Interestingly, with spring wound clocks, as they wind down, they will slightly speed up as the slightly weaker spring exerts less force on the operating parts, which results in slightly less interval between "ticks"...
Counterintuitive, I know...
Interesting.
Which part is wrong?
That the increased cue elevation used to jump and an off-center hit can result in unintended swerve, that a chalked tip will increase the spin that causes that swerve, or both?
Thanks. I'm always looking to learn.
Fwiw, I'm a believer that most people would be better served with less chalk on a jump cue rather than more.
Because the cue is elevated, more chalk allows for more unintended swerve for any off center hit.
Of course intentional swerve or jumps otherwise played with intentional...
That's a valid question!
I grew up in Wisconsin. I used to think that the cold was tough on things like car batteries.
Until I got to Florida.
The heat is a lot worse. If you get 3 years on a battery down here it's newsworthy! 😑
Higher deflection but a more solid hit/feel.
Of course hit/feel is completely subjective and I've always preferred wood over not wood, so ymmv...
If you use the search function, I'm sure you'll find several threads that might give you more insight.
