zero flex shaft

And all we have to do is hit a 1/16" target (and control where the CB goes afterward). This game is too easy.

If it were easy, it wouldn't be fun.

Dave, you forgot to account for CIT. ;)
And what about cue ball skid?

It's amazing that any of us can ever actually sink a ball! :D

Actually, we sometimes don't sink the ball, especially if CIT is not accounted for, and/or if "skid" (AKA "cling" or "excessive throw") occurs. :cool:

Seriously, did you think my diagram fails to "account for CIT?" With outside English, depending on the amount of English, the CB can be thrown in either direction (the CIT or SIT direction).

Dave
 
Actually, I believe CIT is far more significant than SIT. It is possible in some instances for one to offset the other, but my experience (undocumented) has been that CIT always has to be taken into consideration on any cut shot.

With outside English (OE), the throw can be in the CIT direction (for OE less than the "gearing" amount), in the SIT direction (for OE more than the "gearing" amount), or zero (for "gearing" OE). For lots of info on this topic, see the answer to the 2nd question here:


I have links to many resources illustrating and explaining all of the different cases and when they apply. Even with an extremely thin cut, the OB can be thrown in the SIT direction with OE. I'm not saying you should do this ... just that it is possible. With small cut angle shots, it is very easy to throw the OB in the SIT direction.

wow.

you guys make my head hurt.

i got the shaft,literally. it came yesterday.
played with it for about 2 hrs.

i have no real experience with any other ld shaft so i didn't know what to expect.
i play with a lucasi 8 piece reg. def. shaft.there wasn't much difference in feel,felt solid enough to me.

i don't want to read to much into it to soon but so far im impressed.
i'm still missing shots because my aiming is off,what i was hitting was long thin cuts using top spin that i usually miss.

i played a bit with some guy today and at first i just couldn't catch him,after a few racks i was on to it.on 3 or 4 occasions he flubbed on the 7 or 8 but usually left me a long thin cut.today i was able to capitalize on his mistakes.
