Who uses this joints?

[ChatLag]

You are a bad man! What are the specs?

If you leave me your email address I can send you specs and pictures tomorrow. I have the cue in the office...

[ADR147]

craftsman join aint it?

that would be my guess

[LavaChild]

Does seem very similar to (If not the same as) the joint on my Mastercraft

[khizzy]

looks like mastercue to me

[RGCirencester]

I looked up mastercue i believe that joint is only used for the extensions not the main joint.

[khizzy]

well to be frank ive seen this kind of joint on cues made by a wide range of cuemaker,infact a local cuemaker here makes cues with the same kind of joint.

I've also seen this joint on a Tony Ions cue, too. Tony, of course, being Tony, claims that it's "his" joint!

[RGCirencester]

Thats what i said its a very common joint seen from craftsman to cheap chinese cues. The quality would suggest craftsman though

How do you recognise the quality from that 1 photo, Rob? Seriously, I don't know how you can see that.

[RGCirencester]

I meant its not a cheap crappy chinese thing, from appearance anyways, if it is its a darn good one!
and chatlag said it was quite nice originally i believe and i am blindly following his opinion

Oh yeh and i'm a genius

[KeithinFrance]

Just when I think you know what you're talking about ... I'm only going to ask you about computers and such from now on!!

Were you talking about the quality of the joint or the cue, here?

[RGCirencester]

hahaha ok i havent seen it but ive never seen a chinese thing with cocobolo maybe butt before. And chatlag likes it... chatlags opinion ftw (haha sad interent speak will confound you)
Edit: The cue or more specifically the splicing and wood. The joint is exactly the same as the one on my chinese thing. Adding in Chatlags opinion on it from the original post.

[KeithinFrance]

So, in fact, you know nothing at all apart from what chatlag said, the photo and the fact that it's a cocobolo butt; which is to say what everyone knows!! Cheat!

By the way, what is ftw? I don't know interent speak, what is it?

[ChatLag]

That is what ftw means:

In 2008, the most common meaning of "FTW" is "for the win", an Internet expression of enthusiasiam.

While there were nastier meanings in previous years, FTW today commonly stands for "For the Win". It is an expression of enthusiasm. "FTW" is the same as saying "this is the best" or "this item will make a big difference, I recommend using it". Examples would include: "anti-lock braking, ftw!", "spellchecker, ftw!", and "low-carb diets, ftw!"

Older meanings of FTW

Years ago, "FTW" used to have a very negative meaning: "f**k the world". This was a term commonly used by social rebels, anarchists and anti-authoritarian types to express frustration with modern society. Gratefully, this antisocial meaning has dramatically faded in use in the 21st century, and people largely use "for the win" as the modern meaning for this acronym now.

This FTW expression, like many other Internet expressions, is part of online conversation culture.
