"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:
“The spiritual kinship between Lincoln and Whitman was founded upon their Americanism, their essential Westernism. Whitman had grown up without much formal education; Lincoln had scarcely any education. One had become the notable poet of the day; one the orator of the Gettsyburg Address. It was inevitable that Whitman as a poet should turn with a feeling of kinship to Lincoln, and even without any association or contact feel that Lincoln was his.”
—Edgar Lee Masters (1869–1950)
“I dont think there is anything on earth more wonderful than those wistful incomplete friendships one makes now and then in an hour’s talk. You never see the people again, but the lingering sense of their presence in the world is like the glow of an unseen city at night—makes you feel the teemingness of it all.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“How to attain sufficient clarity of thought to meet the terrifying issues now facing us, before it is too late, is ... important. Of one thing I feel reasonably sure: we can’t stop to discuss whether the table has or hasn’t legs when the house is burning down over our heads. Nor do the classics per se seem to furnish the kind of education which fits people to cope with a fast-changing civilization.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
