I played this week-end for the first time with my BiXur BX-1 cue... I need to make some things known to be better understood... I usually play with a McDermott cue with I3 shaft or WX900 shaft, both have about 11.75-12 mm on tips, and the weight of the cue is about 18oz. BiXur have a 13 mm and 20oz so it was not the type of cue I usually play... first frame was nearly a break-run... I missed the last ball but the position to the black was perfect. ( I usually play 8 ball ) I am not a day-by-day player, I play one time on a month so that was a good start. I played against my friend who beat me last time with 14-9 and I win with 9-3... for the first time I played with my BiXur and it was something better in my game... not just the feel, not just the new tip that I put it ( Cyborg On SSupra Tip ) but the cue seems to be different, much easier to predict, much easier to control the ball... the only thing that keeps me away from a better score was the follow of the ball, it seems like I need a medium type of tip because my stroke doesn't move the ball like I expected when I hit upper the center... it was a slower follow than what I was used with the McDermott. The draw was nearly the same but the side spin was a problem for me too... the ball has a good rotation but hard to predict the speed. The feel of the cue was great... it was a real pleasure to play with it...
