Low-squirt shafts are notoriously hard to jump with, and I've never heard a convincing reason why. My custom shaft is very low-squirt and very hard to jump with. 1st generation Predators I've had were hard to jump with. Any house cue with a decent tip is easier than all of them.
Some say it's because low-squirt cues are lighter - but so are jump cues by design, so that doesn't seem right.
Some say it's because the tip doesn't glance off the CB fast enough - but that seems backward to me... why would less mass move slower?
My sense is that I have to hit harder with low-squirt cues to get altitude, which makes me think it might be that less end mass translates to even less "involved" mass. Is it as simple as "hit it harder"?
So WTF (What's The Facts)? Is this one of those road agent secrets? Has Dr. Dave been frittering his time away having a life rather than testing this critical question? Or did I just miss the memo during my vacation?
