The through-club and split-club of Small Head Billiard Cue are two different types of cue designs, which have certain differences in structure, usage scenarios, and portability.
First of all, from a structural point of view, the through-club is a single cue with an integrated shaft and no middle parts. This design makes the through-club transmit force more directly when hitting the ball, and the feedback of hitting the ball is more complete, because there is no energy loss that may be caused by any connecting parts. The split-club is composed of multiple parts, usually divided into two sections, front and back, connected together by threads or other means. The design of the split-club makes the cue more convenient to carry, because the cue can be broken down into smaller parts, which are easy to carry in the cue bag.
In terms of usage scenarios, the through-club is more suitable for scenarios that require precise control of the strength and direction of the shot because of its direct force transmission and complete feedback. For example, in billiard games such as snooker that require fine control, the through-club can help players achieve more accurate shots. Although the split rod has a slightly lower force transmission than the through rod, it is more suitable for scenes where the cue needs to be frequently moved and carried because it is easy to carry, such as outdoor billiards games or when traveling.
In addition, from the perspective of maintenance and care, the through rod is relatively simple in structure and is easier to maintain. However, due to the existence of the connection part of the split rod, it is necessary to regularly check whether the connection is loose or damaged, and perform necessary repairs and maintenance.
In terms of price, the through rod is usually made of higher-grade materials and processes, so the price is relatively high. Although the split rod also uses high-quality materials, it is usually more affordable because of its relatively simple structure.
In general, the through rod and split rod of Small Head Billiard Cue each have their own advantages and disadvantages and applicable scenes. The through rod has direct force transmission and complete feedback, which is suitable for scenes that require precise control of the shot; while the split rod is easy to carry and is suitable for scenes that require frequent movement and carrying of the cue. Players should choose according to their needs and preferences.
