You received some excellent examples of trying to explain the importance of and then how to ensure your grip hand should remain light in order to mamimize your action on the ball.....so. I won't add to them
But my expierence was that it was difficult to Not to tighten up a.bit during the stroke.
Because using.a very light grip my hand alwys felt like it would slip during impact against the linen wrap. So once I went to a wrapless cue and it has been much easier to maintain the proper pressure. The finish of the wood gives me that extra bit of traction I need. This may be more psychological than anything, but, for me it works. I.will never have a cue made with an Irish linen wrap again
The Arnot Q custom I ordered will have a beautifully figured piece of birds eye maple in the wrap area
. The other benefit is that a well made wrapleas cue looks great
In my opinion.
