For me, it's deflection, tip hardness, tip diameter, taper.

I'm, I think a hit is something that a player subjectively/objectively want generally in a cue. Like intended/expected result from a cue. Although lots of variables come with it, shaft, deflection, weight, hardness. Softness, lightness. I think it pertains more to accuracy and feel. I'm not sure...

No.

any science to support that?

The implosion proved it is not feasible for deep dive.

But what about the carbon infused wood shafts?

of course. but then again, how curved does a smaller diameter tip be over a bigger diameter tip.

a larger diameter tip is more forgiving. a 13mm imo.

sounds like the demand for custom cues is for people that are experiencing a midlife crisis.

That is also true.

since you left out the shaft discussion which is an integral part of the cue's performance capability, I would say to some degree that even the butt has some degree of capability to change your game. the weight and balance for example can have an impact on playability. not saying I can't play...

I would say depending on the conditions and tips. typical of hard tips from my experience is the frequency of miscues and how you have to hit it differently or technique. chalk application, compression, etc... from what I have seen can impact spin, control and draw. while there are variations or...

if some have the time of day to modify a cue tip, the best for the bang would be a milk dud. I just made some a few weeks ago when I couldn't buy some of my favorite replacement tips for my other shafts which I have lost their tips when they came off and the price are just inflated. ended up...

It's not really silly if you read my posts previously. But for the benefit of sharing, I use the other one as a longer cue with the butt extension. since I don't like using the extension bridge. To each his own. It's my cues. I'm the one thats using them. You maybe thinking about why I use the...

I use two cues, is that a crime?

Sorry, not switch shafts but switch cues. The times when I switch shafts is when my tip has popped off. Again, sorry for the confusion.

I have the opportunity to compare both the Lucasi Fuze and Fortis which I now have both. to be honest I like both. the feel for both shafts are different but for some reason I like the feel for both shafts. although the Fuze looks more appealing. the hit are pretty much head to head and can't...

The Fuze. Honestly it goes head to head against my Tiger Fortis CF shaft. Main difference is the Feel and Aesthetics. Had to change the tip though since it was producing this funny sound that some members were pointing out. Besides, I didn't like the tip. Changing the tip with an Ultraskin Pro...

have no idea what older wood shaft but if you are referring to really old growth then I get the concept of what kind of feel or hit you might be saying. just letting you know I don't have any experience hitting with one. anyway, just sharing my experience with kielwood since receiving mine...

First lesson, how to level your cue on the table when taking a shot. Typical beginner error. I see these often when people are hitting the air multiple times after wasting a lo ng time aiming. Also, it helps to start with a short stroke and work from there.
