Cue Tip Size And Shape Effects

[SpiderWebComm]

Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is a brain disorder likely caused by repeated head injuries.

Probably true, caused by BUTTING HEADS with an almighty Ph.D.

 

[SpiderWebComm]

Yep, that's what arguing physics with a Ph.D. mechanical engineering professor makes you, alright.

Except the physics touting Ph.D. mechanical engineering professor wants to become the highest ranking "Pool hall Dolt" on a Pool Forum, just like you. (but only a real estate salesman)

My head must be better than yours, because I don't have CTE.

 

[SpiderWebComm]

My head must be better than yours, because I don't have CTE.

If you call "Swollen Head" syndrome better, that's an absolute identifier. Lucky you.

DAM, that CTE really does affect your brain.

PS: I'm done with the childish posting for now, but thank you for helping me remember my Elementary Schoolyard days. You can have the last word.

Yet another video that goes completely against any competent player’s perception of what’s actually happening on the table.

I can’t believe you actually play pool. Why wouldn’t you frame these videos for any practical use??? So many of the things you cover are purely theoretical and hold absolutely no water when it comes to a human with a cue in hand.

Tip diameter and tip shape massively effect every single shot. To say none of it matters to keeps the whole topic in a vacuum.

When a player picks up the EXACT same cue with a tip that’s rounded at a dime instead of a quarter…it’s going to play massively different…period.

Also, many of your videos underplay “insignificant” or “inconsequential” differences in your measurements…i got news for ya…in a game of millimeters, they AREN'T insignificant or inconsequential.

The reason you lash out against this type of information is not because it may or may not have an immediately obvious application pertinent to you, but because you are still very insecure about your personal position as a subject matter expert on something you spent your life around. It takes maturity to have an open mind and revise your own understanding.

All this is is knowledge.

Feeling threatened by it simply means that you should work on your maturity and attitude. Don't worry, you can still learn.

Jesus...a thesis. Unfortunately, a Ph.D. for all of this has a different meaning. Pool hall Dolt!

The same goes for you as well. Your comments have always been ignorant. I feel sorry for you. Looking inwards you don’t like what you see.

So your intelligence is indicated by your MC performances…

If you want to argue physics with someone who obviously knows more than you, go right ahead......but the name calling will cease.

I beg to differ. The good doctor is about as much of a scientist as he is a pool player.

 

[maha]

both dave and bob are very good players and can beat almost all here, and know infinitely more than all but a few and those must be a tie.

but if you believe in the myths or something different than science than thats okay for you. and possibly you shouldn't change as you would play worse using things that you don't believe in. so for some, tip shape, size, shaft size, chalk, etc. may make a big difference in your skill as confidence in your stroke and equipment do play a part in your performance.

What is your degree? Barely a GED? You're right, math and science is a conspiracy because you know better than most of the planet.

Cuz intelly gence is dum as hell! Bless 'Merica!
