Question for Bob J. re: pivot points

[mikepage]

So Bob, if you grabbed 1000 cues out of players' hands at the BCA amateur championships (mix of production, custom cues, etc.), what do you think would be the distribution of squirt pivot points amongst categories a-k?

a. <6"
b. 6,7,8"
c. 9,10,11"
d. 12,13,14"
e. 15,16,17"
f. 18,19,20"
g. 21,22,23"
h. 24,25,26"
i. 27,28,29"
j. 30,31,32"
k. >32"

Also, what's the squirtiest stick you've seen that didn't involve metal?

I'd guess that you might see a few down around 7 inches (the squirtiest normal stick I've seen), and the peak around 9-12 inches and then a gradual tapering off to 30 or 40. It would be an interesting experiment to try, and I've thought of a more portable form of Iron Willie that could do it without the problems you get with both the robot and human methods of measuring pivot points.
