Does a (very slight) concave under the ferrule matter ? in other words does it affect the playing of the cue in any way ??????

Slight concave under ferrule
Seen the "hourglass" wear below the ferrule many times.
Usually it is because the owner when cleaning the cue clamps around the ferrule end of the shaft and then wipes down. I have seen people do this with sandpaper (to clean before every frame?!?!) and they wonder why the wood wears down.
I sent that cue to AT for a new ferrule. Yes the length was reduced slightly but the owner was not bothered by that. He now does not clean his cue the way he didLast edited by DeanH; 4 February 2017, 12:24 PM.Up the TSF! :snooker:

Nowadays I tend to wipe my cue from butt to tip and never clamping tightlyUp the TSF! :snooker:

The two main reasons I've seen this happen have already been said on this tread..
Sometimes it's people chalking badly or a friend of mine does the other one...
Chalks his cue so much that his fingers are blue Street a few games and looks like I will have to put another ferrule on his cue...For that one you've always wanted...
