Tinging noise and feeling

[Jgra]

Just got a brand new gbl cue sent through from green baize today 3/4 maple and when I play shots with some pace mostly screws or run throughs there is a tingy noise coming from what I think is the tip area but not sure if it's the ferrule or what ? It's a bit of a pain as the cue feels great

I thought all 3/4 cues sound tinny when you use them

It's only when I play a hard shot there's a vibration coming from the tip it's not a normal feeling/sound

Tinging noise and feeling

could be a loose ferrule or air under the tip

the joint can make noise and that is usually because of dirt on the faces of the joint, so it doesn't tighten correctly. but being a new cue I doubt this is the cause.

Tinging noise and feeling

also it could just be a really hard tip?
when I first got my 1pc it sounded awful tinny and it had a rock hard like-rock tip on it. once I changed the tip, the ting sound went away

All the cues that I purchased from Thailand had loose ferrules that I had to re-glue. I attributed it to the wood shrinking due to a drier climate here. One thing that surprised me was that all ferrules were threaded, but the tenon was not.

yep, money for me would be on rock hard tip.

Swap the tip and see if the ting goes away.

I've always though hard tips sound fine on hard shots, its the soft shots that sound tingy.

Wood doesn't make a tinging noise so it's something loose, either tip, ferrule, joint or weight in the butt, doesn't matter if it's a new cue, these things happen.
If you check everything that's visual and it's all tight, then its the weight, sure as eggs is eggs.
Mate of mine had the same problem with a GBL cue, a one piece that when checked with a metal detector was found to have two weights in the butt, one at the 3/4 mark and one about four inches from the end of the butt; one of these was loose, coudn't determine which so he sent it back, do the same.

Hi guys thanks for the replys I've had my tip changed and all is now well with the cue ! Must have had some air trapped under the old one ����

Just what I would have said.
