Sure you were watching apa? Didn't think they allow jump cues.I also saw a pass up an easy one rail kick to try to jump over a ball 4 diamonds away. Spent money for that jump cue might as well use it. Probably got the carbon shaft and the jump cue on a special deal.
Apparently not. APA was listed as a sponsor. I'll say one thing - they were having more fun than most pro tournaments I watch.Sure you were watching apa? Didn't think they allow jump cues.
Masters apa allows jump cues iircApparently not. APA was listed as a sponsor. I'll say one thing - they were having more fun than most pro tournaments I watch.
Was this the US Amateur?Apparently not. APA was listed as a sponsor. I'll say one thing - they were having more fun than most pro tournaments I watch.
I think masters does, but he said he saw the low ranked players using cf so I knew it wasn't masters he was watching.Masters apa allows jump cues iirc
You watched a stream and knew what they were thinking when they made a purchase?It's interesting how many low level players are using the expensive carbon shaft as if it's a magic elixir.
You think they bought the carbon stuff because it's pretty? Why else would they buy it?You watched a stream and knew what they were thinking when they made a purchase?
Because it can be slicker than freshly sanded wood with just an alcohol wipe.You think they bought the carbon stuff because it's pretty? Why else would they buy it?
So would you still say it isn't the arrow?It's interesting how many low level players are using the expensive carbon shaft as if it's a magic elixir. I'm not criticizing them because they simply don't have the time to play more than once a week and they were clearly having a lot of fun but I was surprised at how popular the carbon shaft was.
Laminated tips, premium chalk or LD shafts weren't around when Willie Mosconi, Ralph Greenleaf, Earl Stickland and Efren Reyes started playing, and they seem to have gotten by.I was being facetious.
I keep it simple.
Master chalk, hard pressed Triangle tips, and rock hard maple shafts (not LD).
I still think it is the Indian not he arrow.
What is the going price these days?Not even close to that price for a Searing shaft
I know I didn't pay that much a few years back, I have seen some ridiculous prices on the aftermarket.What is the going price these days?
Pool cue secrets they don't want you to know about. The point is people who only play once a week in a league aren't going to benefit from a $400 shaft on the cue. Kind of like people who don't exercise and eat too many calories didn't benefit from Trudeau's diet secrets.Because it can be slicker than freshly sanded wood with just an alcohol wipe.
Because it can produce low deflection on the cueball as well or better than the current top LD wood shafts.
Because it will never warp.
Because it will resist scratches and dings.
Because you can buy one today and buy a replacement 5 years from now and reasonably expect them both to play exactly the same.
Maybe because they think black shafts look cool.
Think about it. What you’re suggesting can be applied to any purchase with a price point. It’s fairly transparent that you apply it to CF shafts because you don’t like them. It’s not good enough for you that you have one preference and there’s an emerging industry trend that’s different from your preference and call it good there. You invented a narrative that anyone that buys them would be doing it for the dumbest possible reason. Because that narrative makes you feel better about yourself.
Oh boy, now you did it!Pool cue secrets they don't want you to know about. The point is people who only play once a week in a league aren't going to benefit from a $400 shaft on the cue. Kind of like people who don't exercise and eat too many calories didn't benefit from Trudeau's diet secrets.
I disagreed with sending Trudeau to prison. People get rich on all kinds of stuff of dubious benefit to the people who buy it. In my city they have legalized "medical marijuana" dealerships. The national institute of health released a study detailing the many health risks of smoking marijuana but it's being sold and hyped as having a medical benefit.
