I'm happy that you're happy with the KW shafts you currently have, but I'm pretty certain that not one of them said it *couldnt* be done, just that it's not easy to find a blank heavy enough to start with. Fat taper and heavy ferrule can help 🙂. I also prefer my shafts around 4oz, helps to keep...

Nearly all that Dr Dave posts, and many of your posts as well, interest me because you're looking at the game we all love from a different perspective and in a tangible manner. The issue that I have comes from all the bickering about it and low skill level players talking about how to make a...

The people who concern themselves with, and argue about all of these specific concepts simply do not play enough pool. Great video as always!

If cuemakers with with a proven track record are the best source, then why did you completely disregard them about your 4oz KW shaft? 😉 [Can of worms has been opened] The hardness list that I posted was generated by cuemakers and a person with a hardness tester.

Here's some testing that was done many years ago, I believe ivory came in around 87 (not in that list). Construction method certainly plays a role in feel, so it's very likely that to you it felt softer, but in general the material is on the harder side...

LBM is known for its harder hit, not softer. Ageis II is marginally harder than phenolic. To the OP, I believe the closest new product would be juma, which is very strong but won't shrink or swell. Otherwise, schmelke sells tweeten fiber ferrules in black. I've only come across them in white...

Wasn't Earl with Moochi at this time using the DOT shaft?

I am the complete opposite, sound and feel are paramount to me. Of course I want the cue to go where I aim, but I will learn these nuances over time, as one does anytime they change equipment. A certain putter manufacturer always says that sound=feel=confidence, and personally I agree.

I've had both and the Mezz deflects slightly less, but the cynergy feels so much better. Mezz feels like a steel pole, similar to revo.

You would want Shelby Williams to finish the cue then, he has the deepest, shiniest finish I've seen recently. The finish has incredible depth, not sure what his process is, but he certainly has it nailed down.

Oh yeah, I'm going way up!

That looks extremely similar to mine, what woods are your sugartree?

My most often used cue is a butt that I made with a cynergy shaft, but my favorite is my Sugartree because the hit is so lively. It's not LD, so it would be a big adjustment to switch to it permanently, but I do take it out of the case frequently to play a few racks.

That was quite uninformative and doesn't show any relevant information toward this specific event. The more data that you include, in this case going back 2 years and 82k games, it's absolutely going to average out to a lower number. The point that previous posts had made, is that for this...

Sadly this is unlikely to happen because it may make the rating system look bad, but it would certainly be nice to see!

Fixed that for you 😉 He played great for sure, just have such a difficult time watching him!

Pretty sure this is a 6' table. I've played on a few exactly like this!
