how long did it take you to adjust to a new cue?

Assuming the cue your switching to is reasonably similar, I don't see the big deal. If there is, it must be mental or you're over using English to where the differences in deflection due to the shaft are causing the problems.

I disagree with this in many cases. Adjusting is learning. I think that sometimes other things shake loose when a person's comfortable existence is challenged.

I change cues a lot. I have nine I play with. It doesn't take me more than a few shots to 'adjust'.

That neither proves or disproves anything. ;)

Assuming your game and fundamentals are sound and constant , if a piece of equipment forces you to change that base mark then I personally find fault with that.

Now I acknowledge that with pool being such a simple game and simple 'movement' , that minor changes and adjustments may not be the critical or terribly difficult to make....particularly minor things like aim compensation.

Beyond that though , I just don't see any reason to do so nor does it change my opinion on the theory.
 
It use to take me a few months..then a few weeks..
once I figured out all I needed to do was use the same tip
that I had on my main player...it got a lot easier..
With LD shafts I do the same..now it just takes a few shots
to get the feel..feel an the tip are so important for me..
hope you work it out for you..

There is unlikely to be a completely definitive answer to your question. Some folks take more, or less time than others.
Whether the shaft is low deflection can be one consideration. Changes in cue weights may be another. And even wrapped versus wrapless cues can effect a persons comfortability.
I personally play with a cue I made, so it was perfect right from the get go. :smile:

ooh..now your just being bias..lol
 
Cue

When I got my first custom, it felt good to start with, but to get used to it for every type of shot took about 3 weeks.
 
Last year I went from a 20 oz meucci to my current DP at 18.75 oz. A big change to say the least. I liked the way the DP looked and felt so I kept using it. When I changed the tip and ferrule it changed the whole cue. It originally had a talisman tip and polycarbonate ferrule. I changed to a moori tip with an aegis ferrule and it felt perfect to me. Needles to say I retired the meucci. I've shot (and shot well) with other cues but those still aren't mine. Keep looking and find the right one for you. The fun is in the collecting anyway.
