Rusty in Montana
I quit chewing Copenhagen on Dec 2 nd in 2017 , which I was in the middle of chemo and radiation treatments for throat cancer !

My cancer wasn't from my chewing up to 2 cans a day as it was P -16 HPV or Human Papaloma Virus .
The radiation treatments was damn tough on my thyroid which in turn was hard on my teeth , many of which snapped off at the gum line , my smile was similar to a jack o lanterns , I was afraid to eat food as my teeth sometimes just broke for no real reason .when I figure out how to post a picture of my smile back then I'll do so . ha ha

Thanks for addressing multiple questions. Although each question was posed as open ended, I secretly wanted people to note aspects like slip stroke, as you have, the difference between wrap location and balance point, or the correlation between grip location and conventional vs low deflection shafts.

I think the wrap is slightly higher up due to it being a cue manufactured in Asia, but I cannot say for definite if this is a trend. My hand sits generally on the ring beneath the wrap. The wrap itself, is more of a marker than a grip. As for balance, I am not sure exactly, but due to the low weight of the KW shaft, and added mini-extension, it is back weighted to some extent.
Break cue has had all weight removed, and I would say is more forward weighted.

The responses have NOT been similar to player opinions at the local pool hall.

Some good material to ponder then :)

the rule is subjective (it shouldnt be) and says break should be "forceful". if you ask the players they all know when someone is soft breaking. one way to see is that his cue ball almost never reaches the other side rail. also the two object balls in second last row of the diamond have very little movement. ref should have warned him in FSR match, and in the final too he broke soft.

He’s like 99 lbs. dripping wet, that’s a forceful break for him.

Who builds the Becue, full pool cues, and are they popular?

Spent a lot of time yesterday just working on different shots and racked up six 9 ball racks, after a little work on the tip. Ball in hand after the break. Really am enjoying the cue. Not saying it wouldn't have been possible with three or four other cues, lol, but they weren't at the table ----- one seven balls and then out, and one six balls and then . . . missed the world's easiest shot on the 9 (I'm ready for the Mosconi Cup :D). For me, that's really good and no doubt I'm biased by using it a lot, and getting used to it, but it's a darn good cue. I got the weight kit and what the heck, I'm going to do a little experimenting with it here in a little bit - might as well understand how it works and whether I like a different feel.

What shaft did you get? By the way, the weight kit is super easy to use
