i whole heartedly agree with this and then the joint

it probably is for softshot he is so good he doesnt need any spin of any kind any time just one center ball hit till the next untill he makes his 2 in a row

Maybe in your area but in this area we play on 9 footers in pool rooms and we have a lot of league players that play the open tournaments and a few take down the pros here and there.

dues In this area we play on open tables but dues are $9 with $2 going to the host establishment.

i would have to say least feedback would be a kamui ss but that is a little softer than a med soft snd after that an elk unpressed however the kamui ss is a whole different tip agter it compresses to about half its original height then i love it and the feedback is increased. I guess i would...

i have to agree with that and add that what yeilds best performance for one person may well be worst for someone else as i personally have never liked the hit of a southwest.

i would argue there is more difference in tips than just hardness. There can be and are 2 tips which can have exactly the same durometer reading under a test nd then have a totally different rebound coefficient and will hit totally different.

low d shaft It is further true that shaft is probably in the neighborhood of 30 percent of hit with the joint being about 30 percent of hit and tip being about 40 percent so if you are so wrapped up in what the cue maker intended dont change the tip either.

Perhaps some of us have more discerning tastes than you do and prefer the dom with the sunny d but if you cant taste the difference that is fine for you. I also prefer stoli and tanguerey regardless what mixer i use.

That would be fine except that first predator doesnt make any cues to my specs so that isnt possible and second i am not fond of their designs or their joints. So my only real choibe is to have a cue made to my specs with the shaft of my choice but nice try for me the cue brand is not an ego...

Well that all depends on if your cue maker knows the exact weight and joint diameter of your low d shaft. Some of us buy a custom for specific reasons such as getting the exact weight and balance point and joint we want as well as a few other options we want that are not available in off the...

try this hit a ball with heavy sidespin to a rail slowly and watch it come off the rail.

Agreed and i knew that i was just pointing out the very real reason for the lamination of the shafts which is why meucci puts a dot on their non lam shaft to keep it turned the same direction each time you shoot for the greatest consistency although i am not a meucci fan just saying.

As far as the explanation goes your brain adjusts to the deflection you get when using english over time and pdactice to the point where you dont even realize you are making the adjustment then when it isnt there you tend to hit spin shots to full till you get adjusted back the other way. And as...

predator on custom The best thing you can do is ignore all these opinions on predator and custom shafts and try both and see what suits your game and feels best to you. There are plenty of top p;ayers out there using predator shafts and most custom makers have predator blanks as a shaft option...

government cause With 2 series of quantitative easing by the fed which is equal to printing excess dollars you devalue the dollar which makes it weaker versus other currencies thus the government does cause price increaes in the price of imported goods.

preferred shaft shot with schon cues and shafts for years then went to pre cat 314 and once i got used to the reduced squirt liked it and stayed with it till a few weeks ago and tried a z2 again and i love it with a kamui black medium.

racking actually i believe that the 2 at the rear of the rack will in higher percentage of racks than not send it up to the head of the table but placing it behind the 9 will in higher percentage of racks leave it near the foot rail with the one either being pocketed in the side or going toward...

sorry Neil I think i set the shot up with a thinner cut on the 4 than the one you had in your diagram my bad second coice float down table close to even with the 5 for a tangent line shot to breakout and adjust with top and side as needed. Call me moron the cut looked thinner first time i...
