Take all of the weight out of your break cue

Speaking for the world? Wonder where you're from 😜

Dude, give it a rest...if I said the world was round you'd try to make an argument against that too..everyone except you and possibly some woke lgbtq+ people like a power break with cue ball control and no cut break shit with the cb flying around the table.

Deal with it.

I hope you're ok :)

But, back on topic, light works for me. Lots of great insights shared in this thread! Thanks all.

No. the equation in play here is conservation of momentum. p=mv. so a cue with 30% more mass only needs 78% of the velocity to have equal momentum.

Right you are - I must have been thinking of E=MC^2. Still, mass plays a significant role and the optimum weight/speed combination is different for different players.

incorrect. momentum is a measurement of force over time. Kinetic energy is a capacity to do work (i.e. transfer energy into a rack). Kinetic energy is scalar and increases quadratically with speed, where a 10% speed increase results in a 21% increase in KE, as apposed to a linear increase with mass.

I'm fine, dont worry.

Glad to hear it. Let's make people smile, rather than frown. Makes the world a nicer place to live :)

Ans Archer used a 20 ounce break cue, certainly you should get him into an argument.

Have quite liked watching people argue with him last year, not sure I can be bothered.

P.s.whats your average break speed?

MR 14-16mph, WPA 20-22mph table depending (I found I took it down to around 16mph when the table was needing it), 8/10ball 16 -18mph is suitable, but I sure like giving it a bit more when I'm feeling good - these are the speeds that I seem to have success with, but not a hard and fast rule for me, and also granted I don't keep track, and this was from some experimenting about a year ago which I posted about previously.
