I am just curious about what people think is an effective method or type of practice to increase controllable stroke speed. I’ve tried progressive practice making longer and longer backstrokes. However, I have hit a wall where a full length backstroke only produces about 12-13mph cue ball speed...

I wanted to buy some tips for some experimentation. Are there any manufactured tips that are noticeably taller/thicker than their radius? I know it is silly but I wanted to try making very small radius tips and everything I’ve seen available wouldn’t really be thick enough.

Whenever I shoot for maximum spin (aiming inside edge of tip to 1/4 cueball) for draw, follow, or english I hit the very edge of tip or ‘shoulder.’ However, I rarely miscue with this offset. Probably because theoretical max spin (offset) occurs at .6 radius and not .5 radius of cueball. I...

Couldn’t find a specific answer here with search function. So I recently switched to using a hard tip. I am really liking how it plays (for me). However, I can’t seem to get an even layer of chalk applied to the whole tip. There are small points and arcs where the chalk is ‘thinner’...

First, why I am experimenting with these changes. A very loose grip, with a gap between web and top of cue, often leads to erratic contact point and cue jumping off of my bridge hand. Also the loose grip and firm stroke makes that jumping effect even worse. I try to use same acceleration on...
