Probably will turn out to be age related. I'm 70+, a long time car guy. Love a nice engine coupled to other good mechanical bits. But when it comes to car dashes?
Just give me a layout with easily read gauges. Tach, speedo with odo, oil pressure, temp, fuel level, volts....ideally round, black face, white indicators, like the old Stewart Warner stuff.
Was thinking of the new '19 Bullitt Mustang. Love it's mechanicals, 480 horsepower, 6 speed manual, torsen rear end, etc. But I hate the star trek dash with all it's gee whiz features and TV screen. Enough so that although I could write the check, I won't. Will be sticking with my old, slow, and obsolete by Mustang standards, '09 Bullitt.
Maybe all the new "gee whiz" cue stuff with carbon fiber, electronic gadgets, etc. sell well to the younger set.
To me, this proves that cue and equipment manufacturers are like car makers...they know their demographics, They need to.
But please...is it okay if I keep playing with my Josey titlist styled cue with it's old fashioned 4 needle sharp and even points and a nice solid maple shaft?
Select your age and opinion
Ditto this. Technology for technologies sake or just to sell s^*t are things i could do without. If it actually improves one's game or the sport as a whole then yes, i'm for it. So i guess that makes me a "maybe". I'm 58 btw.What excatly are you talking about be more specific

This I tend to agree with. As I watch old matches on youtube of Earl, Efren, and others when in their prime, I wonder how they could play so well without carbon fiber, gloves, etc. I then wonder how much is really technology and how much is marketing hype....
Since we don't have anything specific to go on, I'm assuming a bit here, but i voted "no."
Using the NFL, MLB, NHL, etc, as examples, I don't like replay. Principally, it slows the game down, disrupting the flow of the game. And usually replay isn't transparent; we never have the opportunity to know why and how the officials came to their decisions, we just get their rulings. And when they get the call wrong anyway the frustration factor goes through the roof.
And the reality is that most of the time the officials get the call right the first time. Yes, occasionally they get it wrong, but statistically they usually get it right. Personally, I'd rather live with the fact of human fallibility on occasion rather than have to deal with the added dead time and the inconsistency of replay.
