  • Very nice. Wenge was always one of my favourite butt woods, before my snakewood obsession started.

    Looks just like my old Jason Owen cue. First cue I had custom made to my specs / woods.

      I expect the answer to be no but I wonder if it truly makes a firmer hit or no difference at all?

        well in regards to the wenge wood, there could be something in it if you go by grain pattern. like i use straight grain and billabongs jo cue has the waves of the arrows, could be something there.
        but wenge is roughly the same weight as ash, and with regards to the cue iv just put together i wanted to keep the weight forwards at 18bp and light at around 17oz, though the shaft is mid-heavy i think the cue will play better this way.

          Sorry mate. I've just re-read my question and I certainly didn't write what I was thinking.

          I was referring tp the chevrons going the opposite way to normal just above the butt fingers.

          I wondered if the way the arrows point dictates the flow of the wood? Does it make a difference to how the cue plays (stiff or not) with the direction of the arrows so you could change them to alter how you want the cue to play.

          Now I'm sure it makes no difference but interested in the answer.

          • if i would of cut the shaft above when it was conceived 40 odd years ago, i would of cut it the other way around. but still the grain is broad and straight regardless. as far as the play/stiffness/vibe of the cue, i dont think you can change the innate characteristics of the wood no matter how you cut it

              It was just a thought. I guess I don't generally worry too much about the arrows myself, just crossed my mind about the flow of the grain and feel.

                for me its about the hit, vibe, consistency, and the finish

                              • Looks very nice to me, a little bit different but bland cues are for bland people
