![]() ![]() I use a 18 oz break cue and a 17.75 oz play cue. This is around 17oz but many prefer 19oz. Thus, there is a minimum weight for the cue stick that works well. Where mass comes in is when the cue stick becomes so light that the weight of the forearm so outweights the stick you cannot easily feel what the stick is doing and you fail to place the tip on the CB at the correct spot. ![]() Thus, there is nothinig the player can do with the energy transfer equation, except deliver the tip to the CB as fast as possible. Since the CB leaves the tip in less than 2 milliseconds, the shock wave has not even arrived at the players hand by the time the CB is on its way. Durring this compression the energy transfer takes place. Thus a larger mass in the cue stick is accelerated slower by the player and delivers less speed to the CB, and a light cue is accelerated faster.Īs teh tip impacts the CB, the tip, shaft and a tiny portion of the CB compress. Newton figured out that f=m*a and thus a=f/m. The faster this cue tip moves the faster the cue ball travels. The physics of the problem relates to energy transfer through the cue tip. I hope to post more rather than just asking for help. I have heard that phenolic tips are very picky about chalk, but will pair up nicely with a rub from a Masters chalk.įeedback is very appreciated. product/elite-heavy-27oz-banned-break-cue I would just like to know if you guys have any feedback from this brand of cue and its specifications, and the website as well (reliability, Canada shipping, etc.). And the speed is probably because I try to lift up the cue butt just before the break strike in which gravity (weight factor) gets a part in the form (Wu does this, Bustamante and de Luna as well). Though I'm not a massive guy (5'8'' 170lbs), I found that I can get to my maximum speed and control with heavier cues, and with the 20oz cue, I found myself being able to plant the cue ball in the middle area more often. Searching for break cues again, I've discovered the Elite Heavy 27 oz cue with a phenolic tip. I've tried a 20 oz cue at a billiard store and saw significant improvement in the speed and control of my break. And with being 18 and paying for school loans, I don't have that kind of money to just spend on a break cue. I found out that Wu Chia Ching (which I'm using as a beginner's reference) uses a Predator shaft with a Mezz cue butt. I've been researching for different break cues throughout the internet. In these two months, I have been practicing my break using a cheap China-made 19oz cue that came with the table. Maybe because I have the Filipino billiard blood lol. My parents bought me a $900 wooden slate table 2 months ago and I've been addicted to practicing ever since. I doubt anyone would need my advice with my experience level anyway.Īnywho, I've been playing for 2 months now. ![]()
