I play anybody without weight, but I hardly ever play for cash and only play what I can afford to lose. My last money match was playing Scott Frost one hole.

This was the last thread that is available. It's almost 23 years old now.

Just thought I would bump so everyone would realize how long it's been. And how far we have come here on AZB.

But, are you making balls on the break in CST?

The cues are held vertically and the cues are usually shorter, so balance isn't much of an issue.

I have heavy cues with much smaller tips than masses cues.

If low deflection is better for a masse, why don't they use butt heavy cues with thinner shafts and smaller tips?

I think it is because they want the weight, the stiffness of the shaft and the diameter of the tip.

They don't want low deflection.

Right. Deflection isn't a factor.

That is what I think, too.

I wanted the doctor to explain it.

There are a lot of people on here who think otherwise.

The interaction of the mass of the cue and the mass of the cueball are what cause the shaft and tip to flex, the whipping action is what happens upon the release. The difference is as the release of the tension between the masses is occuring and the whipping action begins, the friction is still occurring between the tip and the cb. The level of friction and the amount of whipping action will have a slight impact on the amount of squirt.

Watch and listen to the video again and again.

His grow some balls comment is aimed towards people playing in handicapped tournaments. Those that don't play against better players in an effort to get better etc.

He also said quit playing on the bar boxes altogether for periods at a time.

That is if you want to be a "professional level" player.

It’s almost like shipping charges are dependent on where you live…

I have never had a Sneaky with a split or crack at the joint, but I have seen other people with cues like that.

Maybe they abuse their cues.

I think it's from them whacking it on tables / dropping the cue and it hitting the joint area. Or tightening the shaft on too much.

I've made / owned wood on wood sneaky's for a while, and never once felt like they were ask risk of cracking.

I've seen people crack phenolic joints, of course wood will crack too, but if the cue is for me, I know I won't crack it.
