But if you do break a cue that you deemed too bent to use, you had nothing to lose in the first place, right? You might want to practice on a really bent cue rather than your favorite stick or try it on house cues, which tend to have sturdier shafts than more flexible custom cue sticks.

How do you fix a cue stick? You Will Need: Remove the old tip. Lightly sand the top of the ferrule. Select your new tip. Rub the back of the tip on the fine grit sandpaper and score the tip with the razor blade. Giani Maestri Reviewer. What causes pool cues to warp? All cues , regardless of price WILL warp if you do not take care of them. The two most common reasons are temperature change and side pressure. Never leave a cue in your car! Leaving a cue in your car during extreme temperatures, both hot and cold, will warp a cue in a matter of hours.
Harald Lindemayr Supporter. How do I choose a pool cue? Part 2 Testing the Cue. Hold the cue in your hand to feel the weight. Choose a comfortable wrap. Look down the length of the cue to judge its straightness. Choose a tip. Take practice shots on a pool table. Opt for the stick with the least vibration within your price range.
Dolnoserbski Kirchhoffs Supporter. With a fine grade of steel wool or very fine sandpaper, lightly remove the glaze finish from the shaft area that is warped. It's best to have it down to the bare wood.
This is easily replaced with a polyurethane spray after completing the process. Next, remove the butt bumper. This, again, will leave an attach point. Wrap a small gauge wire around a heavy object, such as a large hammer or other heavy iron tool Attach this to the bumper end.
Find a location to which you can attach the tip end that will leave the cue free to hang staight up and down without touching anything else. Place the cue in a hot shower for 10 to 15 minutes and hang from your chosen location. Every day as often as you can, spray the shaft with warm to hot water.
What this means is I get through the ball a lot better. I can draw the ball much further, hit the ball harder all with the same bridge distance. I like to pull the cue back all the way to my bridge which means a pull back of around inches, even on the slow shots.
With a locked elbow in these shots I tend to jab because my follow through is limited or I try and force more follow through and drop my elbow at the wrong time or too much.
Now, the traditional pool stance does not gain anything from a bent elbow.. A locked elbow is far more beneficial to a side on higher stance. But, I've read a lot of posters on here are taking up snooker fundamentals but may be used to playing with a locked elbow Give this a try and see how cleaner you get through the ball.
Maybe a "locked elbow" creates stress. I just feel all hunched up with a locked elbow. It also puts a lot of strain on the elbow joint. Pidge, When I was having problems with a perfectly straight stroke, I was messing around with my body mechanics literal body mechanics by the way to see how different bends influence the rest of my body for shooting and I stumbled on this but eventually got rid of it.
What bending my elbow did for me is it forced me to turn my chest inward and get it out of the way of my stroke, it also pulled my grip-hand shoulder behind my head farther to keep everything on the shot line. However, I found it hard to concentrate on the shot because so much unnatural stimuli was in my view when down on the shot. It has it's benefits and I think it's a relatively short way to learn to get them.
But I had a few drawbacks and had to re-think my approach as well and that lead me to stop bending my elbow as much as possible. Silver Member. Click to expand As someone who plays a lot of snooker at least until recently I have always been puzzled by the emphasis placed on the bent elbow.
I was taught this, and have been playing with it for many years, but about months before my forced hiatus from all things billiards due to a medical issue, I started using a straight arm, partly because of playing some 3 cushion, in which the stance is different. The medical issue affected my cueing arm and shoulder, and was unrelated to the change, btw. I loved the stability offered by the straight arm. So I started using it in pool and snooker too.
Same findings. It makes it so much easier to keep still, and I can't really find any drawbacks to it. I still get through the ball equally well, I don't feel a great deal of stress although if I was playing for 20 hours at a time, maybe I would feel it more. Extending the limbs fully IS somewhat unnatural, but what is natural is not always what works best. So long as you don't experience any pain or discomfort in which case I would revert to the bent elbow I don't see the harm.
