What is a cue’s “hit”?

I love a cue that pings when I hit it. I started gravitating to medium tips, I have been playing with Tiger Everest tips for quite awhile now. I like them best when they are beyond half worn, there is a big difference between a new one and a worn one, maybe because I usually break with my player, they definitely harden up after use.
I find this interesting as I recently bought a Canadian maple shaft with an advertised Tiger Everest medium tip. The hit from that shaft was way too hard for my liking - I had a soft Ultraskin put on it and for me the shaft is now very playable.
The Everest tip was new - but it was not a mediium hit in any respect. I have settled firmly in the not so firm hit of Ultraskin sorts.

BTW, the seller of the wood racks wasn’t bothered by my post, the Mods weren’t concerned, the post was a compliment about the item’s appearance and quality but because it came from me, you have a clear recollection.

I almost get the feeling I have a Az stalker that has a crush on me but is too blind to see it. There’s been a lot of TV shows that used this as a theme for an episode and the stalker always get the short end of the stick in the end.

Start a poll……I’ll abide by it…….I can stop visiting the Forum……..if I annoy folks, I’ll just go away but I am not going to change whom I am, what I believe or what I post. Nonetheless, I will concede that presentation always matters.

Along these lines- tip hardness has very much to do with the feel of a cue hitting a cue ball - from my experience. If I change out a very hard cue tip to a soft cue tip - the difference in the “hit” of that cue is most often night and day. I cannot play with tip hardness in the hard to very hard category and I prefer medium soft as a tip hardness rating.
agreed, i should have mentioned it was the same tip. i have used nothing but pooldawg8 milk duds for years

Cue shaft playability differences

Do you sincerely think that a opinion, i.e., suggestion, posted by someone I do not know a thing about, have never met nor spoken with, would assuage or encourage me to change or abandon whom I am as a person, my thoughts, opinions, beliefs, inclinations or anything whatsoever?

I suppose it might be possible if the individual attempting to do that was a sexy woman and I actually paid close attention and was open to embracing their comments. But from a stranger with zero association, and another guy too, it’s not likely and I’ll dismiss it because it is really inconsequential. It’s like taking advice from a stranger. You have to be pretty stupid and deserve whatever fate awaits you. However, that doesn’t imply always ignoring it either. What matters is how important is it and whether the other person has credulity. On both of those points you come up short.

Like Popeye, I am what I am. I do not pretend to be what I am not. You can accept or reject me but regardless, I’m not
reluctant to be the only oak tree in a forest of only pine trees. Have you ever received a like recently on a post you composed a couple of years ago? Gosh, I get them weekly and it tells me that someone either hadn’t previously read it or cared enough to click like. Sure, others may respond with a reply while the thread or posted reply is recent but years later tells me what I wrote was favorably viewed. I suppose that might not happen much for you or maybe it does?

You write for others to read, not for yourself. So if my penchant to be redundant or excessive troubles you, just ignore
me like I have done to 1/2 dozen other Azers so I never get to see what they write. I don’t miss seeing their comments and I sure as hell couldn’t give a damn what they had to write. It’s why I stopped posting in NPR. People aren’t going to
change because of anything anyone ever could post on this website. So I choose to just avoid assholes and maybe you should emulate my approach. Maybe look at it this way….put me on ignore……..I’ll stop being a nuisance or distraction.
