Here’s what Bob said about his black dot shafts... The Meucci Black Dot Shaft What makes the Meucci Black Dot Shaft different from other shafts on the market? The primary difference is in the construction. Utilizing similar technology to the Predator shaft, the Meucci Black Dot...

I also said this in the same post....there are some very good wood shafts that are probably equivalent to a Becue shaft but how do you know which wood shaft is? Wood is not a consistent material, by having a consistent material to work with you get more consistent results, it's why some guitars...

I'll bet that you don't have a 32mph + break stroke speed like SVB, not a lot of people do, so what he can apply and you can apply is different, some people have better quick twitch muscles than others, this is a fact in all sports, you say there is no feel in CF shafts, my guess is you haven't...

I find the difference small but this is a game of millimeters, there will be inconsistencies in where you intended to strike the cueball and where you actually struck it as well, so for my real world experience may contain some of these flaws, I'm working with drills to discover better cueball...

In my real world experience I have found I need to play closer to the center of the cueball when applying sidespin, when applying max sidespin it is almost unusable except on VERY rare occasions, Becue cues are full CF, even the butt, I had a beautiful custom cue that played great, this cue just...

I did say how, when striking the cue ball, your cue and therefore shaft will lose some of the force YOU applied during your stroke, compression of your tip then ferrule then shaft then butt all contribute to this lose of force as well as cloth ect. I was just focusing on the cue, that's why the...

CF shafts do not add power, what they do is transfer the power from YOUR stroke more efficiently, not all CF shafts are created equally, Becue cues have a CF butt as well and it is designed to transfer power more efficiently, you can stroke with less force and get more action, you can play with...

I agree except that CF doesn't ADD power, CF doesn't rob as much power from your stroke as most wood shafts, the other benefit is consistency from shaft to shaft, if you pop a tip off in a match, if your spare shaft is the same as your playing shaft with the same tip I have found no difference...

Speed is speed, some have it naturally......

The same can be said of speed of stroke, SVB has a 30+ mph break speed, mine is a paltry 14 mph, I can't change my quick twitch speed but mass × speed = force.......

Been working on that lately, been doing a lot of positional drills, I found myself ALWAYS using too much sidespin, not taking into account the natural angles and ending up with worse position by using too much sidespin, I must admit, it truly looks impressive, until the end of the match when...

Duct tape and electrical tape, Roadie must haves.......

Best advice I got is the eight ball doesn't know it's the eight ball, it's just another shot, do you stress when you miss the 2 ball or 14 ball? There is no more pressure in making the 8 ball than any other ball on the table.

CF transfers power more efficiently than MOST wood shafts, wood is not uniform, one wood shaft rarely plays like another wood shaft, when you get consistency in the material you are working with and you design the material for a specific purpose it's not a surprise for you to get better...

I hear a lot of older players say they would like to try a CF shaft but most CF shafts are on the smaller side and don't feel comfortable to someone who has been playing with a bigger shaft, I was not an early adopter of CF, Hawaiian Eye turned me on to Becue and I have been playing them for...

Not for people who play at a high level and can run rack after rack, there is a certain amount of luck on the break but even there is more precision for the Pro's, just my 2 cents.....

That's why I said I believe he is, he is 6'1"

Hitting the cueball maybe, but actually having even an amateur stroke.......probably not.

There is no best tip only the best tip for you, just like cue weights and lengths, SVB I believe is 6'4" and Justin Bergman is 5'9" I believe, my friend Rod was clocked at SBE at 28mph break speed, my fastest was almost 14 mph, the point is you have to tailor your gear to what works for YOU...

If you like hard tips look into the Bulletproof Recoil tip, they are not leather but are BCA legal, animal hide is like wood, it's inconsistent in grain ect, one of the benefits to CF is consistency, I found that to be the same with the Bulletproof tip, you get consistency from tip to tip, I...
