cue/tip throwing off

[danielkandi]

yeah im using blue diomand now, feels that i am playing all my shots with drag , maybe caz i m not used to this tip, but i can tell that i miss less, damn i knew it was either the tip or the cue caz i would miss a 100% shot, not sure if i can get used to this blue diamond though

I would say to give the kamui brown medium or mediumhard a try. Personally the medium hard hits the most accurate. You will loose a bit of the soft hit, but you will gain in accuracy. Just make sure you tip is always flush with the ferrule. It helps decrease throw/deflection.

Played in a match on Friday, lots of safety to get in the balls.

The other guy messed up, split the reds and left me plum on a nice red and screw straight back for the black. Nice little stock shot for me.

Everyone's looking with baited breath............ Jumped the white ball so high in the air it hit the guy cueing up in the match on the other table.

Ah, I guess it's time for a tip change!

Couldn't just have been a bad shot Shockerz, got to be either tip, cue or chalk. Maybe combination of all three lol

Hi
I realize that i miss lots of easy shots , specially long pots and slow shots. last week my coach said that my cue is throwing off, and when i play with side i need to aim thick etc, however today i changed my tip and i realize that i miss very easy shots. i cue as best as i can and i still miss those easy shots, it feels that its not me playing those shots.

yet i dont know if its my cue or i should blame the tip of the cue
how do i find out the problem? and if its the cue what should i do? or if its the tip what tip i should try?

been using elk master for awhile, however i did use blue diomond once but it felt too hard.

i changed my cue 8 months ago ,its baracuda gold and i paid around $450 for it, the cue is very straight and it has no problem.


thanks for suggestions

Each cue has deflection. Some more, some less.
This depends on nature of the wood.
At the end, player get used to it and learn how to compensate and adjust.
S Hendry's cue deflected as hell. But he could play with it , very well .

Usually if you have a new cue, gonna take some time before you get used to it.
especially if you swtich from a high deflection cue to a stiff one . ( Hendry had the same problem when he changed his cue ) .

What you can do is, just pick up a club cue or any other cue and give it a try.
If you keep missing than this has nothing to do with your cue.
Usually if you miss more often and consistenly, than is something wrong with your technique and has nothing te do with your cue .

Just the tip mate. Done is twice again since Friday and the tip has that look and feel about it now.

Chalk struggling to stick and tip too solid.

I have a guy who always has me change his tips when he's on a run of bad form. He openly admits he needs something to blame so the tip gets it!
