He's right about tip curvature (more is usually better), but his understanding of "level cue" could use some work.

Can you expand on how Hunter should be understanding the concept of "level cue"?
He doesn't seem to understand that when people say "level cue" they mean "as level as possible". Their problem isn't that they're trying to keep the cue more level than is possible - their problem is something else... and he's missing it, whatever it is.

I thought he did a good job explaining it. Of course there are other factors causing players to hit the cb too high when trying to draw, but trying to keep the cue level is definitely one of them. Another one is fear of ripping the cloth. Another one is the illusion of thinking you're hitting the ball low but really not knowing where the bottom of the cb is.
