"PLAYER - CUE MATCHING TM" SOFTWARE:
* Most CUE-SPORTS Cues are about the same size or length (58"). Yet, players come in a
wide range of sizes, heights & arm lengths. Imagine everyone trying to wear the same size shoes:
It just doesn't work! Neither does making cues all the same size without due
consideration for the size of the player!
* GLADIATORS-usa.com offers a cue design software solution to the problem of sizing a cue
to an individual player. An Excel spreadsheet has been programmed to automate the
design calculations and data collection needed to match players with cues.
* In the above graphic, when a cue is properly sized or "matches" well with a player, the "blue"
"Cue Characteristics" graph will fall within the "red" "Player Characteristics" graphs
created by the Excel program. Improved cue sizing means a smoother stroking cue and
"improved playing performance" for the Pool player!
* EXAMPLE APPLICATIONS - CASE STUDIES:
* CASE I: 3-19-04
Player:
Ray
Cue:
HanBat Billiard Cue w/Modified Ferrule
Before Modification:
Bridge Distance: 8"
Separation Distance: 38"
Balance: 37"
Cue Length: 57"
* The above photo shows cue Balance and Hold locations "before" modification
by addition of an 8" joint-extension (shown).
* Case I - After Modification:
Bridge Distance: 8"
Separation Distance: 45"
Balance: 42"
Cue Length: 65"
* CASE I - Modification Results:
(1) An 8" cue extension was
custom built to GLADIATORS-usa.com
specifications by cue maker Lane Simons at a cost of $25.00. The extension
matches the original wood & screw characteristic as much as possible.
(2) The modified cue with extension added was tested and the
after modification Cue Characteristics graph was prepared.
The "After" graph shows the extended cue as matching with
the Player's Characteristics.
(3) Ray plays better with the cue than before the
extension was used to modify the cue and has won several
local Pool tournaments with the extended length cue.
* CASE II: 3-27-04
Player: Ray
Cue:
Prechaur
M80 w/Sims Vibration
Laboratory LimbSavor X-1 Cue Stick Stabilizer (Bumper)
Before Modification:
Bridge Distance: 8"
Separation Distance: 39"
Balance: 39.5"
Cue Length: 58"
* Above photo shows cue Balance and Hold locations "Before" modification
of the cue by addition of a 6" joint-extension (shown).
* Case II - After Modification:
Bridge Distance: 8"
Separation Distance: 43"
Balance: 43.5"
Cue Length: 65"
* CASE II - Modification Results:
(1) An 6" cue extension was
custom built to GLADIATORS-usa.com
specifications by Lane Simons at a cost of $25.00.
The extension matches the original wood & screw characteristic as much as possible.
(2) The modified cue with extension added was tested and the
after modification Cue Characteristics graph was prepared.
The "After" graph shows the extended cue as matching with
the Player's Characteristics.
(3) Ray plays better with the cue than before the
extension was used to modify the cue. The extension has made
the modified cue to now match well with the player's desired
hold characteristics.
(4) Although this
Prechaur cue is a more expensive cue than
the Case I, HanBat Billiard Cue; the HanBat is preferred by
Ray due to the more precise 10 mm tip and stiffer 14
mm shaft without the Prechaur's pro-taper. This extended
Prechaur cue will serve as a back-up cue.
* Since 2006 Ray has been playing with a proto-type of a new
type of CUE-SPORTS CUE. This "new" type of cue is Ergonomic & Tunable
like a race car. It has adjustable: length (48" to 72"), weight (12 to >25 oz),
balance, weight distribution and "hit". This "new" cue & case takes advantage of
modern aerospace materials technologies. Look for "MJOLNIRTM - CUES & CASES"
coming out in 2010. "MJOLNIR" is the name of Thor's "Magic Hammer"!
The magic hammer of the Thunder God - Thor. The hammer was called "MJOLNIR"
and was said to produce lightning bolts.
"MJOLNIR" made Thor "invincible" in battle against Gods and men!
