you mean my Revo isn't designed to be slammed hard on the table and not break?? WTF ?? Now I'm pissed..........:angry:
Regardless of setbacks, it is clear to me that synthetic shafts are here to stay. They will be better and more affordable. We are in the early stages of development.
Synthetics will eventually provide us a more consistent shaft. It's just a matter of time. The development limit is the return on investment, but the potential is there. If I were investing in cue technology, this is the direction I would go.
I'll asd too, that aside from my theory of the foam increasing the rigidity of the CF tube, which would contribute to the catastrophic failure, the shaft broke at the transition from the "parallel" section to the conical section, which acts as a stress riser at that transition. I see this a lot with endmills that have a larger shank than cutting area - the shank tapers toward the flutes, and when the tool breaks, it is amost always at that transition fro flutes to shank taper
Just got notified that my P3 REVO CN has arrived and is ready for pick up...will post pics later.
Well it apparently was in transit to be delivered even though I had instructed not to attempt delivery..
They told me to come back on Monday...BUT I happened to catch the truck just as it was leaving my place.
You do know the Joss Northeast 9 ball tour has been running for a couple of decade's don't you? Joss gives each pool room a cue for every single tournament. I don't know what you call it. But that's pretty strong.
Mr. Webb, I do indeed sir and didn't mean to diminish any of Joss's effort's to support pool.
My point was that Predator does a lot. Namely the Predator Tour, APT by Predator Tour, Poison by Predator Tour, the number of pro's sponsored, and the fact that they sponsor the US Open 9-Ball, 8-Ball, and 10-Ball, WPBA,World Pool Series, all Matchroom events plus I'm sure a number of others I'm not familiar with.
This was in response to some of the haters on here bashing a company who actually puts there money where there mouth is when it comes to promoting pool.
Mike Webb = hack
Predator = hack
Fuji-whopper = has been/future hack
Am going to start trying to complete those drills that Darren Appleton keeps posting about on Facebook, if I do get lucky enough to complete one I will definitely get it on tape because noooooobody will believe me ha ha.
Mr. Webb how are you these days? Are you still smoke free for the most part? Always glad to see you're still contributing here and riling things up, like Guy Kawasaki says "don't let the bozos get you down, inoculate yourself from the dangerous bozos".

I would think that the breakage of this particular shaft type is unusual for sure.

Saying that if you don't like the $1300 cue rip off is because they can't afford it, is spoken like the snobs you are. Johnnyt
While there is a stress riser in the change from parallel to tapered, it would be extremely small, probably to the point of being inconsequential.
The reason your endmills break where they do is partly about a stress riser (though that plays more of a factor with the fatigue). The main reason endmills break where they do is because of the concentrated bending moment and shear stress at that point. Basically, that point is resolving all of the forces put on the end of the mill and it is the furthest point away from the tip where the cross-section of material is at it's minimum.
We are adults here. Not everyone is going to have the same opinion. I enjoy a good debate and just because we don't agree. Doesn't mean that I nor anyone else on here is ignorant. I love this forum and the way we share information. I hope there is never a day that everyone on AZ agrees with one another.
They're only dangerous is you drop yourself to their level of ignorance on a regular basis.
