Billiards Tips

If you understand the term “Power Piston”, then you will know about or have heard something regarding a quality pool cue design made by Meucci Originals.  If you have not heard, the Power Piston is just one of the pool cues in t he Meucci line of pool cues.  The Power Piston uses the Black Dot Bullseye shaft along with a specific knowledge, which has been built into the butt section of the pool cue.  The Power Piston is easily recognized because of the forearm of the cue is a solid ivory color or a solid black color.  This portion of the cue is a thin sleeve of high-impact plastic covering a maple dowel.

The sleeve enhances the performance of the player in two ways.  It gives the player more power with less effort.  This power is seen in the enhanced forward motion speed or in the English speed when using side or a combination of the two.

The second way the Power Piston can improve the player is the reduction of deflection on the cue ball from 7 – 10% more than the other Meucci cues in their line.  This may not seem like much, but when you consider the game of nine-ball and realize 11% of the balls must be made the small percentage can make a bigger difference overall.

The action of the Black Dot Bullseye shaft when used with the special technology in the butt section of the cue results in a greater amount of compression of the cue upon impact.   Basically when the cue ball is hit the cue stick will compress the overall length of the cue stick as it is loading the cue with additional power, which will be put into the stroke on the ball allowing the loaded cue to then release.  All of this takes place in a meager fraction of .140 inches.  That minute fraction of space is the distance the cue ball travels from the first strike of the tip until the cue ball leaves the tip.  It is up to the cue maker to make these precise measurements in order for you the player to attain the advantage.  Of course the weight of the cue ball must be taken into consideration when performing these precise measurements.

So Why a Meucci, you might ask.  It is said to be the cue with the history of performance.   The whole cue is created with one priority, which is to give every player more power with less effort.  Meucci pool cues are the most accurate tools ever created for the game of pool.
