a STEAL is right bro!

A couple of thoughts.

The comment by a customer that it is good for tail shots makes sense. I have the Pat Fleming Counter Weight and it does help on rail shots or when you are bridging over a ball.

Second, I think these cues might be beneficial for very short players who of necessity have their grip hand much farther forward.

As an extreme example I know a dwarf who plays about 500 Fargo (despite knee and hip issues that mean he also has to use crutches). Because he’s so short he has to hold the cue very far forward so the balance is off. And a shorter cue also doesn’t work well because he often has to move his hand back and use a long bridge to reach certain shots. Unfortunately these cues are out of his price range.

Someone remind me of something, what exactly did the 2 pushout rules for 9 ball do to the game? Did it make it were the players had to use their brains more before taking the shot?

the only rules, which would be considered old school by today's standard, that I played with growing up in upper Manhattan was basically ball behind the kitchen if it scratches and that any ball that went down when the foul was committed had to be brought back up. I do not remember being able to pushout after a scratch.

Straight pool favors a stiffer shaft for precision while 9 ball often requires the extra boost that the flex can provide just like the pole vault.
