I know what you mean. My girlfriend works for a Vietnamese family and the discourse among them can sound like a percussive machine gun rattle of soft 'a' sounds. Nonetheless, there is a big community of them in my part of Florida and they all seem like good human beings.

Let’s take the physics to an extreme.

Let’s say your cue weighs 11 pounds. Ten pounds are up at the joint, WELL forward of where you grip the cue. Imagine how that would feel.

Since your hand is well behind the weight, don’t you think you would have significant trouble delivering the cue in a straight line? The *slightest* deviation from dead straight and the weight and inertia would cause the cue to continue well off line, right?

Ok, let’s pare down the weight to a 19 oz cue. Wouldn’t the same off-line inertia also take a cue further off line if the shooter is pushing more weight forward compared to a cue with the balance point farther back?

Now, admittedly, a balance point 1-2” difference probably won’t make a hill of beans difference but is it possible a significant forward weight might?

Flame suit on.

I don't think butterfly cases should be allowed in the pool room. Too many people park them on a table for their entire match leaving very little room for maybe a drink or god forbid, something to eat.
Edit: I'll amend that, maybe allow them but require that once you unload your cues you close them and hang them on a chair. Been my experience that no one does.
