two profiles shown in the above graphic!
Can or should you "guess" the best
of any Billiard cue.
* Aside from the Cue Tip & chalk's material properties, selection & maintenance of
the "Best Shape" or
"Profile" is critical to
* GLADIATORS-usa.com has recently completed an extensive study of Cue Tip Shapes,
and after computer modeling many, many Cue Tip Shapes -
an "Optimal Cue Tip Shape" has been determined.
* CUE-SPORTS players around the world will be surprised to learn how to "
best" shape their cue tips!
* The above graph illustrates the "half profile" or Cue Tip Shape for 5 different
cue tip profiles. These profiles are identified with numbers (1) thru (5):
* Profile (1) shows a cue tip impact surface with a small radius of curvature,
plus an edge bevel. The edge is beveled at the Static Friction Angle for the surface
interface of a chalked leather cue tip with a cast phenolic resin cue ball.
* Profile (2) shows a cue tip impact surface with a "USA Dime" radius of curvature.
This cue tip shape is most often used on Snooker cue tips, and on below average
shaft size American Pool cues.
* Profile (3) shows a cue tip impact surface with a "USA Nickel" radius of curvature.
This cue tip shape is used most often on average and above size American Pool cue shafts.
* Profile (4) shows a cue tip impact surface with a "Ball Shape" radius of curvature.
This cue tip shape is the most popular shape used on Russian Billiards
or Pyramid cue tips. Pyramid is played on 12' tables with large diameter billiard
balls, and the pockets are only a little wider than the balls; thus extreme shot
making accuracy is more important than ability to "Spin" the cue ball.
* Profile (5) shows a cue tip impact surface which combines a large radius of curvature
central area with a small radius of curvature fillet that makes a smooth transition to
an edge bevel. The edge is beveled at the Static Friction Angle for the surface interface
of a chalked leather cue tip with a cast phenolic resin cue ball.
* Profiles (1) and (5) show the extremes or full range of radius of curvature for cue tips.
These profiles have been mathematically modeled using an Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.
The model precisely identified, accurately quantified and analyzed the full range of
possible Cue Tip Shapes. The spreadsheet allows "what if" analysis for any variable or
parameter. For example: "What If" the cue shaft diameter is changed,
or if the tip radius was smaller or larger.
* The above graphic illustrates the full range of Cue Tip Profiles or shapes reviewed in
GLADIATORS-usa.com's - "Cue Tip Shape Research Study". The computer program or
model prepared in this study provides a "SPIN PERFORMANCE vs. STRIKE" output
graphic, which clearly illustrates the
"best" or
