I wanted to do a survey and find out what people play with? Example: I play with
Length: 58 inches
weight:18.5 ounces
Shaft:13mm
Taper:16 to 16.5 inches from tip
Ferrulle: 3/4 inches Melamine non-squirt
Balance Point:19 to19.5 inches from bottom
Balance point ratio: 33.62% behind balance & 66.37% front of balance
Tip: Lepro
Joint: Flat face 3/8 into wood
Joint material: Wood not ivory or Stainless
Construction method: Cored with maple do not like other way!
I checked all 4 of the cues I have keeped in my collection and examined them for simularities as I have had hundreds of cues but kept these because I loved the feel. I noticed they all had the same BALANCE POINT, TAPER & LENGTH. The only variable that changed on them was the weight varied and the butt diameter. i.e. Szamboti style butt vs. 80's style size!
All of you are pretty savy and I would love to hear what the specs are on your favorite hitting cue? I hope some pro's can chime in on what there cue specs are regarding taper & Balance Point particularly. lenght would help as well in terms of measurements and comparing apples with apples and oranges with oranges. I would like to see if the ratios are the same on what people like. I.E. or "that is" if my cue is 58 inches with 19.5 balance point the ratio is 38.5 inches or 66.37 percent of the cue to the front of balance versus 19.5 inches or 33.62 percent to the back of balance point. I think if I sample the AZ community we could come to a majority concensus on the Balance point, taper lenght, tip, Squirt level & etc.
Thanks for the input!
