Increasing the english you get off your shaft?

Question

What is better for english when it comes to a shaft?

1.Stiffer or more flexible?

2.Thinner or Thicker (I.E. 12mm or 13mm)

3.Short or long Furrel

4.Hard, Med, or Soft tip?

Also add anything else you can think of.

Answer 1

1/ stiffer

2/ thicker 13mm

3/ short furrel

4/ med tip

Answer 2

A well maintained tip on any of the above will perform equally. The only way to impart more english is to improve your stroke. Many people including myself have tried to find the magical solution.

The truth is that several different pro's who all have incredible cue ball power use completely different shafts. Most of them swear they have the best set up but the only thing they have in common is an excellent stroke.

Answer 3

stiff shaft -less deflection more solid hit

13 mm it fits the cue ball better

my choice is a short furrel-it just feels better

super hard well dressed tip-chalk each shot
