Cue tips regarding deflection

Sandbagger said:
I've been away from the game for about 15years and just started playing again... but I can remember when guys just shot pool and didn't obsess over low deflection, to soft a tip, to hard a tip, which carbon fiber shaft works best, what material a pool ball is the best... this is some funny shit.

👍👍👍👍👍😂 I’m getting a new shaft for one of my Viking cues and requested a 1”-1 1/4” ferrule instead of their super 3/4” ferrule. Waiting for them to email back something about deflection just so I can say “I’m getting a standard wood shaft and a longer ferrule, do you really think I give a shit about deflection?” Or I might pull a PJ from up above(page 1) and respond “What’s deflection?”😂
But sandbagger, seems like over 50% of the shooters nowadays at least in the area I shoot have some kind of LD. I don’t get it either…gave up arguing about them at this point. Shoot with what you like!

Today, there are all sorts of cue tips. My question is do varies cue tips affect a cue shafts deflection? I have been using a Kumui clear medium on a Tascarella 20 oz cue! It’s a stiff shaft and firm hit. Recently, a team mate in my league went to a Kumui soft! I tried it and ugh! Way too soft for me. So soft it would appear that over time it could cause deflection versus a hard tip like a Le Pro. It changed the entire feel of the cue. Almost to the point that his heavy stiff shaft at 4.4 oz was offset by the soft tip. My point is do soft layered tips compromise a great shaft that has very low deflection? All input appreciated!!

They didnt have internet forums either, and yet, here you are! 😬😝
 
Thankyou for everyone’s feedback! Very appreciated. This issue actually arose during a conversation regarding cues and if you compare cues one should have the same tip for an appropriate comparison. It made the cue comparison a bit more difficult when one cue had a kumui soft versus a Le pro tip!!! Thanks again everyone!

Longest shot on pool table is nine feet. Ever read what I wrote, or just live stunting 💩❓

Many people play good with Maple shafts.

Guess you like crutches, Btw ever shoot a Flintlock using patched round ball. Elective range is 75 yards for deer.

Got to be skill hunter, stalker, and creeper.

Like low defection shafts, buy 50 for Christmas gifts.

Back under your rock now sun is rising.

only deflects when you hit off center .... a good pool player knows how to adjust for this. if you are having to shoot constantly way outside of center on the horizontal axis ... you are doing something wrong.

I see you’re a squirt expert.


A good bow shooter can adjust for crosswind - how many of them choose stronger crosswind?
