When I first saw the hanging cloth, I wondered if it was for wiping or cleaning the balls. I was also tempted to use the cloth to wipe my hands, but I didn't embarrass myself.

The mind is a powerful thing, and people don't like change. That's my best educated guess.

That Mike Page "vice grip pliers on the ferrule" video
JJ:
Mike Page was the one who did the demonstrative video of deflection by clamping a set of vice-grip pliers onto the ferrule of a cue:
"pool sidespin--squirt & swerve revisited"
http://youtube.com/watch?v=mXJ7bDafTms
(At about 6:00 mins into the video, you'll see Mike apply a set of vice-grip pliers to the ferrule of his cue, and attempt to stroke the cue ball down a line.)
Hope this is helpful!

for the life of me i can't seem to find this youtube video that i saw awhile back. it was really good. basically the guy hits a shot to demonstrate deflection then puts a vice grip on the end of the shaft, clamps it down then deflects the ball like 3 diamonds, illustrating shaft-end mass contributing to deflection. I think it also demonstrating clamping vice grip to joint area and having no noticeable impact. it was cool and informative video.
As an experiment for yourself, try taping some lead or something heavy to the end of your cue and notice the change in deflection regardless of whether or not its an LD shaft.
Tip contact time does not vary noticeably even based on tip hardness let alone shaft flex. For your statement to be true, you would have to be assuming that a high deflection shaft would be flexing so much that the cue ball doesn't leave the tip until significantly later than normal because of this flex.
The cue ball simply doesn't weigh enough to prompt this logic. Maybe if it were a medicine ball then this would matter.
Since the thread is calling out dr. dave, i think it would be really cool to glue a tip onto a fishing rod and measure tip contact time with the cue ball using something that would flex like a mofo. I would love to see that result. I would do it, but i don't have that super awesome camera equipment.

Clothes pins are more "gentle" (although not as dramatic):

The procedure demonstrated here:
doesn't take very long once you know how it works.
Other than that, you can calculate the natural pivot length from a squirt angle measurement (see TP B.1), but this isn't easy without a squirt testing robot (for more info, see my September '07 and February '08 articles).

The last half of that video is exactly what I needed. Thanks!!!!
I am going to order the first 2 VEPS DVD's today. I love how you explain things in a simple, easy to understand manner.
I hope you enjoy and benefit from the DVDs. I'm going to try to finish the first draft of Disc III over the next two weeks. It is a very time-consuming process ... and I spend way too much time on AZB.

Dave
Hmmm. Really??? Imagine that. lol.
I'll hazard a guess since Dave is much to nice to do anything but shrug his shoulders at that question and you deserve a good answer...
I believe it's the same reason I think I know alot about time travel, communicating with aliens and creating the next great "hollywood diet" but those thoeries seem to be all wrong too. Im come to the conclusion that I don't have any fuxing idea what the fuxer Im talking about. I'm just guessing. But the mental masterbation part is sorta fun and I guess I like the attention my thoeries draw. Just sayin'.
Hope that helps!
Welcome to AZ, Best regards.

im trying to be a man but ive drank a little to much tonight. i didnt know i was in english class here. some of us r trying to learn something on here. i wounder how many of your 2000 post's were critizing everyone. they might be dumb questions to u. but im not a senior in the class room. as most of us. not looking for attention or getting jealous over more response's then others. if u dont agree with a topic. just click to the next one. if u have to much energy then play some on your table. i think as many hours as everyone puts on this az site. and used that time on the table instead the would become threat in many tourny's
