Saw the video again of Florian Kohler's and wondered why masse cues are not used in normal play? Are there rules against using them?
Admittedly, I've never used a masse cue and know nothing about the level of difficulty in using one. By the same token I didn't know how to use a jump cue until I tried one out either and it was pretty easy.
But either way, I do recognize that using my regular playing cue for a small masse of the cue ball is tricky sometimes but a masse cue would maybe make that easier.
It's just a thought and probably some rules against using them I'm guessing since they aren't used regularly but wonder what makes them different than using a jump stick; another specialty cue.
