I saw a break cue a few days back that had shot or some type of moving weight in it. Is this legal? I presume the idea is like a dead blow hammer. Three of us tried it while clocking break speeds but actually were slower with this over other cues. It may have been that we were not in sync with the movement of the weight. I would like to get other peoples feed back on this type of cue.
My second question is about a shaft that I saw at Derby this year. The shaft was heavy and had a weighted ball or something in the shaft that would roll. Can someone explain the reason for this moving ball? And again is it legal to use? I've done some searching but in regards to pool cues I just find max weight and max tip size restrictions. BTW I the shaft was collector item due to the unique nature and not being used in a match.
Looking forward to input from the Cue masters.
