Is there any misunderstanding in choosing billiards clubs?

The following is taken from official website, the star of snooker.

Myth 1: Maple clubs are better than pewter clubs.

I often encounter this problem, and many friends think that maple clubs have great elasticity, strong plugging and unplugging ability and better performance than pewter clubs. Actually, it's not exactly like this. In ancient China, Fraxinus mandshurica was always the main raw material for making grab sticks. The reason is that Fraxinus mandshurica has good elasticity and toughness, good stability and is not easy to deform. Do you still remember the story in the Water Margin? When Song Wu was drunk on Jingyanggang, he was holding a grey whistle stick in his hand (although it was useless to kill a tiger). This shows that at least in the Song Dynasty, the application technology of Fraxinus mandshurica was quite common. I don't deny that maple clubs are really good in elasticity. They are really better than ash clubs in some respects. However, it can't be said that any maple club is better than the gray club. Maple trees are more affected by the weather, and their adaptability is not as strong as ash club. In different temperature and humidity environments, the performance fluctuates slightly, and the control difficulty increases accordingly. Here, I don't want to give these two kinds of clubs a competition, but the point is that maple is better than ash, which is definitely a misunderstanding. In the simplest example, jimmy white, who is recognized as the strongest among the masters, used an ash wood club.

Myth 2: Wood grain determines the performance of the club.

This problem is also a common misunderstanding. Many friends use wood grain as the first criterion when choosing clubs. Some friends say that the wood grain of the club is not straight, and the club will deform along the wood grain in the future, which I think is incorrect. The grain of the club actually depends on the cutting angle of the whole material. The larger the cutting angle, the straighter the arrow. We know that the material selection of clubs may come from the trunk, bark, roots, crown and even branches of a tree. Why are the clubs of the same material and brand-name clubs much more expensive than brand-name clubs? Because brand-name clubs are very picky in material selection, they generally only choose the part near the bark in the middle of the trunk, commonly known as "two skins". This part of the wood meets the requirements of hardness and elasticity to the maximum extent and is not easy to deform. Low-grade clubs are not so strict, so if you unfortunately choose a club with wood branches, no matter how good the grain of your club is, it is difficult to avoid deformation. Now many friends say that the lines of some foreign brands such as JP are not good. In fact, this is because they reduced the cutting angle of wood in order to save more precious materials. Conditional friends can also try. JP with bad lines feels that the force is very transparent and the force transmission is complete when hitting the ball, which can prove that the line does not determine the performance of the club.

Myth 3: the misunderstanding of mushroom-shaped leather head with small copper mouth

This is also a very common misunderstanding. Many friends like to choose copper nozzles with smaller diameters when choosing clubs. The most common ones are 9.5mm and 9mm, and some even require smaller copper nozzles. After buying it back, they have to repair a mushroom skin. Why is this? In fact, many friends think that the smaller the club head, the more accurate the shot. In fact, this is not correct. The smaller the club head, the easier it is for the white ball to spin, because it is difficult for you to hit the center of the white ball stably, and the rotation of the white ball has an absolute influence on the accuracy. Mushroom head is actually a technology invented to make up for the small club head. Personally, I don't admire the mushroom head, because the mushroom head is congenitally deficient. (Therefore, I suggest that friends might as well choose a 9.8mm or 10 mm club head. As long as they adapt themselves, it will greatly help improve the accuracy. Most professional players' clubs are actually within this range. Everyone loves Sullivan, and his club head is 9.8 mm

Other misunderstandings:

Other common misconceptions include: the heavier the club, the stronger the insertion force. The longer the club, the more stable the shot. A heavy club can really increase the impact of the club on the ball, but the strength of rotation depends more on the integrity and penetration of the strength than how hard you hit the ball. An overweight club will affect the stability of the hand and reduce the hitting accuracy, which is difficult to control. However, an excessively long club can not improve the stability of hitting the ball, on the contrary, it will decrease, because the longer the club is, the greater the torque of moving back and forth, and the greater the possibility of deformation. The International Federation of Taiwan stipulates that the clubs used in official competitions should not be shorter than 135mm, and the length is not limited, which fully illustrates this point, and this aspect is more related to the technical level.
