Well, How tips are $20 to $25, plus installation. But yes, otherwise I agree 100 percent.

The difference in price for the tip is probably $10, maybe a little more. Install is no different, unless of course the cheap POS only lasts a short time, then it climbs quickly over the same period...

Regardless though, absolute silliness.

Is it a stroke if you whiff the cue ball?

OK, I am looking for actual rules (If you have an opinion just state it as such).

A player is lining up a jump shot, masse, or is "tree topped" over an interfering ball. He clearly attempts his stroke and completely misses the cue ball. No ball is contacted at all. The player admits they attempted to hit the cue ball.

I believe this should count as a stroke and a foul (no ball was pocketed or driven to a rail).

Another perspective could be that no stroke was made because the cue ball was not contacted and the player can try again.

I would guess different governing bodies could have different rules and definitions.

Anyone know an actual rule (rule #) on this?

EDIT TO ADD:

ChatGPT tells us this:

Under the current WPA/BCA rules, no. If the player swings at the cue ball but completely misses it, no shot (stroke) has been made for rules purposes.

The key rule is found in the Definitions section of the WPA Rules:

Chap GPT gets partial credit. Wrong rule number.

But yes, I agree the conclusion that, unlike golf, a swing and a miss is not a shot or a foul.
