Good morning,
I am a solid player - not great but I have played for 30 years, have run 3 racks of 9 balls and straight pool high is 28. I have a quick question.
As background, I own several cues, including two Samsara’s with LD TrueShafts, a beautiful Scruggs, a wrapless inexpensive Pechaeur and my player which is a nice Pechaeur with a CF Rogue shaft. I also just traded a Lambros, had a Mike Bender and a Southwest.
When people say the cue “plays well” or “plays lights out”, what do they mean? I understand deflection issues and the impact on how a cue plays, but what are people referring to when they say a cue plays well. It seems like it is mainly personal preference. For me, it is a cue with a little forward balance that is solid and stiff but with a quieter hit.
What am I missing?
Thanks!
