Squirt

    Just because I was curious, here's a simple diagram of the cross sections of two 12mm shafts, carbon fiber and maple, showing the thickness of CF walls needed to equal the mass of the equal diameter maple shaft (for CF that's 2.5 times as dense as maple, which Google says is more or less...

    Aiming B.S.

    Yeah, if you told me to try shooting every shot centerball-to-centerball I wouldn't need to "try" that either to know it won't work. Some things are just obvious with a basic understanding of the simple geometry involved. You do you. But everybody else who might be unsure about this, Google...

    Aiming B.S.

    They are geometrically sound (ignoring squirt/throw, etc.) - but they're not the only geometrically sound aiming method. Ghost ball immediately comes to mind. Show us a "correctly envisioned" equilateral triangle for connecting contact points. Again, if the lines aren't parallel (none of the...

    Aiming B.S.

    “Parallel lines” aiming is often (incorrectly) described that way, but it’s actually impossible to connect those points - you’ll always hit the OB too full unless you subconsciously adjust thinner. The correct way to use “parallel lines” aiming is to visualize the line through the CB, not also...

    Sight Sizes (Diamond Sizes)...

    I choose the point on the cushion nose that's "equal angle" to the target (whether at a sight or between them), then visualize a line running perpendicular across the rail at that point from cushion nose to the outer edge and choose a point on that line that I've learned works for how steep or...

    Another Bad Draw-Miscue-Scoop Foul Call in a Major Pro Pool Tournament

    Nah - it was obviously joking sarcasm, only “inappropriate” to somebody who missed that. pj chgo
