Club selection skills

The standard length of a snooker club is 145cm. If you have special requirements for your body shape or playing style, you can also choose the appropriate club length according to your height, arm length and strength characteristics. The following are the idioms and allusions about Lv Buwei that I compiled for you. Welcome to share.

Club selection skills

Club Choice: When choosing your own club, the first feeling is "comfort".

Weight and center of gravity

Convenience means that you have the urge to play when you pick up the pole (or you think it's cool to hit people in the head with it)! People who have no special requirements on weight can choose 18 ounce clubs, and a slightly lighter club is convenient for you to master the sense of the ball. Many domestic clubs are not made according to the standard, which leads to a great deviation of the center of gravity. Some manufacturers use wood without standard production procedures, and the counterweight of the rear handle makes the center of gravity too front or back. This kind of club will greatly affect your normal play! And it will make you lose control of your power for a long time. So from this point of view, when we choose clubs, we should try our best to choose clubs produced by regular manufacturers. Although they use other people's technology and equipment, they are still reasonable in terms of production standards.

Test the hardness of the club

Some people may not know how to choose the hardness of the club. This can't be broken by hand. Generally, maple clubs are softer than birch or oak clubs (both of which have patterns).

Judging the hardness of a patterned club depends on the pattern density of the shaft. The denser the pattern, the harder the club is. If you pay more attention to the grain of the pattern, you'd better choose a club with a straight pattern and no scar (that is, the arrow on the front of the shaft and the wood grain on the side of the shaft should be straight).

Test the toughness of the club

This will directly determine the force transmission effect of your club! The method is: hold the center of gravity of the club with one hand, and then leave the club with the other hand to feel the vibration of the club head. The club with good toughness vibrates evenly and for a long time, and the vibration force is from the inside out. Or use the other hand to hold the end of the club and hit the center of gravity, so as to feel the vibration of the club (here is another point: the faster the vibration frequency, the harder the club, and vice versa). Don't worry, feel more, compare clubs more, and you will distinguish clearly. Don't be afraid of trouble and time-consuming in order to use the club in your hand.

Technology of testing clubs

Mainly check whether the copper head of the club is loose, whether the front and rear branch interfaces are concentric, and whether there is a gap after tightening. Whether the club is smooth (many clubs are not painted, so you don't need to use sandpaper when you buy them, which can greatly reduce the chance of club deformation).

As for whether the club is straight or not, I think everyone will roll on the table:) Note: roll slowly, and check whether the shaft bounces through the backlight on the side of the club and whether there is a gap between the club and the table. Don't forget to look at the back of the club, it won't bounce. Don't hit a new club with sandpaper, it will soon break. It is best to clean the club with a semi-dry soft cloth after each use, so as not to corrode the club with clever powder and dirt. Oil the club every half month to prevent the club from cracking and deformation.

Club selection skills

It is best to hang the club vertically. Generally speaking, the dedicated cue cabinets in billiard rooms are' slender', which should be said to be approximately vertical (not absolutely vertical and horizontal). There should be no problem in this special club cabinet for people who are not very demanding or whose clubs are not particularly expensive. (Supplement: The quality of the club is poor, and it is very easy to deform, so it doesn't need such careful maintenance. A good quality club is not easy to deform. For amateurs, even if you are a little careless about the maintenance of clubs at ordinary times, without external force, that insignificant change will not affect your level. ) So for the club; As long as no external force is applied, vertical placement is enough.

Wet places should always be wiped with a dry towel (preferably pure cotton). Generally, there will be paint on the newly bought clubs, and the paint should be polished off with fine sandpaper. As for other polishing methods, types, strengths and scales, it is entirely necessary to adjust according to personal habits and preferences. Don't grind with coarse sand skin, which will seriously damage the club (you can use fine sandpaper for initial grinding and then use very fine "metallographic sandpaper" for fine adjustment). (The same is true for the polishing of leather heads. )

After using the club, it is very important to evenly rub the "smart powder challenge" on the leather head, which is very important to protect the leather head. If the skin is "shirtless", it is easy to get moldy in a humid and closed environment. When you play chalk, you should always rub "challenges" to try to prevent the damage to the leather head caused by mistakes in hitting the ball or improper use of force.

In fact, the correct and frequent use of clubs is the best maintenance of love clubs.

Front and back information of the club

There are only two kinds of materials in the front section of snooker club: sleepers and maple. Sleepers have obvious wood grain, but maple doesn't. There are only two main materials in the back section: ebony and rosewood. Because these two kinds of wood are very hard, they can bear the force transmitted back when hitting the ball, and their weight is heavier than ordinary wood, which can give the club a natural weight. In order to make the back section more beautiful, you can also decorate it with different pieces of wood (just for decoration, it won't have much impact on the club itself). Of course, the more decorations, the higher the price.

Club selection skills

First of all, know what you want and determine the scope of your choice.

1, first find a reputable seller to learn about the relevant after-sales service.

2. Determine the price in mind, including the price of accessories, such as rod boxes and extensions.

3. Determine the brand. Because there are many brands with close prices.

4. Determine the basic classification. It's ash or maple, and it's a through rod or an interface rod.

5. Basic parameters. An approximate length (generally 56~58 inches in stock, if there are special requirements, it can be changed in stock or customized directly), weight, club head thickness, etc.

6. Determine your own technical target positioning. Players of different levels have different requirements for clubs. It's a long story Let's start with the average level of golfers.

