Cue Design: Unpopular opinion?

what make is the top one? can you post full image? looks grand
It was made by Tony Zinzola, back in the day we used to have raffles in the for sale category and I won it… sweet cue.
I’m a way from my computer so no access to the photos but I’ve posted them here:

Two fundamentals of pool to avoid sounding foolish for years

Watch snooker players, where pocketing balls is much more challenging. You can't have a poor stroke and be a high level snooker player. The laws of nature prove that a superior (straight) stroke, all else equal, makes a superior player.
I don't play snooker nor do I find it very entertaining. As its not a game that there are very many tables for in our area, its highly unlikely that will happen. If a straight stroke were absolutely necessary why don't we see high level snooker players successfully winning pool tournaments?

Energy transfer from cuetip to whiteball

This is one of those times that both things can be true. Zerkies is right in that thinking of hitting the CB hard can actually be counterproductive (for the reasons Bob J says) so it’s better to think of it as hitting the CB fast. But PJ and others are also right that in fact you are hitting the CB harder when you’re hitting it faster.

It’s like when people talk about the follow through. Yes, the CB doesn’t “know” you’ve followed through nor does it care about what you do after you it has left the cue tip. But if you don’t follow through then it is extremely difficult to hit the CB at the point of maximum acceleration.
But the tip and cue ball do not differentiate between hard and fast. Fast is hard and slow is soft. The cue ball only knows tip speed and tip placement.
