14 inch vs 16 inch joint

[singchin]

i'm looking to buy a 3/4 cue what is the difference between 14" and 16"
butt? does one hit better or make balance of cue better? thanks.

hi singchin... the position of the joint shouldn't make much difference, i've even come across a few good hitting centre-jointed cues... but i would suggest you try out the cues before buying, where possible.

cheers.

Like Damienlch says i dont think there is any difference playing wise although i much prefer the look of a cue joined at "16 , just looks nicer .

Also a 16" jointed cue may be slightly heavier due to being more solid ebony involved ??
(Quote from Craftsmans site "This cue is butt jointed at 15.5" making the cue come out a little heavier than normal")