A. performance

First, hardness.

Hardness can be said to be the most basic index of billiards club, in order to ensure the stability of hitting and reduce the deviation of hitting.

Hit the ball hard, see if the rod vibrates, and determine the hardness of the rod by feeling.

Second, resilience.

Toughness and elasticity, it should be said, is a comprehensive index, but in order to make golfers better understand, we barely discuss them separately:

Toughness, in order to ensure the control of the white ball, is mainly controlled in a straight line.

The hardness is mentioned above, but an excellent rod will increase the control difficulty of the white ball, so toughness is needed to increase the contact time between the white ball and the leather head. In other words, an excellent shot will make the white ball fly, and the toughness will give the white ball a buffer and let the leather head "bite" the white ball. So the length of holding the ball is detected by the putter.

Third, flexibility.

Elasticity is to ensure the control of the white ball.

Elasticity generally depends on the number of revolutions of the white ball (the number of revolutions of the white ball is also determined by the "bite" time between the rod and the ball). You can see the number of revolutions of the white ball and the elasticity of the rod by pushing up the rod, pushing down the rod and inserting the rod.

Fourth, the rod force.

Rod force is the most important aspect of rod selection. Rod force is the comprehensive embodiment of the above points and all aspects of cooperation. If the club is strong, it can save effort when playing, reduce the mistakes caused by hard work and increase the walking range of the white ball. Detection mainly depends on the position of the white ball, through some sterns, the range of the white ball, the sudden stop near the middle and long distance straight line but not the straight line, the stability of the middle and long distance high-shot white ball and so on.

Fifth, transfer power.

Permeable force transfer can increase the hitting feel, and it is also an index of interface technology for interface club detection. Generally, you should feel the grip when hitting the ball, whether the transmission of reaction force is clear, and whether the hitting sound is crisp when listening to the ball.

The above points may be difficult for friends in a bad mood. Well, you can hold the top of the pole tail about 30cm with one hand, and pat the pole tail gently with the other hand (one beat is enough, don't pat it around) to see the swing of the head: the smaller the amplitude, the higher the hardness of the pole; The higher the frequency, the better the elasticity of the rod; The longer the time, the better the force transmission of the rod. But the stroke is only a reference for golfers who feel bad, and it is not an absolutely true quality reflection! I felt good when I was in Shoot, but I didn't play well and tried the opposite. Playing the club often can also cause damage to the interface club. Moreover, it is difficult to "shoot" the difference without touching billiards clubs for a long time. Therefore, the most direct and best way is to try a few more times on the table.

Sixth, offset.

The downward plug, coupled with the forward and backward hair of the table itself, will cause the white ball to run off. Although this inevitably needs to be adjusted when aiming at the ball, the offset caused by billiards clubs will be different, so the offset can be used as a reference for selection among clubs with almost the same quality. Generally, you can observe the position of the white ball by hitting the ball with a powerful plug at close range and observing its accuracy, or by hitting the ball with a medium-speed plug at a long distance.

The above six points are all related to the quality of raw leather heads in all aspects. Therefore, it is best to consider the pole selection of the same brand, because different brands of leather heads will have an impact on all aspects. If guests like clubs, they can try again with a different leather head.

B, parameters

If you choose several clubs with similar performance and roughly the same parameters, it depends on the specific parameters of each club. There are many reference indexes, so it is suggested to start with the weight and the size of the club head. These two aspects mainly refer to personal habits.

I. Weight and center of gravity

Weight mainly reflects the balance of the center of gravity. Lying on the stage to transport the pole, the weight of the front and back hands is evenly distributed, which makes me feel comfortable and well balanced. Then according to your personal habits, choose a club that is close to your requirements.

For weight and center of gravity, please refer to "Weight and Center of Gravity of Billiards".

Second, the size of the club head

It is suggested that the club head is about 9.5mm, and the range of 9- 10mm is acceptable.

Third, you can also look at the thickness of the handshake and match your hand shape.

Generally speaking, if the previous points meet the requirements, the parameters are not too far apart.

C, quality

First, straight.

Hold the end of the club, with the head pointing to the dark place, and check the straightness of the club.

It is ok to roll the club on the stage, but you don't need to ask the club to stick to the table. Because the club is made by hand, and the wood will be slightly deformed due to different climatic influences, it should be within the acceptable range. As long as the eye examination is straight, even if there is imperceptible deformation, it will not affect the play.

In addition, the hardness and strength of the pot-bellied billiards club will be improved, so it is also adopted by most brand manufacturers and loved by professional players. But rolling a club with a big belly on the table will cause visual errors, just like the two tips in the middle of the olive core, which will jump when rolling on the plane. This choice is only a personal habit, because the quality of the brand is guaranteed, and the hardness of the straight billiards club can also be guaranteed. When it comes to pot-bellied clubs, we should talk about the taper of the clubs. Because of the taper of the rod, the elasticity and stress of the rod are affected. The pot-bellied pole needs to cooperate with the cultivation of the first half of the front branch in order to give full play to the elasticity and strength of the pole. These can also be selected by various performance testing methods.

Second, metal fittings.

Mainly whether the copper nozzle, interface, tailhole and counterweight are loose or damaged. Mainly when playing ball, listen to whether the club has abnormal sound.

3. Whether ebony and flower arrangement are cracked.

Fourth, whether the shaft is bumpy.
