coming into the tip sound and feel so different from a ball coming off of the tip?
why does a ball...

In the course of playing, when would a ball ever come into a tip?
Whenever I cause it to... I guess it would happen most commonly while doing a certain stroke drill.
1) on a foul
2) doing that drill where you shoot from the spot to the middle of the far cushion and hold your follow through to see if the rebounding ball has come straight back.
Only things I could come up with.
What do "coming into" and "coming off of" mean?
Are you talking about the sound that tip/ball contact makes?

Yes, the sound that the contact makes.
A non-scientific view
When the ball hits the tip, the cue is passive
When the cue hits the ball, the ball is passive
pt....who may be passive
aggressive :angry:
If you're asking about the CB rolling into the tip (say when you leave your cue in the way too long) vs. the cue hitting the CB (like for a normal shot), I'd say it's the difference in speed - the CB probably rolls into the tip much slower than the tip typically moves into the CB.

My guess is that it's mostly from the ball's surface either sliding against the tip or grabbing and dragging the tip down before releasing it when the ball is rolling vs. just the sound of impact when it's not. Maybe you can have someone shoot a stop shot into the tip of you cue to test that theory... :grin:
My guess is the doppler effect? When you stroke the cue is heading away from you but when the CB hits your tip it's heading towards you.
You could record them from the same spot and see if they are different. To me it's like firing a weapon and listening to someone else fire a weapon, two different sounds. When I'm firing I'm expecting that noise, but when not firing you never really know when it's coming?

why would you...

The cue also hits the ball with more energy than the ball hits the cue with since the cue is heavier than a ball. Also the ball is most likely spinning (rolling) when it hits the cue. On the other hand I can tell you for a fact the cue also sounds different hitting the ball when you strike the ball with the ferule.
Go ahead, ask how I know the last option. :yikes::yikes::yikes:
