I happened to be playing some bar pool a while back using a bar cue that had a nice tip but was heavy at the tip end and thick, etc., as most bar cues seem to be.
I had a table-length shot and needed to draw the cueball back to where it started. I fired away and, surprisingly to me, the c/b came back too far with ease. That is, I didn't hit that low or anything that I could tell, but it sure came back easily and far.
Compared to the l/d shaft I usually use, this draw was almost too easy.
What's up with that? Can anyone provide some science to show why this happened?
Thanks,

EDIT: It was a valley cue ball with, I think, the purple logo on it.
EDIT again: The tip was dime-shaped.
