Feel question

[brilliance]

I use Viking cue for more than year. I used Predator, McDermott and Actions as well.

However when I take 1 piece bar cue I have a lot better feel that with any of these.

Is that because I did not come accross right cue yet or everybody is like that?

i think everybody has found that "perfect feeling barcue" before lol.....hard to beat a full splice blank like that, kinda hard to take it with you though. Figure out what you like about it.......the weight? Measure the butt around....length, and then eventually find a custom cue with some of the same measurements, or better yet have one made to your specifications.....thats what i did.

Before contemplating on buying a new cue stick, try various brands of cue tips, other than what you're shooting with now, but tips that are of your preferred hardness Medium, Hard, etc, on the cue stick(s), that you have now, as it may be that you haven't found a tip that suits how you play, and the choice of tip does also make a difference as to how a cue hits overall, and so, that is worth considering also, before rushing off to buy a new cue stick.

If that doesn't change anything, and you decide that you want to make a cue change, then take the time locate and travel to either a billiard supply store, or a pool room w/ a pro shop, that you can try some cue sticks out, but try as many different makes, in the weight that you prefer, and that way, you'll have a much better chance of finding a cue, that has the hit and feel, that you're looking for.

I hope that this is of some help or another.

That's why I use a wrapless, wood-joint, extreem stiff cue.

Play with a Ted Harris cue, you'll know what the perfect hit feels like!
