That's it. I'm gonna see what I can get away with with just the jump breaker.
Cue Tip Contact Myth-Busting Truths in Super Slow Motion

I work on speed control quite a bit, by varying my stroke length for the shot speed I want, so I was able to get fairly dialed in after a few shots, but the difference was fairly small (although, the difference between the phenolic tip and soft tip is very noticeable). I felt like I used the same stroke with each of these lag shots:
If you want numbers, see the video and info here:
Agreed. Some people seem to care a lot about the "feel" and "sound" of a hit. All I care about is sending the CB where I want with the intended speed and spin. I could care less about how the hit sounds or feels after the CB is gone. For more info, see:
I feel like I now have a new Weapon of Mass Destruction (WMD) in my pool case ... a break cue with a phenolic tip for massive power draw shots! And I owe it to the Soft Tip Mythers for forcing me to "explore." Thanks!
Hey Dave. My secret on this draw shot was actually simple. I was just focusing hit it hard with max bottom left... and try hit it so cueball not jump after contact. Maybe people could not beat it because harder tips jumps more easy? And object ball is close..
in general, softer tips produce less cue ball deflection, while harder tips produce more.?
I don't want none, pool praying mantis.
Because this is a hit test and not spin test. It’s not testing spin through all variances of stroke. It’s a specific hit, to return a specific result.
Wrong. A longer contact time creates more CB deflection. A denser/heavier tip also creates more. Sometimes the effects cancel. The worst combination is a soft tip that is dense/heavy. For more info, see the section at the bottom of the page here:
It's a comparison of how different tips react with the same hit. If the hit varied the test wouldn't show anything.
You really don't understand this stuff - but please feel free to continue demonstrating that.

there is a section in "Cue Ball Spin and Deflection" by Dave Alciatore and Bob Jewett that discusses the influence of cue tip hardness on cue ball deflection.
In Chapter 7 of the book, titled "The Influence of Tip Hardness," the authors discuss the effects of tip hardness on cue ball deflection and aim compensation. They present experimental data that shows how deflection changes as the tip hardness is varied, and they discuss the implications of these findings for players and cue makers.
The authors note that, in general, softer tips produce less cue ball deflection, while harder tips produce more. However, they caution that the relationship between tip hardness and deflection is complex and can depend on many factors, such as cue speed, tip curvature, and cue ball spin. They also discuss how tip hardness can affect aim compensation and offer tips for players on how to adjust their aim when using different tip hardnesses.
Overall, the section on tip hardness in "Cue Ball Spin and Deflection" provides a thorough and informative analysis of this important factor in cue ball deflection and aim compensation.
are you going to update the book?
You aren’t willing to see the flaws in the test. Not my fault. If I have to vary my stroke to produce the same results, that’s not a proper test. If I have to hit down on the cue ball adding drag to kill the speed, that’s not a proper test.
more OWT's.
Is this more ChatGPT gibberish? If so, it needs to do a much better job scouring the Internet. It apparently hasn't yet seen my new cue tip hardness effects resource page or my System for Aiming With Sidespin (SAWS). Maybe these links will help the AI Web Agents find up-to-date info.
Definitely lots of "Odors With Taste" in this thread. Look it up in an online Urban Dictionary.
Was anybody surprised by the power draw results? Even though the "science" and previous tests in earlier videos told me it should work, I was still honestly a little pleasantly surprised.

did you not write that book?
Take a hike pal. What's toxic is all those that get butthurt and will not accept data backed by both real-world use and hi-speed video. Its laughable how facts/science get all the 'mythers' panties in a wad.
