You are referring to these two sets of results shown below. I await Dave's answer. I find it hard to believe that some of the higher-cost shafts performed worse than the cheap CF shafts (the 11.8mm Whyte Triple Sixty TS1 worse than the 12.5mm WSC Jungle, for example). I suspect there are...

Maybe the era exclusive to Predator for low-deflection shafts has ended. Given the two Dr Dave videos, it appears there aren't significant differences in deflection among these shafts: 11.8mm Predator Revo; 12.5mm JFlowers SMO; 11.9mm Whyte Triple 60 TS1; 11.8mm Wheat State Gen...

Rhino's older version --- not Rhino Must: __

Some mind-boggling results finding deflection among these inexpensive shafts like that of the Revo. Got to think some more about this. Cue tips can be very important in causing deflection!!!! An 11.8mm Rhino soft cue tip likely caused "off the charts' deflection in about 20% of shots at low...

From Becue's website: Wood applied to carbon as a natural veneer, a real layer of timber wrapped around the monolithic carbon fiber structure that defines every Becue cue. This is not a wood cue with a carbon core. The carbon structure is intact, uninterrupted, carrying every vibration, every...

No, but not hip.

Can you talk about Wheat State's carbon types Rolled and Wound? Which one was used in Dr Dave's test? Does it matter? From Wheat State's Facebook page: WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ROLLED AND WOUND CARBON? -Rolled and wound carbon are made using a different process. There's no "better"...

Yes. Paladin Precision does not recommend sanding its $50 cue tip before gluing: Paladin writes: Do I need to scuff or score the bottom of the tip before installing? No. Paladin Precision tips feature our BondLock™ Interface, a pre-engineered adhesion surface on the glue side of the tip. The...

For what its worth, Moritz is doing the same eye movements close to an object done with determining vision center. That is, one looks at a line that is broken by a drop in height and finds where the line stays straight. Somewhere between the eyes moving right or left, he sees straight lines as...

A glimpse of L.S.Dennis:

BigBreakSheikhYT rated Cuelees' shafts his top three shafts. Number one was EX Solid that looks like wood near the cue tip and carbon fiber near the joint. Its more complicated, however, than that. Near the tip are two types of wood ("internal reinforcement of . . . various wood species"). A...

Sort of . . . Cuetec Avid shafts are fiberglass outside and maple inside

Maybe an option to learn more about conversions is to practice on cheap house cues. Photos below are from an AZ post by Mr. Joshua of no-collar Valley Supreme conversions. I have three Valley Supreme II A-0 that were, I believe, made in January 2010. AZer Lakeman77 claimed Valley Supreme...

Kamui states that "no sanding of the bottom layer is needed" for the Kamui clear tips with its transparent bottom layer:

Halfway from center to edge on the CB is half the radius, or 0.5R. Dr Dave achieved a 0.55R without miscuing here. The spin rate at 0.5R was a 25% higher roll rate than the natural roll rate versus 37% higher roll rate at 0.55R.

Usually all aiming is done standing up and double check down on shot. There is no go left and right if things feel wrong. Eyeballing the shot is as simple as that. Someone smarter than me would know if you are suggesting something to do with visual issues of eye dominance, visual center, or...

"Walk up a little more left or a little more right" suggests its not that simple and may have taken some time to have figured that out. Keeping it simple is what a lot, a lot, of people do. In the book on how to play pool "The 99 Critical Shots in Pool", the author does a super KISS and the...

Jacoby's website shows some of their award-winning cues and, yes, great finish. Yours looks great, too. But, others, like the Element Series, I can't tell from the photos:
