big new Cuetec product coming soon? anybody have the scoop?

what he means is that with cf you could make a 9mm ultra-long taper shaft that was stiff as fk. Can't do that with wood. Way more variables(size,taper,flex,etc) are doable with cf as opposed to wood.

yea i was talking about the butt. i see the point in cf shafts, although i'm not won over to the dark side. but what's the point in a cf butt for the player?

Sales is about all i can see. They will be much cheaper to produce plus there's no wood to ship/cure/age. One plus for wood butts is sizing, a lot easier to make wood butts in various diameters. won't be as many size options with cf.

Curious how they will also adjust weight and balance. CF has always been known for its lightweight to strength ratio. Not sure that's a good thing for a pool cue butt. I'm particular with the balance and am curious to see how they feel in the hand.

Different densities/weights of filler material and its placement. I'd think adjusting the weight/BP would be easier than with wood.
 
Basic engineering:

-Hollow shafts are stronger than solid.
-Hollow shafts less stiff
-material is not spread through out
-natural frequency (vibration) is less than of solid shaft

I am not sure in regards to material. Carbon fiber will still apply to some of these principles.
 
Wow, what a basic misunderstanding of engineering! I am not an engineer, and yet, I can easily recognize how stupid this is.

Engineering for dummies most likely. I keep the dude on ignore but i can tell from replies he's dropped another boner. BTW, a hollow tube can be incredibly stiff depending on the material. He makes a blanket statement that makes next to zero sense.

Piggybacking on others I see.

No original thought.

You know you know.

The constant reminder that I’m on ignore. Go out and get some fresh air. Stop passing yourself off as some resident genius.
