Hello again gents....... I need some help. Yesterday my phone took a massive nose dive and I had to do a factory reset. I lost EVERY phone contact and text conversation I was having with folks about my hybrid carbon fiber and wood shafts. If you and I were chatting, conversing, bs-ing...

Opened a YouTube channel for those who are interested... We're GOING public. https://youtube.com/@phantomhybridshafts?si=k8iQRBxvyrj6J5vV

You may find this interesting. These were all one and done shots. I absolutely did not play the shot multiple times then pick the best one. No practice. No warm up. Get down and cut the ball in on the first attempt. Two of these videos are from a security camera the bar owner gave me access to...

Hello again everyone. So my amazing girlfriend was able to upload all the videos taken off me and a few other people sitting that long thin cut shot by aiming the shaft like a rifle. Aiming exactly like Dr. Dave by maintaining cuing the shaft perpendicularly to the short rail and aiming...

Thank you very much for that advice. I've never used Dropbox or similar service before but I'll look into it when I get home this evening. That's a terrific idea.

I state in my pdf. that I am not an engineer nor physicist nor a mathmatician. I am nothing more than an insanely curious person about the game. My reason is because when I strike the cue ball at whatever speed I want it to go precisely where I aim it without doing the mental gymnastics of...

If you wish to send me a message I'll respond with my phone number and happily discuss my process with you.........within reason, of course. I welcome anyone's opinions with what I'm trying to do. Please read my response further on in the forum.

By the way.......I just watched Dr. Dave's video. It's interesting that we recorded EVERY time I shoot this. I would freeze an object ball to the head rail. Set the cue ball 2-1/4 inches to the left of the foot spot. Effectively identical to what Dr. Dave does. I would then aim my shaft straight...

I genuinely have no idea what other shafts deflection is nor do I really need to know. Nor will I spend the time or money to test every version of what's out there. What I have faithfully suggested is that if you believe the science then my ferrule material SHOULD deflect less. I will concede...

The product IS here. Shot me a message and I'll send you my phone number. Would love to chat again.

Cool to see other takes on an idea I and a few others have had for several years. Very cool. My project has been about 4 or 5 years in the development and I've been through probably a dozen different iterations until now. I finally have a product I'll stake my soul on which is rather cool I...

It's not a Predator high end 800 dollar break cue but then it never purports to be one. For an affordable break cue it does it's job pretty well I think. That being said, I've always broken the balls like a tiny little weak child. This weekend actually I'm going to be making a phenolic tip for...

Hello all........ Can anyone accurately depict the layout of the balls prior to Irving Crane pocketing the two at 11:21 For the life of me I can't figure out the chain reaction that resulted in him making that shot. The YT video I have access to is entirely too dark to make heads or tails out...

Reviving an old thread. Can anyone accurately depict the layout of the balls just prior to Irving Crane's shot at 11:21? The video is so doggone dark I can't for the life of me figure out the layout or the chain reaction that resulted in pocketing the two ball. This is the video:

Undersized from what? 3/8? What do I search for when looking for a brass insert for the thing? I have brass stock so I'll most likely make my own for the fun of it. Haven't done any internal threading in 30 years.

So get this....... The gent who owns the cue absolutely loves it. Nicest people in the world too. His wife got it for him as an anniversary present. Turns out it's not such a quality cue made by a Chinese company named Tai Ba. Amazon type cue sadly. The thread pitch matches 12TPI perfectly but...

I was simply wondering if anyone had ever seen a 9mm joint pin. And if so, where might I find an insert for it. I'm my 40 years of being around pool cues almost of every shape and size I can't recall ever seeing a metric pin. I'll make an insert if I have no other choice but would prefer to...

Hello all.... A buddy of mine has a no-name cue, at least I can't make out the name. Anyhow, the pin "looks" like a 5/16-14 pin which is what I assumed it was. WRONG! This thing mics to roughly .342 which makes no sense. The shaft has a brass insert with a nipple. I'm guessing this thing is...

Hello all, This is my girlfriends Mezz EC-7 that she's been using for the past few years. The butt of the cue has a linen wrap and has the requisite dings in it for a used cue. The butt has no weight bolt in it and weighs 14.3 oz. Mezz United pin. The original shaft is 4 ounces. The carbon...

I'm my humble opinion, focus and trying to unnecessarily create something that's just not there.
