[Patrick Johnson]

'Metallic wood' has the strength of titanium and the density of water

Is this the "next big thing" after carbon fiber?

Just in case, I've got "it's the Indian not the arrow" in my clipboard ready to paste in threads about it.

If you don't play for a while, not only does your game get rusty, so does your cue.

I'm beginning to think Patrick has hacked my reading list.
PS; Only works on nano scale so far, so unless you want a really short shaft....

Sounds like either the name of a speed-metal band or a porno movie. "Dude, i actually got to see MetallicWood on their 2019 tour."

Back in the mid sixty's I had a hard coat anodized aluminum cue. (Blue) It played, knock your lights out.

Wish I still had it.

If you keep scrolling down, the authors acknowledge their debt to pool. At least that is the way i read it.

Pikul and his colleagues owe their success to taking a cue from the natural world.

Are you kidding me?...
I wouldn't even use one as a break cue.

Oh, crap

Now I got to buy all new equipment, and I just got the carbon fiber stuff payed off.

I like this quote, because a knowledgeable archer knows how to tune his arrows.

Is Metallic Wood going to be low deflection?

 

[Cornerman]

Sounds like a Viagra commercial...

 

[JayKidd]

Yes. 3D printed porous metal objects that superior to natural materials is coming.

 

[Cornerman]

Graphene is the future. Among all its amazing magical properties, we’ll be able to power our homes and vehicles (same thing for many pool players) with the energy stored from every draw shot.

PT 109, no I am not kidding. I don't want to play with it, I want to hang it on the wall. ( personal history) I even have put in ads on wanted. Never the right cue.

In that case, if I find one in my travels, I'll send you pics...and ship it to you.
