Cue shots sounding tinny

[fudgeflaps]

I find a tinny sound is often associated with the cue not being tightened enough at the joint- try a few notches more presssure when tightening, see if that helps.

Rather than go all the way to Stockport again I decided to re-tip it myself with a Blue Diamond - it sounds brilliant now. Played with it last night , just letting the tip bed in so haven't tried any power screw or topspin shots yet but the side spin I get on the cue ball now is just how it should be. I am looking forward to really testing it out in the next 2 weeks and if problem re-occurs then i will be returning it to shop.

Thanks to all members for your help and ideas

I knew it was the tip buy one on Mr Wooldridges tips next time and throw your elks and blue diamonds in the bin

if you cue is sounding odd it will be one of three things

1. loose firrule or badly fitted tip
2. broken or loose joint
3. loose weight in butt

spot on craig.

well, tip first, then ferrule, then join or weight. in my humble experience...

the sound from a loose ferrule travels well and can often mislead people to believe the problem is further down.

when my cue had a tinny sound it was because the joint was dirty and it wasnt connecting properly, hope this helps
