"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.
