I think you are the first person I've ever heard suggest that a stainless joint made for a "crisper" hit. I've always likened it to filling the handlebars of a '72 Sportster with lead shot. Adding mass to change frequency and lower amplitude.

Looks like the 8 ball has 52 teams. Groups A through M had 4 teams each. https://league.ultimatepoolusa.com/leagues/UPLGRANDFINALS/competitions/18902 For whatever this is worth they had 720 players there. Not sure how that breaks down into different teams and events...

I played a summer session of UPL and really enjoyed it. I would keep playing it, but there is no local league and driving 110 miles one way in a MN winter didn't look appealing, so I opted not to play the fall/winter sessions. I will likely play again next summer if I can. At the amateur...

My understanding is most of the changes have been to what's on the inside. The V4 uses two different density foams separated by a poly/rubber like plug. I can't remember his name now, but the guy who gave me a tour of Jacoby's shop was pretty open about how their stuff is constructed. If you...

Not defending or accusing, just curious, how well do you know the other guy? Perhaps he has some history of questionable outcomes with the folks at Salotto and that's why they questioned your match outcome?

the name on the "prescription bottle" is pretty humorous.

I remember back when Bergman first started using Kielwwod and he told me the blank came from Prather, I went on Jeff's site and saw them, but I've never really considered getting one. Not sure I want any more options....lol I see he still has some for sale...

As someone who can also let almost immeasurable things get in their head, my recommendation if this is bothering you, is to go somewhere where they sell cues/shafts. Try a few shafts and find one you really like. Buy it and take it home. Then under NO circumstance should you ever allow that...

Admittedly I mostly skimmed this thread so sorry if I get off base, but I'll just make a few comments. 1. You really can't handicap pool. Maybe in a long race you can get close, but it's silly to think you can handicap something that doesn't have equal opportunities for all players. Imagine...

I had a first Gen Hsunami and an early Trans-K and they played fine, but I didn't care for the hit/feel. I don't think I've really been able to tell much difference in any of the solid KW shafts I've had. I suppose if you can tell the difference in ferule material on Maple, the same would apply...

I've recently been hearing there is a growing movement to no longer allow "eyewitness" testimony in court because it is so unreliable. They've been doing some studies where actors stage an incident and then they question people about what happened and in multiple cases two people who were...

I'm pretty sure most are at least partially coring the front end to reduce mass, but I would think almost any of them would skip that part if you asked. Off the top of my head, I know Ryan at RAT Cue Repair doesn't core them unless you request it. I'm pretty sure Schmelke is all solid, but a...

Are you referring to something like the PureX Infuzed? https://seyberts.com/collections/shafts/products/pure-x-fuze-kielwood-carbon-fiber-infuzed-solid-shaft-radial-thread?variant=43806027382982

When this first happened I too thought Ward was 100% at fault. Watching the documentary and seeing/hearing Tony’s statement to police, his video testimony, the other drivers’ testimony and the accident reconstruction changed my mind.

If you haven’t watched “the hit” you really haven’t seen the whole story. I certainly don’t get the impression the Ward family is short on $$$. You may be right, if it hadn’t been a famous driver we would have never heard of it, but at the same time, if it hadn’t been a wealthy, famous...

Kenny is the best! Met him a couple of times in the pits at some dirt track races. I know he recently ran a race in Alaska. I think that only leave Hawaii for states he has not raced in, but I could be wrong about that.

I think if you watch the documentary, you might change your mind about some of those opinions. There were multiple camera views that were not available back when it happened from track cameras as well as GoPro's on other cars etc. Probably the most damning thing was Tony's statement to the...

I'm not going to get into a lengthy debate about this, but I am curious if either of you watched "The Hit"? If you haven't, I would recommend you do with an open mind. There were four things that for me stood out and formed my opinion of the incident. 1. The testimony of the female driver...

On a slightly different tangent, remember when there was that time foul controversy with Shane and Yapp? I'm wondering what would have happened had Shane shot anyway during the few seconds it took for John to get his attention. Would that be escalated to some sort of "sportsmanship" type foul...

On purpose has nothing to do with it. Accidently killing someone will still land you in jail in most situations....unless of course you are wealthy enough to buy your way out of it. Sad part is he's still a hot head with no self-control. A few years ago, he was running a sprint at my local...
