all i can say is over the last few years, none of my cues with 'secret' joints, from airlock through airtwist and now the new F1 have suffered the damage you are concerned about.
the walls are not that thin anyway, and particularly now with the added features of F1 plus very tight tolerance with fitting, they are absolutely solid, so i do not consider it to be an issue.
keep the faith...
Don't worry, I'm a believer I think the joint will perform really well.
especially when a grain filler is used to highlight the grain.
Ebony/Rosewood dust highlights the grain, filler fills it. The grain isn't overly visible on a lot of ash until it has the dust rubbed in and then filled. (It is still visible, but doesn't stand out anywhere near what it is like on a finished cue).
If you want to play the pink, but you're hampered by the red, you could always try to play the brown!
I like the cue shaft on the right Cueman which seems to have no Ash grain filler.
One of the reasons I prefer maple cues is because of the grain distraction, especially when a grain filler is used to highlight the grain.
It is filled although not with a dark grain filler. Seems like a very light coloured filler has been used by Craftsman on this cue, though the lighting effect also makes it look a bit lighter than it really is. The mastercraft is very dark though but beautiful at the same time. Both appear a bit lighter than they really are.
I would like to say these are mine, but i havn't won the lottery so their not
Belong to Andrew Watt, must be the shiniest cues iv'e ever seen, enjoy
Nice colleciton there. Lovely work from Trevor. Thanks for sharing.
The second cue from right with what appears to be Goncalo Alves has much higher ebony splices than the rest of the cues.

Oh, is that what it is? Stunning. A warm orange glow which reminds me of the setting sun.
When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back. GET MAD!!

I think so, but may be we should ask Mr. White the master cue maker himself.:-)
I love the shaft on this cue, and yeah the colour of the Alves, too.:-)
I have no idea why some people said I have an obsession with snakewood.
Anyway, here is a one piece maple just finished.
Happy New Year to all my friends on TSF.
that snaker wood extension is beautiful
哈哈哈哈哈
