Tip diameter vs accuracy

[Sensation]

Allright, everything has been said.

The reason a wider tip is more forgiving is because you generally use less english with a wider tip. Some people measure english by the distance from the outside of the cueball. If you line up the outside edge of the tip to the outside edge of the cueball you will have less english with the larger tip because the contact point is farther away from the edge of the cueball.

That's true. When using extreme english we almost all do that.

About the drawing of Twilight: If the tip's shape was a nickel or dime... we wouldn't be much afraid of the miscue.

I do understand that the shaft diameter does affect shot accuracy (due to squirt etc)...BUT if there is an accuracy affect, the Z shaft should improve the accuracy NOT lower it.

Not always true (but almost). Ex. Exagerated throw (due to offset with the Z vs. 314) depending on the speed and distance of the shot makes the ball not go in. Rare but possible.

B-->

Three is "what effect does lower squirt have on all this?" - lower squirt should = more accuracy AND more forgiveness (because it shoots a tighter pattern) BUT, again as discussed in another thread, lower squirt means slightly more spin....

In conclusion, If we take 2 shafts (13mm ans 11mm) that squirt equally, with the same tip radius, THEN with the same contact point we should have the same shot as a result. (yes... there are other factors but... enough!)

Dear NaturalEnglish, you were right in my opinion. clap clap
