Loving this thread J6, can you pick up a cue ,run your hands over it and make a good guess as to how it will play, by taper, where it starts etc(I have run out of cue terms lol) Would be very useful knowledge to have.

j6 cue stories
A fine method.
I use this technique too...a flex, a tap, and a waggle gives me a good sense of what a cue is likely to do.Last edited by Stupree; 1 January 2015, 06:47 PM.

few pics of some of the ones on the hob
the cue above is very stiff with a real shudder of a vibe
this one above is stiff with a bit more movement nearer the tip, a 10mm deep ferrule and again a good resonance.
though there not spliced yet i'll be taking them out for a run tomorrow and check the feedbackLast edited by j6uk; 4 January 2015, 09:44 AM.

okay so iv put some cues through there paces
we'll go from left to right as we do:
the first cue is my playing cue and, it feel like its more responsive with a delay to rotations, this i think could be something to do with the nice piece of bubinga i used on the back. i felt the density of the wood gave a bit more ping to my club cue
the next two are my first cues that are yet to be spliced. so the next cue along is the second cue from page two on this thread with the wide grain, this cue for me is really nice because of the stiffness with some give towards the end of the shaft, the power and the 10mm deep ferrule felt like it added to the hit. cue three is very stiff and with the shudder of a vibe i'm sure its gonna be a player, liked it among the reds but its not my cup of tea, though i didn't miss much wit it. last cue it a converted ontario pool cue with a 8.5mm, great little cue 56.5" with a lot of power for a 16.5oz
