The easy truth is {that a} human, male or feminine, has restricted energy and might solely transfer a specific amount of weight so quick; the heavier the load, the slower the swing. Conversely, the lighter the load, the sooner the swing.
It’s the velocity of the cue, not its mass (weight), that causes the acceleration of the cue ball due to the cue’s compression in the meanwhile of affect because it first tries to beat the inertia to stay at relaxation.
The optimum cue weight to perform most velocity and compression earlier than the cue snaps again and sends the cue ball ahead is about 18 to 18 3/4 oz. for many men and about 17 to 17 3/4 oz. for most ladies.
What do I imply once I say compression? I imply that in the meanwhile of affect, with enough velocity, earlier than the cue ball strikes, the very first thing that occurs is the shaft bends away from it is backbone creating an “S” formed wave that travels by the cue because the cue is fore-shortened by it is compression, thus loading power into the cue.
Because the inertia to stay at relaxation is overcome, the cue ball is projected ahead by the ability of the participant’s arm and swing velocity plus an extra kick from the pre-loaded cue, thus equaling cue energy.
