What do I soles put on my pool cue?<\/span><\/span><\/h1>\n<\/header>\n

They are so small that sometimes do not pay attention. <\/span>They spend months without the change without hardly worrying about them, but they are essential. <\/span>The modern pool is <\/span>not understood without the <\/span><\/span>sole<\/span><\/span><\/a> a component billar\u00edstico two centuries of history.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Was Captain <\/span><\/span>Fran\u00e7ois Mingaud<\/span><\/span><\/a> who discovered in 1807 that this small piece of leather placed on the cue tip could be made new beats and many blunders were avoided. <\/span>Since then the market has evolved techniques and materials to offer now a <\/span><\/span>huge variety of soles<\/span><\/span><\/strong> , almost a hundred of them. <\/span>Let ‘s <\/span>see what we should keep in mind when choosing them <\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

By <\/span><\/span>David Mu\u00f1oz<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Pool all the soles have a <\/span><\/span>diameter of between 10 and 14 mm<\/span><\/span><\/strong> , the <\/span>latter being the most common measure. <\/span>The prices range from a <\/span>few cents for a basic soled to 20 euros per unit for the <\/span><\/span>Predator Victory<\/span><\/span><\/a> , the <\/span><\/span>Kamui Clear Black<\/span><\/span><\/a> or <\/span><\/span>Moori<\/span><\/span><\/a> , among others. <\/span>What makes them <\/span>more expensive? <\/span>They are laminated soles, better withstand shocks and offer the player many possibilities when applying effects.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The other great feature of the soles to consider is their <\/span><\/span>hardness<\/span><\/span><\/strong> . <\/span>They can be soft, intermediate and hard, and based on that feeling when pulling changes. <\/span>Generally <\/span><\/span>soft soles<\/span><\/span><\/strong> , like <\/span><\/span>Elk Master<\/span><\/span><\/a> , <\/span><\/span>Tiger<\/span><\/span><\/a> or <\/span><\/span>Kamui Negra<\/span><\/span><\/a> , better retain chalk absorb the impact more and allow greater control over the effects of the white, yet deform faster and require more maintenance. <\/span><\/span>Hard<\/span><\/span><\/strong> , like <\/span><\/span>Moori<\/span><\/span><\/strong> hard or <\/span><\/span>Kamui Black<\/span><\/span><\/strong> hard, however, resist any <\/span>longer the beatings and do not require replacement as often, but absorb less impact and are therefore more prone to gaffes when you play with effects.  <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Why today <\/span><\/span>the best soles are laminated<\/span><\/span><\/strong> ? <\/span>The piece of leather has multiple layers (laminae), one above the other, the sole makes much more consistent and uniform, which means that lasts longer and deforms less.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Until a <\/span>few months ago he was playing with a basic arrow Bear without laminated soleta. <\/span>Skip to use a <\/span><\/span>Predator 314 2<\/span><\/span><\/a> laminate has been a radical change and now I am very satisfied with the sole that comes default on the arrow Predator, the <\/span><\/span>Tiger Everest of 14 mm<\/span><\/span><\/a> , a laminated sole very durable medium hardness.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

They tell billiard<\/a> brands <\/span><\/span>should change the soles every six months<\/span><\/span><\/strong> or so, but we usually do. <\/span>We keep playing with it because it has not been spent and gives us the feeling that it <\/span>still works well, however after a while loses all its qualities. <\/span>We should be more cautious with the sole, because it is not any one component: Where is transmitted, with the help of chalk, taco energy towards the white.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

By the way, my birthday half a year in August. <\/span>We will have to find a replacement soon<\/span><\/span>\"?\"<\/p>\n
