    They need to offer more pin types.

    All this test proves is that it doesn't matter what equipment you use, you have to get used to it. They all deflect so if you always aim straight, you will miss since 7 centimeters is about 3 inches and you can't miss by that much lol. You would also be crazy to shoot a shot that hard with English unless the ball is hanging but even then 3 inches of deflection makes you miss the whole ball. I bet with lower speeds that all the shafts are pretty much the same, including the wood shaft. People who keep changing their equipment are never going to reach these full potential.

    You still running the Cue Giveaway? I'm subbed, liked and shared! Now where's my cue?!?

      You have to then be selected from the random drawing.

    flawed test IMO

      You should provide why it's flawed, not just say it's flawed. "The earth is flat."

      @@godjhaka7376 if you actually understood how to use side then you would not have made that comment. The answer to the question would require 1 on 1 explanations when it comes to distance, weight, grip strength, no cushions or with cushions. This test is played from a set position with a mechanical device as the driver, we all know that a normal cue action would deliver the cue in a much more normal manner. There could be another 2 chapters on how to use side properly and this test would not be in there.

      @@jefo4213 I think you're missing the point of the test. While I would prefer to see the test performed at a slower speed, the idea of the test is to remove all of the factors you're listing from the result and just test the deflection imparted by the shaft and compare it to other high end brands. This is done by using a consistent stroke speed and cue ball impact point (only possible to be precise using a machine). Companies have been performing deflection tests this way for many years.

      Yeah, I call bs, the speed they tell you, is not the speed showing on the device. I don't hit balls that hard when shooting, and if I got that much deflection, I would be missing the shot every time, might even miss the ball altogether. I see they didn't compare it to a rogue, or a Jacoby black. I don't care for predator anyway.

      @@jklimtsc There are several critical issues with this test, so it cannot be accepted as exact and close to reality.
      1. Enormous stroke speed
      2. Inconsistent cue tips
      3. Inconsistent cue tip diameter
      4. Zero elevation cue
      To make a test more realistic, it is require to provide the same parameters for each tested object, otherwise it is just multiplying the error.
