When I think of hollowed, I think of the song with the line, "rather drink muddy water and sleep in a hollow log" ( I knida remember Fred G. Sanford, that's SANFORD. singing that song). It 'might' be titled "Muddy Water".

Here's where your logic breaks down. The amount of deflection varies significantly depending on how the CB is struck.

In order to be able to strike the exact CB impact point...and then to predict the amount of squirt that will result requires a superior amount of inate SKILL.

You cannot become a champion just by practicing as much as they do...or twice as much for that matter.

So, the reduction of variables, in and of it self (all other things being equal) will permit the vast majority of players to avoid errors.

Just start from the theoretical premise that there is a cue that would induce zero squirt so that there were no variables to adjust for.

Take two players with equal INATE skills and give one the High D cue and the other the No D cue. Which one plays better faster?

Just because players of EXCEPTIONAL inate skills can adjust for physical cue stick variables does not mean that a cue that reduces those variables is not a good idea.

And of course there are a LOT of top players that use Low D cues and none that use cheap bar cues for the obvious reason that the technology associated with superior cues makes them....well...superior.

Therefore, arguing that ONE example of superior technology (balance for example) is a good idea but another example (Low D) is not a good idea, does not stand the test of logic IMHO.

I'm not sure I buy all that the cue and the player BOTH determine the outcome to the shot....great players shoot great period....

you mention reduction of variables... so whats the reasoning behind CHANGING all of the variables? if you are dialed in why would you want to mess that up? at any skill level?

learning YOUR cue is worth far more than you will pay for any shaft.
 
Yes, and the best part is there are a few to choose from, and Id also like to thank Predator For replacing a Shaft recently, for my cuz.. He had the cue awhile, and it was in the middle of the bad batch, they broke his shaft somehow, but replaced it, we played some last night and I think his new shaft is even better than the first one, "X" Shaft won ofcourse, but I must show some gratitude for predators customer service..
