Also, there might be less sideways tip and shaft flex with a more centralized hit, which could have an effect (see what causes squirt for more info). It certainly is true that if you remove more material by rounding the tip down to a dime, you might reduce endmass and squirt. Also, it has been suggested by Predator that a centralized hit helps reduce squirt. Also, the efficiency of the hit might be slightly better since there will be slightly less cue vibration with the slightly-less offset from the cue’s center. This might result in a better “feel” for some people with firm shots. For shots with spin, the impact is more centralized to the core of the cue for a rounder tip.When shooting at a CB frozen to a cushion or shooting over a ball, a smaller-diameter tip allows a good hit with the cue more level, making the shot easier.If the diameter is too large, maximum draw might not be possible, and the tip is more likely to bounce off the table after the hit, which can cause a secondary hit and tip rub that can take away some of the backspin and maybe even scoop the ball up. With large tip-offset draw shots, you get more table clearance (see “ Draw Shot Primer – Part VII: tips of english” – BD, July, 2006 for illustrations) with a smaller-diameter shaft and rounder tip.A smaller-diameter shaft might make it easier for some people to visualize and pinpoint the desired tip contact point on the cue ball.Some people think a smaller-diameter LD shaft allows one to put more spin on the CB, but this really isn’t the case (see getting more spin with an LD shaft). There are possible advantages and disadvantages with a lower-squirt shaft. A smaller-diameter shaft will typically have less endmass and squirt (especially if it is solid).Also, see the first quote from Patrick Johnson below. This could help make miscues less likely at large tip offsets. If you have The Illustrated Principles of Pool and Billiards, this is illustrated in Figure 2.2 on pg. The rounder shape allows for a more uniform contact area as the tip offset is increased.Top 100 Pool Maxims, Sayings, and Quotesĭoes the tip and shaft size and shape make a difference?įor applying spin, a smaller-diameter shaft and rounder tip (approximately “dime” radius) are generally recommended.Top 100 Tips, Tricks, Secrets, and Gems.
