Hi Mike. What do you think is the reason for the trend in people wanting stiffer and stiffer cues? Just asking as my personal experience of playing with cues as stiff as broom handles is not a positive one...

Well my bet is people have used old cues that have been very whippy & not great playing cues so insist on super stiff believing thats what they need. Its fair to say a cue to stiff can be lifeless and therefore not a great playing cue either.

Everyone will be different as its a personal thing but in my experience generally a well tapered piece of nice quality ash of the right density with just the right amount of give & spring in will make for the ideal playing cue for most of us, and its this give or flex in it that gives the right " feel ".

The way a cue is tapered actually effects the stiffness hence the reason alot of old cues with slim tapers are not always ideal playing cues, but an old one of the right taper & stiffness can make for a great playing cue.....hence the search for many amongst old cues trying to find one.

I think the fact there is no meat in cigarettes or Devonshire's finest tonic wine may also have something to do with it!!

crisp - a : notably sharp, clean-cut, and clear ; also : concise and to the point
This should help you out and I'm sure JR agrees. Probably not the best word to use but Cally got it. Nice one.

somebody kill me if people start swapping my cues for old ones.

i've never in my life seen an old cue that comes anywhere near the quality delivered today.

tip - get the tw thinned out, will probably play the way you want it.

I disagree totally with that , I bought my cue for £3.00 off a car boot ,its about 50 years old ,if not more,
I would not swap it for ten of your top of the range cues!
If you can get a good old cue they are miles better than the stuff made today.
