Cue "Hit" Mobo Jumbo, or a Real Measure of Cue Quality

PoolSleuth · 2005-12-21T16:25:44+00:00

I have seen several post lately about cue hit, and How GREAT a Southwest Cue Hits and I personally think the term Cue Hit can not be measured accurately. As I have never seen a Hit-O-Meter design to measure Cue performance ;) Also being fair to Southwest, and about 95% of the other popular brands of Cues. I can honestly saw I have not hit with most of em, and expect not to in the near future. I personally think many times when hit is discussed it is like trying to describe the Best Restaurant Meal you ever had, or the Best Car you ever Driven, or the best of anything else one has experienced in life. Personally of the few Cues I have hit with the one to me that seem that I personally like the way they played, or hit were. a Bert Schrager made in the 70 a Lambros with its Ultra Joint a Ted Harris a Jack Madden a Jim Buss a Lucasi a Brunswick Will Hoppie a Unknow maker Cue with what I will call Old Groth Deep Water Maple Shaft per the owners explaination of the funny Coffee colored Maple Shaft. Plus 5, or 10 more who's names slip my mind. Than there were a few what I will call High Dollar Cues that cost over $1,500.00 folks let me try, that I just thought were so, so. Pretty Cues, but I would not stand in any line to get one. So until someone invents a Computerized Cue Hit-O-Meter that can factor in all the factors that make a Cue Hit, or FEEL a certain way. I personally think discussions of Cue hit will be like talking Religion, or Politics with no winners. I hear a Religious Expert the other day on the radio say Jesus was actually born in March, and not December. :eek: Last you got to factor in Shaft Taper, Shaft Wood Dentistry, and Ferrule & Tip that add to the cues Hit, or Feel. Also I think sometime a Cues hitting characteristics changes as a Cue ages with time, and also the time of year you are playing with a Cue because of changes in the Weather, Temperature. Barometric Pressure, Humidity. Plus other Weather & Pool Room Related factors like Table Cloth Type, Condition of Cloth, and the Inside the Pool Room Weather, Temperature, Barometric Pressure, Humidity, etc. :eek: :eek:

"It hits a ton..."

That one always gets me. I guess if a cue hits 2 tons is it better?

How about the cue can draw a cueball the lenght of the table?
