Does it affect my gameplay?

[galious]

Hi all, i have a PowerGlide Senator 3/4 cue. Anyone has heard of it? So, my cue makes a tinging sound whenever i use my nails to softly knock on my cue shaft. It does not happen when i do the same to my friend's cue. Is my cue hollow inside and does it affect my game? Thanks alot.

check the ferrule is not loose mate, that's what it sounds like to me

[galious]

hmm, its not. i just checked. It seemed like theres air inside my cue shaft. correct me if im wrong. it shakes abit when i knock it with my finger nails

Does it affect my gameplay?

as has been said usually a ting noise is a loose ferrule.
sometimes could be air under a badly fitted tip.
the knocking rattle could be a loose weight in the butt.

How you tried the ferrule with a pair of pliers? only way to tell sometimes... I'd probably opt with Dean on this one with the weight in the butt or even a loose joint...

hmm, i'll try to check if it is the ferrule with the pliers. I dont think its a loose joint, there is sound even if i did not join the cue together. Its more of a cue shaft problem.
