My New Earl Strickland/ Mike Gulyassy Ob-1 Shaft

[Varney Cues]

No warning, no second chance on this one.

Tap tap tap.

ob-1 construction

this picture should help clear up any confusion in the size of the layers.
each square is cut to a circle and then cut on 45 degree offsets to put
six rods together. It is very clear that in this technique it's impossible
to have all of the plies be the same at the edge.
hope this makes sense.
if not, the picture surely explains it all.

Am curious as to what exactly is the radical taper Earl is using on his Ob1? Is it like his previous shafts which IIRC is a 20 inch straight taper with 12.75mm diameter?

Now all you need is gloves on both hands, an elbow pad, pilots glasses, a weight on your cueing arm, and you're good to go!

He's going to use a goalie mask from now on too...

I'm just a competitive amateur, nothing more but I like the idea that Earl is working on his game AND I MEAN ALL ASPECTS OF HIS GAME, not just his equipment, but himself personally.

I expect to see a lot of good changes in Earl and I hope to see similar changes occuring in his fellow players, tournament directors and especially the spectators.

Knowing that core changes don't occur overnight, I also hope that OUR FORUM gives him a chance to change and make improvements in his life and game.

If AZ members want to see Earl straighten himself out and return to his game of old we should give me the chance to make these changes to himself, unencumbered by forum ridicule and piling on.

It would be great for AZ members to set the stage for the rest of the world to follow.

Those on this forum who don't want to see this happen should hang their heads in shame.
