Nope. It's a fact.
When someone can draw the ball on the pool table with a racket or golf club, then you might have a legitimate argument.
Sure you could draw the ball with an elk master. So can I.
You would get more distance with a harder tip.
The rest of your game might go down the drain because you hate the way the hardness plays, but you would draw the ball further.
But don't listen to me.
Cut your tip off and stick the hardest tip you can find on it.
I've played with hard tips & recently with a White Diamond break tip.
I understand that the hard tip can transfer more energy for certain forces.
The compression of the different tips & the time on the ball & the wrapping of the tips around the ball & the flex of the shaft &/or ferrule material ALL can be contributing factors.
Do you have any extensive strict scientific test results data to show me?
Or are you basing what you're saying on personal experience & insufficient test data based on not so extensive study.
Have you hit with all different angles of cue stick or are you comparing basically one angle of cue stick?
I hope you can see & understand what I'm saying.
Some say all things being 'equal' BUT... all things do not always need be 'equal'.
That is why I also mentioned methods.
Yes, with a straight on shot the OB can absorb the speed that the hard tip puts on the ball along with the spin.
Will the OB pocket if not center pocket at such high speed.
I know that is more than the initial premise but it is playing pool.
How hard does one want to hit a shot?
Best Wishes.
PS That non strong female golfer (less force) can hit that 80 compression ball farther than she can hit that 100 compression ball. She can also spin that 80 compression ball more than she can spin that 100 compression ball. Science is science.
