what constitutes a Low Deflection shaft? I'm guessing you probably havent got a clue.
Since any cue lower in diameter than the old standard of 13mm would be lower deflection. Keep it at 13mm and remove the ferrule and its also again...lower deflection.
Hell ferrules were not original to cues, neither were white ferrules, the first were black.
The only reason ferrules are and were originally put on shafts were to protect it from damage due to miscuing on edge especially when thin tipped and stroked by some novice with no control of their stroke/those who think 3 tips of english is on the edge of the ball.
So originally cues were lower deflection in the beginning than they were at the advent of the ferrule.
diamonds are not a component on any pool table on earth.....there are sights on pool and billiards tables and they have always been in existence on such.
Snooker doesn't generally include them as kicking and banking are typically rare in that game for obvious reasons, banks being of much lesser occurrence. Tho there are snooker tables with sights albeit uncommon and they have also existed long before the modern game.
Take the sights off a table.....any asshat can still split a sub rail into thirds.
next is your spot on the wall......there doesn't need to be anything on a wall to do it as its just a geometric unfolding of the table a player can project with their imagination....much like one would do splitting a subrail into thirds.
Your not a purist. You dont even know the history of the game and it shows vividly.
Your addition of the magic rack is even more laughable in regards to your list....being a so called purist, that should be the first thing to go being that it makes all racks hackable everytime...all the time... its design grants expected results to every rack from novice to pro in a highly consistent fashion, which arguably quantifies such as pattern racking. The slight randomness has always been built into the rules of the game and its materials used for play. A purist would educate themselves as to what to do with such occurrences and how to use them in an advantageous way.
in regards to your interpretation of the marking of the table, you obviously do not know what deliberate means. Pick up a dictionary it will assist you.
no bridge?....that is spoken like a true barbox banger you know the ones who probably cant use one without looking like a monkey screwing a coconut the one time a year they frailly flop around gasping for air on a 9 footer.
you might want to add to your list only balls using all solid colors only since the markings on the balls including numbers and stripes could be used as aiming aids.
many of us can run balls with our eyes closed without issue and your stuck on aiming aids.
im not one for jump cues myself, tho jumping has its place in the game as it should be.....hopefully you get jumped clean off this forum for lack of respect for the history of the game and the long standing members of this board who built it.
i see your tenure here not lasting long, going the way of English and Larry, whether by mod or John Schmidt's goat.

You forgot to mention that I think there should be a match clock in pro tournaments same like in chess.
