When I played there was always a bit of tension in the grip, I liked my pull back tempo and pause but I couldn't get that nice transition forward , so from the stop at the back there was always a little tension to get going forward, when I look at you I see nothing coming forward bar the cue doing it, if that makes sense, I think you called it hitting from the elbow, and I can see that when you cue, I can see the shots from the point of the elbow down around four inches,with me it feels from the hand or grip, which when playing poorly can let the shoulder move slightly, or drop a little, sometimes when I was playing well I could isolate my grip from my arm and hit with my forearm and I cued much nicer but the grip and tension was always just under the surface,I hope that kind of explains it, it's not exactly what I see as the differences but as I said it's hard to explain.

So deliberately over compensate and time it wrong but with my grip open untill after contact ,so miss time it late.This is how you play darts ,MVG two nines in the same match!

just before xmas i courageously took the hand plane to my playing cue to extend it by 1/2 an inch, this was because i put a new ferrule on and took half an inch off the top in the process. i felt there was too much movement at the tip end of the shaft and i wanted to stiffen it and hopefully get more of a tighter spring when in play
anyway its not quite finished but heres some pics
and the first time working with zebrano, and i like it. see how it plays now

I've been enjoying this thread J, nice looking cues but I have a question. Is it possible to alter the balance point of a cue without messing with the weight of the cue too much? And is it an easy job, like could I send you my cue and you could sort it out for not too many beans? It's a 3/4 split BTW
