First impressions...
I put a soft tip on the cue of one of our new, low rated league players who really doesn't know anything about, or care to learn much about tip maintenance. I figured it would be perfect for him.
Gotta say I was a little surprised. I use (and love) a bulletproof break tip...
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...
