With it installed, on a 'normal shot' that you can reach, do you use the same bridge length?
Then grip the cue a couple inches forward or where you grip without the insert/extension?
Does the hit feel stiffer, or do the shaft feedback characteristics feel/stay about the same?
Might have to try it.
OP...thanks for the post.
My grip is more forward to compensate for the 2 inch shaft length increase. The hit is about the same, but with the extra ounce of front weight it's less work to get the cueball to do what you need it to do. Everything feels the same except the cue just feels more solid in your hands or at least that's my take on it. It takes no time at all to get used to it. I have only heard the 4 inch inserts seem to be a bit much, but there have been nothing but positive reviews on the 2 inch insert.
To have that additional front weight is really cool. I can't wait for some pro feedback. I know John Schmidt and Rodney are playing lights out with it. I ran 51 balls with it hitting my first ball in 6 days. I didn't hit 1 ball and just screwed this think on and set up a break ball and ran 51. That's not a super great run or anything but I couldn't believe how good my stroke felt with the insert. They're really cheap and totally worth checking out:thumbup:
