JP Unique cue

[mikeyd100]

It would, it would.


I think one of the things that it would show, is how one man's perfect cue ( for blindfolded feel )

would be different from the next man's perfect cue.

It's been repeated in forum after forum, that each individual will like different cues as their perfect "one".

By the time you factor together, the differences in human physical build,

the differences in what each person thinks will feel good,

and the fact that even the best in the world cannot make two cues feel the exact same

using the same specs of cue,

Why would you expect anything else.

I'm with you all the way on that, great comment.
Different person, different feel of the same bit of wood.

Yes I'm fairly new to this site and I've read many many times of how peoples views differ on the same cue.

I could definitely tell you the difference between all of my cues built to the same spec... Me and my mate did the test.

I knew which cue was which by the feel of the cue in my hand and by the hit...

I've said this many times and I can tell the difference between all my cues blindfolded. I could tell certain cues I've sold if I came across em twenty years later. Folk like Trevs1 have said this is nonsense! That's ok, maybe those with agricultural hands can simply buy a Thai lump hammer from the skool wood jointing class and the rest of us can source fine cues. If you can't tell the difference, then just cancel that TW, TP, MW, Parris, CJ order, any old Thai cue will do for you by Trevs own admission on feel, the rest is wasted expenditure! The difference between a rush kiln (that's most cues these days even most bespoke cues) and an air angle is like the difference between maple and ash, HUGE!

Haha! Every time a JP thread crops up it always takes on a more beastly, argumentative character. Nothing turns the pages like JP. Hats off to you bear, you're the man!

Oak, hahaha! The only oak should be on a CC Sherwood. Great Cue, especially the older ones made from air angel. Yep, a mate has one, what a hit that has, to die for, so dynamic. The shaft looks and feels different on the current generation. He won't sell it at any price unfortunately.

When i say I cannot tell the difference, i meant that i cannot tell the difference if a one piece cue is a full shaft or jointed just by hitting balls with it.

Telling the difference between cues, i think most people can describe the hit.

if blind-folded, and testing our OWN cues, i think most people can as well.

But, if blind-folded and handed another cue that i never played with before, i admit, i will struggle to tell if the cue is a 3/4, one piece, handmade, machine spliced, etc. I think this is because there too many variables to a cue.

Just my honest opinion.

Fair play. Personally, I know the feel of a Thai jointed cue compared to a true one-piece.

I'll put it this way. A fella buys a one-piece to maximise feel, it's not for ease of carriage or anything else. If the cue is jointed internally, why bother with a one-piece, may as well buy a two-piece cue?

How can you say you can feel the difference when the other day you were asking if phoenix cues were made in this way. Surely you would have been able to feel the difference?????

I understand where you are coming from. I have the same question myself.

No you don't

[pottr]

I mean, I could tell the difference between by 5/6 cues I had and which was which...

Only because I'd played with them before... Regardless of their perceived build quality

[EZ_4_U_OK]

No you don't

Agreed, it's a lot harder to tell the difference between a new thai 1 piece and a thai 3/4 cue nowadays, unless the joint clonks when hitting the cue ball. Simply because they both have either a 2-3 ounce 3/4 joint or lead weight stuck 16-18" up the shaft.

What, you mean the JPU, Powerglide Purist and Phoenix sitting right here. OH YES I DO!
