Just got my hand on an old 17 oz duff that ima gonna send in to get cut up and done up. I love a good dufferin conversion, let me see what ya got. And let me know how they play.
Thank you. I did not initially come into the conversation intending to disrespect anyone. I was simply looking for scientific or anecdotal evidence on something I don't really have any insight on.
For me it makes a difference. The further forward it is it feels like the extra weight forces me to have to steer my stroke more and further back it feels more free.
I also feel that but with my 19.5 balance it feels like I have to push the cue instead of it just gliding to where i want with more of a rear balance, but I definitely see why some people prefer it more forward, seems to keep your stroke straighter.
The balance on my Jacoby is about 19½ inches from the rear, too forward for my taste. I just ordered a 3.4 ounce carbon fiber shaft and 3 inch CF extension. I'm hoping this drops it back to about 15 inches. Fingers crossed.
I've always naturally preferred a more rear balanced cue. I never thought about it at first but started to wonder why I liked some bar cues more than others when i first started playing. After measuring a wall cue I liked I saw that about 15 inches from the rear is the balance i like. But i...
I want to try the feel of a heavier longer cue, but before I get a more expensive one made, I want to try a cheap one to see if it fits me. If you've got something let me know. Thanks.
I'm trying to design a custom cue and thought that might look sleek but i can't find anything other than sneaky Pete's with no joint collars. Any one got a nice custom or production cue that's collarless?
So if you have an extremely low deflection shaft, could your bridge be almost anywhere, with back hand english, and the cue still travel to your intended path, or do LD shafts still have a perfect pivot point to cancel swerve and squirt?
I've been looking for a new maple le deflection shaft and narrowed it down to a couple. I'm really interested in the ss360/2 but just wanted to know the pivot length to see if it matches my preferred bridge length. Any info will help, thanks in advance, -CeaseLess-
