It's a stun, spin shot. You don't have to hit way outside to do it if you hit harder; the case in point. View attachment 924781
PJ uses a 10mm tip so this close to the centerline may not have enough juice. IDK
I am trying to picture the OP's original post. I understand a stun/spin shot, but how close is the cue ball to the object ball referenced in the first post?
That's nothin'. I've seen 'em rack on a carom table.
A real 12x6 (they say the numbers backwards, being British) forces you to fix your fundamentals or you won't make a ball. And carom forces you to learn things about how the balls work that you only learn slowly at pool.
I am an avid golfer and pool player with 60+ years of experience in each sport. Here is my opinion: golf club fitting is somewhat important for some people. Pool cue fitting is important for no one. Some cues may feel better to a particular person and some cues may feel not good, but that player can practice with either and have very similar results.
Your kick out foot.... left for r/h players is Such an integral part of Every shot.
My peers yrs ago named me Big Foot because I'd flop Down that 14AAA and it Stuck Out.
So, the WPBA has a rule that elite members cannot play in unsanctioned -- and presumably lower level -- women's open events. That seems to me like a reasonable restriction. I guess the UP people could have gotten the women's event sanctioned, but it might have cost a lot.
The best hitting cue I ever tried, and I played with it for 90 mins., was a Meucci wood to wood radial pin joint.
I was stunned how it felt so solid and the vibration was softened that it seemed indiscernible & really amazing.
Interesting - now that I think about it, I don't recall the "top" women's players playing in the Ultimate Pool USA tournaments. Does WPBA have rules that prevent, say, Kristina or Margaret from playing other events like Ultimate Pool USA?
