This EW 06-0004 is owned by a lady Pro who is the tallest lady Pro player. Debbie Schjodt Deborah is in photos 2, 12, 16, and 21.

本桿由一位職業女球手所擁有。她是所有職業女球手中身材最高的。 Debbie Schjodt 小姐出現在所連接網頁的第2﹐12﹐16和21幅照片中。

This lady Pro has the fastest break for a woman in the history of pool. She set the world record in the spring of 2007 in Las Vegas.

在女子撞球歷史上﹐這位女子職業球手擁有至今為止最快的沖球記錄。這項世界記錄是她在2007年春季創立於美國拉斯維加斯。

Here are her immediate impressions of the cue after one hour of practice.

以下是她試桿僅一個小時之後的感受。

Hi Ronnie,

你好羅蘭特﹐

I only have 2 words to say about my new cue---WOW-WEE!  Bert brought me the cue yesterday and I shot for about an hour with it and it was fantastic!  I'm so excited to add new shots to my game that I didn't have before with the "other cue".  The weight is perfect as is the diameter of the shaft. 

對於我的新球桿我只想說兩個字 - 厲害﹗ 昨天Bert把桿帶給了我後我用它練了一個小時﹐感覺非常好﹗ 我非常興奮﹐因為使用它我能打出一些使用別的球桿打不出的球。 它的重量與桿頭的直徑都很完美。

 

The cue itself is BEAUTIFUL!!  The orange wood is very nice.  I can't thank you enough for making the perfect cue for me.  The spin is amazing.  Certain shots that I had to power before I can now hit with an easy, fluid stroke.  The way the shot was meant to be stroked.  My draw shot is now effortless. 

這根球桿很漂亮﹗桔黃的木材非常好看。我不知道怎樣感謝你為我造了如此完美的球桿。它產生的旋轉是驚人的。對於一些球﹐以前我必須加大力來處理﹐而現在我可以使用簡單﹐流暢的桿法。這樣的桿法是正確的。我的拉低桿變得毫不費力。

 

The extra length allows me to follow through more so I get a better reaction from the cue ball.  I'm going to have to let up on some shots now that I don't have to power through them.  AMAZING :)

它的桿長能使我更好地跟進﹐這樣我能更好地控制母球。 現在對於許多要加力去打的球我可以輕松應付。太神奇了﹕-)

Here is what she had to say after 1 week:

一星期後﹐她的感受是這樣的﹕

Everything is perfect with my new cue.  I'm just adjusting a little to the extra spin I get with it.  I'm having so much fun learning new shots!

我的新球桿上的一切都很完美。我正在調整自己的桿法﹐來適應它所產生的強大的旋轉。 掌握新的桿法給我帶來了許多快樂﹗

 

After 2 weeks (and 60 hours of practice) with her new QP Cue:

在擁有了QP新球桿兩周並練習了60個小時後她寫道﹕

"As far as I know I don't think anybody makes a better cue than yours.  I played again today and am still amazed at all the spin and control I have with it.

據我所知﹐沒有人制造的球桿能超越你。今天我又用它練了球﹐ 至今我還對它所產生的旋轉與控制母球的性能感到驚奇。

 

 
I have to say that your cue has less deflection than .........(I took the name of this leading shaft company out of her letter.) I feel I can put way more spin on the cue ball, if I need to, and get better results.  Why didn't I have one of your cues 10 years ago?  My mistake."

我承認你的球桿產生的母球偏向比﹖﹖﹖要少。(羅蘭特注﹕我把她信中提到的那家前節公司的名字隱去了) 我覺得只要我想要﹐我可以對母球加多的多的塞﹐並取得更好的效果。 為甚麼十年以前我沒有使用你的球桿﹖這真是我的失誤。

There you have it from a lady that makes her living in a pool room.

以上評語出自於一位靠打球為生的職業女球手。

Sure are lots of pros wishing they could shoot easy and get loads of spin, because that means more pocketed balls.

當然﹐很多職業球手希望他們能使用柔和的桿法並取得很好的加塞效果﹐ 因為這樣能減少失誤。

Bob Meucci is right. He and I agree that not just the shaft makes a cue low-deflection, but the way the cue-butt is built plays a part in the deflection and the spin put to the ball.

Bob Meucci先生是正確的。他與我都認為減少母球前進時的偏向不僅要靠前節﹐ 後節的製作工藝也同樣重要。

Miss Schjodt beat Ga Young Kim, 2-time World Champ, two times, knocking her out a few months ago.

Schjodt小姐打得有多好﹖幾個月前﹐她曾兩次擊敗獲得兩次世界冠軍的著名球手金佳映(Ga Young Kim)。

The 2008 price with one super-low Prodigy shaft Old-growth (formerly submerged under water for more than 120 years, hard-rock maple) is $1,400.00 With two of these shafts, when ordered together, the price is $1,575.00

在2008年﹐本桿配備一根超級低母球偏向級別的奇跡老楓木前節售價為1400美元。如配備兩根這種前節售價則為1575美元。 (奇跡老楓木前節木材取自於過去沉睡於湖底長達120多年的堅硬楓木)

Miss Schjodt has tested and shot with a friend's super-low Prodigy old growth maple shafts and wants to make the change to them. The next cue will have 3/16 ferruled old growth maple shafts.

Schjodt小姐試打過朋友的超級低母球偏向級奇跡老楓木前節﹐覺得比自己現在使用的前節更好。 她訂做的下一根球桿將配備具有0.188英寸先角的老楓木前節。

What Debbie has now and has shown improvement on is old maple, but not old growth, and very-low deflection. This very-low deflection is one step lower in deflection than the best Predator shaft. What she will have by May 2007 will be super-low deflection and what I feel is the ultimate that the low-deflection technology can attain to. With these shafts this technology cannot go any further. A super-low deflection shaft is 3 steps lower in deflection than the best Predator shaft.

她現在使用的前節屬於非常低母球偏向級別的優質楓木前節。 這種前節的防止母球偏向性能比Predator前節高一個檔次。 到2007年5月她會擁有超級低母球偏向級別的前節。 這種級別﹐我個人認為是防止母球偏向技術的最高境界﹐沒有比這性能更好的前節了。 這種級別的前節防止母球偏向性能比Predator前節要高三個檔次。

The facts on Old Growth maple are proven down at the Pro level where the tips meet the cue ball by men and women who make their living shooting pool. I think I would trust what they had to say, wouldn't you? Chinese Pro, Mr. Goh, Tuan Kiat

關於老楓木前節在打擊母球時的優異性能﹐已經被許多靠打球為生的男女職業球手們所證明。 我認為他們的觀點值得相信﹐你說呢﹖請參閱華人職業球手Chinese Pro, 高传杰先生的評語。

Out of ever 100 shafts of the old growth a man can get about 45 or so that are fine and can be used. There are only 3 of we cuemakers that seem to have discovered this wood. We now have all there is for the next year or more.

平均每100根老楓木原料中有45根能被製作成優異的前節。 連我在內﹐目前只有三位制桿家具有這種老楓木。在明年或更晚之前﹐它已不能被進貨。 我們現有的庫存是僅存的製作這種前節的原料。
