Does the miscue limit depend on the shafts squirt?
See: HSV B.47 – effect of shaft endmass and squirt on miscue limit. It appears that a cue with more endmass (a lot more in the video) allows greater tip offset. With more tip offset, you would expect to get more Enlgish. You would also expect to get more squirt than you would get even with the same endmass. If you watch all of the shots in the video, you will see that the cue with the added endmass had much more squirt than the cue without the added endmass, much more than can be explained by a small difference in tip offset. Also, with more squirt comes less English (for a given tip offset), because the effective offset is less. If you look at the stripe on the ball in the super-slow-motion clips, you will see that the CB actually has slightly more English (spin per distance) with the low-squirt cue (due to a larger “effective tip offset”), even though the “actual tip offset” is slightly greater with the added-endmass cue!
