Ergonomic Cue design

[ChatLag]

And this is true as well, look at me, I like ONE style of cue: just ebony black butt, no splice. As traditional as it could be

It is the same for me: Quality as high as can be and as traditional as can be.

My favorite cue is an old maple/ebony with simple single splice.

I can see im going to have to hash up a old 2 piece to try this idea out.

That's what I was trying to say: If you're THAT bad, you could certainly violate any type of cue butt design to scratch the clouth with, or hammer balls around

BTW: Grüsse nach Benztown! Mir gefiel besonders die Meistersaison.

But maybe with another butt things would be completely different and i would be the German answer to Ronnie...
To buy a cue would be easier than to work hard on the game.

Krypton, danke und Grüße in die Schweiz. Wohin denn dort?

Nach Winterthur bitteschön


BTW, my cue, as you could easily guess: One piece, maple shaft, black ebony butt, no additional splices.

Pool cue makers have made cues with octagonal butts; I've never tried one but it has a certain popularity in the US pool playing fraternity. Longoni made one and a Spanish maker as well, but off the top of my head I can't remember their name. If you type "octagonal pool cue butt" in google you'll find photos of a Longoni one and I'll try and dig up the Spanish one if I can.

Hope this helps.

A similar thing has been going on in the realm of fly fishing rods (I'm a keen angler), perhaps you could adapt this idea
