Grips!

[boba_fett23]

I have been struggling with my grip lately and am trying to get a consensus on how everybody?s grips there cue.

I thought I would leave a couple question for people to answer if they feel like contributing.

How important is the grip?

Describe how tight or loose you grip or hold the cue?

How do you think it effects spin, position or accuracy?

Thanks,

boba_fett23 I grip the cue where the wrap ends but jut before the wood and grip it extremely tight because if I grip the cue loose I miscue 90% of the time.
