What is a cue’s “hit”?

Patrick Johnson said:
We often hear how good a cue’s “hit” is, but I don’t recall ever hearing what the “hit” is. Can it be described in more detail? Is it specific objective qualities or just the overall experience of hitting a ball with it? Can the difference(s) between “good” and “bad” hits be described in any detail?

Thanks in advance for any insights.

It like asking some one in NYC, what is Best Bagel in Manhattan.

Very subjective to each person you ask.

No right, or wrong answer.

I'm, I think a hit is something that a player subjectively/objectively want generally in a cue. Like intended/expected result from a cue. Although lots of variables come with it, shaft, deflection, weight, hardness. Softness, lightness. I think it pertains more to accuracy and feel. I'm not sure how pool players in general can determine subconsciously especially in a blind taste.

Would think most Top Pro Players, play for pay with what ever Cue by what cue maker, or company that builds Cue like CueTECH that ='s most Dollars n Cents in their pockets. Plus FREE Stuff to do with as they like like sell to fans.
 
My vote goes to Brooklyn Bagels……opened in 2002…….QVC promotes them as the best……they claim it’s the water.
I have enjoyed them for the past 24 years. My family on Staten Island keeps me supplied all year long. What a great
sandwich bagels can create and the variety of flavors is delicious…..and zero calories too.

Okay, I pushed the envelope on the calories thing but bread seems to be the staple of life down through history and bagels are better than toast, even sourdough, IMO. Besides, bagels also come in sourdough and helluva lot more.
 
A stated by Justice Potter Stewart, can’t define it but “know it when I see it.”
