Strange Cue Phenomenon

[Big Splash!]

Radial consistency.

Yep, ash will lack that. How would you suggest it is overcome?

Don't try to overcome it. Just try different cues ( holding them at different rotational angles if you like )

until you find one that feels right for you. . . . over-overanalysing will end up with you talking to yourself and not

focusing on enjoying the game. IMHO.

Laminated shafts.

Quite a few players mark their shafts so they know which way is up (although it can also be used to assess the shaft's pivot point).

Is that fella really saying because a cue doesn't roll on a table that means it won't move side to side when cueing, how does he figure that out, (just lift the butt clear of the table and see how easy it is to move side to side, )or am I missing something? when in the cueing position there is nothing stopping it coming out around the chest, ( no table friction) certainly not a weighted strip at the bottom.

Not sure mate never tried one by the sounds of it the cue is weighted a bit like the bottom of a boat - is it the keel? So you could slightly feel any turn of the wrist?

A couple of things here -
1 you might not hold the cue in flat up position - I used to hold it flat down this helped keep the cue nice and straight.
2 to get a cue weighted this way it would make it overly heavy for me at a guess.
3 you can still twist the cue slightly and cue straight - many people do this.
