The interface design of a single splicing cue is one of the key factors that determine its overall stability and has a vital impact on the player's hitting performance.
From the perspective of the connection method, if the interface adopts a tight embedded design, it can greatly enhance stability. This design allows the shaft and the head to be precisely docked, reducing the shaking between the two. For example, some high-end single splicing cue joints have a high-precision mortise and tenon structure, and the tenon of the shaft and the mortise of the head fit tightly together, just like a puzzle. At the moment of hitting the ball, the force can be smoothly transmitted along the shaft to the head, and will not be lost due to the looseness of the interface, ensuring the accuracy of the shot and the effective output of force.
The material selection of the interface also has a significant impact on stability. High-quality metal materials, such as stainless steel or titanium alloy, have high strength and good toughness. When used for interfaces, they can withstand the huge impact force generated when hitting the ball. These metal materials can effectively prevent the interface from deforming during frequent hitting, ensuring that the shaft and the head always remain in the correct relative position. Moreover, the metal interface has good wear resistance and can maintain the accuracy of the interface for a long time, avoiding the problem of loose connection caused by wear.
In addition, the size and tolerance design of the interface are crucial. If the interface size design is unreasonable, excessive tolerance will cause a gap between the shaft and the head after connection, which is easy to cause shaking when hitting the ball. The precise size design can make the friction at the interface moderate, which can not only ensure that the shaft and the head will not be easily separated in normal use, but also be more convenient when disassembly and assembly are required. For example, through precise machining, the tolerance of the interface is controlled within a very small range, so that after the shaft is inserted into the head, a stable and moderate pressure fit is formed between the two, thereby improving the overall stability.
Adding some auxiliary stabilizing design elements to the interface can also improve stability. For example, some tiny protrusions or slots are set inside the interface. These structures can further enhance the connection firmness between the shaft and the head, reduce the looseness of the interface caused by torsional force or lateral force during the hitting process, and enable players to feel the stable and reliable performance of the billiard cue when hitting the ball, and better play their technical level.
