    Lifting heavy weights and shooting good pool do not go together

    STRONG/BIG ARM JOHN from INDY had a blacktop construction biz and pushed a lot of iron in his day. He played at a very strong shortstop level ( on a bar tabe) in addition to being a fine hoopster. It looks like some of the Euros dabble in iron, however, not at John's level.

    Who makes the best wooden shafts?

    Excellent taper, fit at joint and ferrule is DYNO....my only issue is the last few i've had were a little on the light side at 3.7 to 3.9 oz which is fine for shafts without an insert, however, the shafts i had were fitted to piloted joints

    Per the plant manager the right words are said, too soon to tell if that translates into improved performance esp., across the board increased, consistent quality imo we'll be able to evaluate results in 6 to 12 months
