It is a matter of contact point visualization. For myself, judging the distance from center for the aiming point works better up to about 45 degrees. Beyond that, I see the "equal-opposite" picture better and use that.

For someone who prefers learning to play by feel rather than analysis, I would recommend equal-opposite.

...and that's how I lost my car.

eek.

Perhaps it has something to do with my learning how to play with wood, but there's a tactile sensation, an awareness I get from wood that resonates from the tip on contact, all the way down the cue to my other hand - that I need, that I've gotten used to. Without it, my game suffers.
Reading braille is the closest thing I can parallel it with.
Call me crazy.

That may be true for you, and probably me as well. I was always very picky about shafts and the feedback I got. That is not the case with new players, or older players for that matter who have switched to CF after a small learning curve.

If I was younger and still playing I have no doubt I would probably be playing with, or at least give an honest try to CF. I think I would hate the glove though.
The obvious truth is, CF. will be the only thing around in a few years.
