"Feel"
Different materials used for the manufacture of a cue have an effect on the feel of the cue and the response generated when played "feel". Variations in construction materials and manufacturing methods can alter the vibrations generated when playing. Because of this composite cues, with cores made of wood, tend to be used as break cues due to their stiffness and tendency to become damaged.
The rising use of synthetic materials is considered to be a product of sponsorship of professional players. However the weight savings which benefit other sports such as golf and tennis are not applicable to cue sports due to the weight regulations on sticks.

Famous quotes containing the word feel:
“One who shows signs of mental aberration is, inevitably, perhaps, but cruelly, shut off from familiar, thoughtless intercourse, partly excommunicated; his isolation is unwittingly proclaimed to him on every countenance by curiosity, indifference, aversion, or pity, and in so far as he is human enough to need free and equal communication and feel the lack of it, he suffers pain and loss of a kind and degree which others can only faintly imagine, and for the most part ignore.”
—Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)
“As I review my life, I feel I must have missed the point, either then or now.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“I want to feel the surging
Of my sad people’s soul
Hidden by a minstrel-smile.”
—Gwendolyn B. Bennett (1902–1981)
