I'm born in the mid-90s, and I mostly just refuse to pay $500 for $5 of material and a bunch of nonsense tech jargon. Not tried a carbon shaft that ever felt 'good' to me, and I am lucky enough to live somewhere where people love to throw money at things, and try many things. I do enjoy...

Interesting. I know little about KW other than it is a heating process removing water and reacting with sugars in the wood. I too am interested in how they avoid rattling or problems with this adjustable bolt, though I'll likely never bother to find out, as I am happy playing with it at the...

I recommend anyone reading 'research on cue ball deflection' to go and hit a few balls 😂 Not a single pro I've met has ever said more about their cue than they get paid to use it. Especially pros I've met playing with carbon.

Usually KW shafts come with weight bolts which are adjusted to your preference. The Hayakawa I have came with 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 as an add on to its received weight 3.68 - I use with the 3.68 as it is and cannot fault it so far. It was given to me for free, and I am giving it an extended run...

From a cost perspective, there is real value to be found that is worth the money in wood. From the construction efforts to the material itself. There is simply money to be made from carbon. All these carbon tubes cost next to nothing to produce, and get sold to suckers with different stickers on...

They are, then they're sent away for finishing, and the all important "made in (insert place name)" sticker.

They already are. You're right.

Because they aren't so gullible 🤐

Played in a tourney at the pool hall across town last night, lost 5-4 in the first match. Played average and had a headache. Worked 12+ hours and took an hour and a half to get there in the taxi. Next game, I think to myself that I made the effort to get there, don’t lie down, and was matched...

Yeah, but is it what he said aloud? If everyone needs to be aware of the call, shouldn’t it be vocalized clearly? Regardless of the ‘obvious’ play. I need to watch it again now, but if there’s a level of doubt that can cause that eruption, you’d think to be clearer. I remember finding it funny...

I just got given a Hayakawa KW shaft, around 0.5 lighter than my previous playing shaft. Feels well balanced, and I am liking it so far after a few days play. Let a few players much higher level than myself have a hit with it, and the general consensus was that it's balanced well on my butt, and...

If you like how it feels for you, and you've tested it. Then there is no pro or con. If you're feeling good, then it's good.

I think all of the above are suitable for the thread, I'd like to see them here anyway. I think OP means that they've lost the ability expected of a top player - the 'yips'

Justifiable tbh I like the one where Earl waves his cue at JJ. Bet he shat a little when JJ beckoned him outside 😂

Yes, needs to be something done before there’s some teeth knocked out 😂

Zhu Xi He lost. Didn’t complain to officials if I can make sense of the group chat. But some group chats I’m in are popping off.

Not sure. Friend sent to me just before I fell asleep. I’ll check.

Unaware it’s streamed? Or he simply dgaf? 😂

Presumably. I just tune in while I’m bored at work, and shit talk with friends. Let me ask around. Maybe I can find some links to share.

That’s great that the game has been in your life that long, a testament to the game and your love of it. I have taken some great tidbits from you on this forum in the past. We don’t always agree on stuff, but I wouldn’t ever mean to belittle anyone, or come across in that way. I think I’m quite...
