It's unfortunate (to me as a viewer) that KPC is focusing mainly on Heyball these days, I'd love to see him added to the Filler/Gorst rivalry

I see this cited a lot, yet interestingly wood shafts (among pros) are far more popular among people in hot/humid places like Taiwan and the Philippines while carbon dominates Europe.

It appears that pro pool phased in ball in hand in by the end of the 1980s. But what about amateur leagues like APA and BCA? My google searching did not bring up any exact answers. And even when amateur leagues adopted ball in hand, how common was it for non-league players to play with ball in...

Well, Predator events bring back a more conventional rack at least.

Intentional fouls being illegal in Heyball is lame IMO

Didn't Dr. Dave disprove the idea that elevation creates more draw?

Modern pro pool pockets aren't exactly buckets anyway. Seems like a common complaint among old time pool fans is that the 4 inch pockets of modern elite pool allow for significantly less pocket cheating.

I have to disagree about Vikings and even McDermotts being ugly (besides the butt cap). Viking has a lot of great designs

I'm sure baseball fans prefer to hear wood bat crack over aluminum bat ping

I just find the Mezz designs to be super boring. If not for that I would totally consider buying one.

Looks nice, you'll have to post pics when it arrives

Those side pockets sure aren't generous And I honestly love the shootout

Savannah Easton is not even 18 and she uses a wood shaft. I don't even find there to be much of a correlation between age and carbon use, but rather location (Asia = more wood). And on the amateur side of things, the vast majority of the cues I see at league are wood or hybrids, though carbon...

Cool! I hope to see a video like this some day for the various wood shafts marketed as LD, would be interesting.

That's my least favorite UP rule

Joss cues (particularly the 10, HM, and Hoppe liens) are way more interesting looking that Mezz cues IMO

Most amateurs can't even reliably pot with no English, why should they use even more sidespin if they don't know how to adjust for deflection?

Ko Ping Chung is playing outstanding pool with a wood shaft, 13mm tip, and no glove. But I assume the shaft he uses is LD relative to old school wood shafts.

Nobody is gonna fall for a "Sneaky Pete" in 2026 anyway, it's better that your cue actually looks nice rather than resemble a $30 house cue

The good news is that the lacquered wrap means you'll probably never have to have any work done on it. And congrats on the cue! It's gorgeous. I have an entry level Meucci with the standard pro shaft and I love it, one day if I have the money I might get one of the higher end designs.
