Although that may be true, the fact remains that most manufacturers (especially Predator) lighten the end of the cue by making it more flexible...intentionally or unintentionally. Even if it you hollow out only the last 5 inches of the cue, as Predator does, it makes at least a portion of the...

Your knowledge of pool cues amazes me! An LD shaft IS a whippy shaft! The shaft deflects so that the cue ball does not! When I was on the road, every time I used to walk into a bar, I used a house cue. Every time I walk out of the bar I had a pocket full of money! I played mostly people like...

The LD market hasn't fizzled because of idiots like you that think a gimmick will make you a better shot maker!

In physics, for objects in motion there is no difference...acceleration is ANY change in an objects velocity! Put your money where your mouth is! I'm coming to Chicago soon to visit my daughter and grandson...you play the way you just described (since it has no effect on the shot) and I will...

The two best American players were Hoppe and Mosconi. They didn't use it, Efren doesn't neither does Archer, Davenport, Wiley, & Strickland just to name a few. The two you mention are PAID to use them.

PJ you are so wrong...you simply do NOT know what you're talking about. Go back to physics class! A change in velocity is acceleration, it doesn't have to be constant, and doesn't have to be equal, and it doesn't have to be in any direction! "Any change in the velocity of an object results in...

1. Duh, how did it do that (undergo a change in velocity)? By definition to "undergo a change in velocity" is to accelerate. Therefore the cue DOES accelerate after contact! 2. Of course it is needed to make the shot. The cue ball has no forward momentum without the application of force. Since...

Just because CJ has labelled TOI as a way of playing does not mean sidespin is not applied to the cueball. When you hit the cueball on either side it IS called English! I've been using a "touch of inside" long before CJ was born! If a LD shaft makes you a better shotmaker, why is it over 60% of...

So you really believe it is NOT necessary to follow through with your stroke? The cue does NOT naturally re-accelerate after contact...there must be something propelling it! In accord with Newton's second law of motion, the acceleration of an object is dependent upon both force and mass. Thus...

Acceleration needs to continue AFTER impact! EVERY great shotmaker will use TOI at some point! Whether it is for shotmaking or position play. Even I do not use it for every shot, but I do use it for many shots. Maybe the only people that do not use TOI is those who think a low deflection shaft...

Since you have nothing to add, why don't YOU become the 1st to boycott! :eek:

Price reduced to $100! Must sell!

It's like putting, decelerate at impact and you miss the putt! When I used to teach, a drill I used was to simply pocket 10 racks of balls into the corner pocket with NO object ball. After contacting the cueball touch the cue tip to the cloth (I would lay a piece of cloth over the table cloth)...

To clarify...I do not believe that 99.99% of the people aim or align themselves like the pros do. SP99 was the one that said they did! To the question "So now the position is that the pros don't aim?" - I believe now and I have always believed that the pros do NOT aim...consciously! I believe...

I think YOU have just described why 99.99% of the people are not very good shotmakers!

There is a difference. People can now comment on your post without the post being bumped to the top. Otherwise, all the friends of so many dealers here (I think they used to just bump each others thread) can comment on a post without the post being bumped to the top. Now there is a "Bump" button...

It's working and I like it!:thumbup:

Looks like a Michael Li?
