steve davis splice design

[Brooksy147]

Hi guys does anyone have some pictures of cues with the steve davis style joint through the splices just curious as you don't see many around

I had a chunky jointed version once, it was an Exquisite cue

That's how my MW rocket cue is jointed as well, I haven't got any photos at the minute & just for the record I had mine well before SD had his, so he copied it from me!!!................

Would drive me absolutely crazy when after awhile the splices would not line up.

They don't line up on JRC's pic already.. it's already offending my OCD.

Best to stick to 1 piece cues then

They do line up, what you are seeing is the interruption of the taper because of the thick joint

They do line up initially, but the nature of the joint and all the screwing and un-screwing together over time can on a lot of occasions lead to the joint moving/rotating slightly. As a result the splices do not match up either side of the joint. This happens on all jointed cues, but it is unnoticeable on the traditional 3/4 split (splices above the joint).

This being a prime example of the joint rotating over time leading to uneven splices:

Yep i had my connoisseur replica jointed through the splices, doesn't line up perfectly now but i think it gives the cue character
