Is it just me?...or, have you grown tired, too, of the standard descriptor "hit's a ton" being used to describe any and every cue on the planet?
To me, its SO over-used, and extricibly mandatory that it's totally lost any significance.
I've accumulated and sampled the gamut of cues and, with minor exception (and always related to shoddy construction or obvious abuse), and, in all honesty, I could say that they all "hit a ton".
I'll add, that, it's true - they all communicate that sense of solidness with minutely perceptable differences.
It's silly, but, now,when I hear or read this about a cue, I just take this to mean that there is nothing, noticably, loose, that can be sensatorily perceived when the cue contacts the cue ball (or, when the cue is slammed against the floor, or wall, in disgust).
