YouTuber Dupree Trickshots explains the betting scandal well. It includes video of three shots Joao likely made to miss at minutes 8:50 in the video; a list of gamblers who shouldn’t have lost money betting on Joao Andre at 10:50 (including a loser that Haas’s promoter, Sam Gilmer, won’t repay...

Some proof that the O.L. Briggs billiards company became the O.L. Briggs & Son company in 1901. That was the first year that The Boston Directory listed the O.L. Briggs company as an "& Son" company. Here are 1900 and 1901 entries for Briggs with and without & SON:

See if you can get double-hit/push shot because of a soft cue tip. What is also interesting about the Dr Dave result is that the shaft owner had no problems with the shaft. The double-hit and the differing responses using the Time Crystal tip depending on the player are new to me. Here is...

More info about the laminated Longoni S30 shaft. This ain't Michigan Maple:

There is little motivation for beginners to post videos of their average or poor play that, given early results, would result in no win. What is needed is a $100 prize for a loser in the competion besides merchandise discount. Perhaps there could be a random pick of anyone who submitted...

Spin was not measured, but in one of Dr Dave's deflection videos a softer tip caused what looked to be a helluva lot of deflection. Dr Dave figured it was not deflection but a double hit or a push. The double hit was likely due to more grab by the soft tip at slow speeds and lots of spin. At...

I believe the cheating was at the April 14th game and is this one at

Also included are five Champion cue tips like that used a hundred years ago. I bought them from this vendor on eBay:

From the Facebook pages. I am unsure whether the last image should be placed there. The texts seem to be missing something between April 17th and April 19th. EDIT: Added an April 20th text

Briggs started billiard business in 1870. Find business in top left corner amongst the Briggs entries.

Buy those two shafts. Sell them on eBay and help pool players who really would like a Defy shaft. Since the shafts would be new and the latest generation, see below for proof you probably (and eBay) would make a dollar off of it.

Looking forward for your report. Jacoby updated its website and now mentions V5's "almost zero deflection": Just when you thought the best couldn't get any better, Jacoby Custom Cues brings you the V5 BlaCk Carbon Shaft. The new V5 shaft is slightly more flexible than its predecessor, the V4...

The owner of the company that excelled in Dr Dave’s test of deflection from carbon fiber shafts, WheatState, wrote that he could achieve low deflection but that wasn’t the issue. The issue was to do that while “maintaining a great balance point, flex level, weight, sound/hit, build quality”.

Custom order a Jacoby 10.5mm Super Pro 140-piece laminated maple shaft, cored behind tip to decrease deflection. Super Pro comes in standard format as 11.75mm shaft. ___

What happened? Did the Defy vault plate pop out of the shaft? If so, and, if you don't want to go to the trouble of working with McDermott, can this be fixed by sanding off the old glue, cleaning with isopropyl alcohol, and regluing with super glue? Here's a picture of a 2026 Defy front end...

The Rules Billiards and Pool by Oliver L. Briggs. 1891.

Text copied from the Wheat State Facebook page: DOES THE WOUND VS ROLLED CARBON TYPE CHANGE DEFLECTION? -No, I have designed both carbon types to have the exact same taper, wall thickness, weight, etc. WHAT IS THE CURRENT WAIT TIME FOR A GEN 5 PRO SHAFT? -Currently we are looking at October...

Cuelees 10.5mm shaft --- CP Model LS-SCB

Maybe the wildest parts are weights that can be placed several inches inside the carbon fiber shaft made by Black Blade cues. Click for video here:

Are you talking about foam, a weight to maintain balance, a wooden plug in Meucci's Pro, and shock absorbers in the SMO shaft?
