I usually play on an 8 foot table w/ slow cloth. Was looking for something to give me a bit more pop while retaining cue ball control. Here are my thoughts after 10 minutes w/ this cue.
After watching one of Dr. Dave's videos recently, I decided to try a 2d ball break for 8 ball. On the slow cloth, I dry break fairly regularly in 8 ball, even though I have a decent break. Over lunch one day I did a quick experiment to see how it compared to breaking from the middle. I made a ball 3/10 times breaking from center but had good cue ball control & better spread. I made a ball 7/10 times w/ a 2d ball break, but had worse cue ball control & more clusters. Today I received this cue in the mail & hit a few before the wife came home. I made a ball 10/10 times (5 from center, 5 from the rail) & had good control. Looks like a keeper. Full review to follow.
