This is pure structural mechanics stuff. The stiffness of a shaft is proportional to the 4th power of its diameter and inversely proportional the the square of its length. Given that the length of the shaft is essentially constant:: The stiffness is proportional to 4th power (d^4) its diameter...

Bad coder.....

a) your table is not level b) your stroke is not aimed along the line you think it is c) your stroke makes contact with CB other than where you think it does

I have been retired for so long that every day is just like every other day, I often forget what day (of the week) it is, Daylight wasting time caught me off guard, And summer past without much notice.

That is almost as evil as asking your opponent, after he has warmed up, if you can clean the balls before the match starts .....

If you have to shape our tip more than 2× a year, it is too soft. If a cube of chalk lasts less than 2,000 hours of play, you are not chalking correctly. I get close to 2 years per single cube of chalk. Look for something in the 80-84 hardness test on a durometer.

Both tables at my local bar are challenge tables. Anyone can put quarters on the table and get in line. {Its only $0.50/rack} Previous winner chooses the game--generally 8-ball, occasionally bank-the-8, occasionally last-pocket-8, occasionally 1-15...

Lucasi jump cue ! At the local bar, I use 3-rail, 5-rail, and jump shots at least 5 times a night. A lot more often if playing a novice, just to give them more laying time.

This is hard precisely because we have no recorded history of 17th century pool/billiards. It is also hard because there are 4×10**9 years left before our sun burns out. Many of the more ancient players did not play in tournaments but went from city to city giving pool its seedy nature.

Wrong end ...

80-grit fingernail file.

Ferrule:: yes--the forces on the tip of a jump cue are greater than a wood shaft can handle. XXHard is as soft a tip as I would put on a jump cue.

Buddy Holly was a musical legend that would stack up...........Oh Wait............wrong Buddy...............

Make the break a jump shot over some barrier that is immediately removed afterwards. There is no way to hit 1-B at 30 MPH after jumping over 2.75" of interference.

This, BTW.

You make "living through a depression" sound beneficial. per day for years Somebody at the top of our *.gov may have just engineered our next large and long depression. maybe pool has a chance...

If someone walks by a place where a robbery will take place less than a month into the future, AI will be able to pin the robbery on the someone just walking by.

I prefer watching 8-ball and snooker over any of the rotation games.

Back in 1983, the computer world had been using Harmonic mean to rank different computer systems and assign a single number which could be compared. This had been in use for nearly 2 decades--mid-late 1960s ... Then some mathematical people go together and showed that using the Geometric mean...

A few years ago a friend of mine died. I got a birthday greeting from her from LinkedIN then later a "congratulate her for a k-th year at CompanyX" I tried to tell them that she had died, when, where, and cause. They responded that they needed response from HER in order to quit sending...
