James Butters one piece maple cue - SOLD

[DeanH]

or you know a man who does

is it quite chunky in the sections then?

[itsnoteasy]

well you can have a stiffy that plays dead and one thats got more going on on the moment of the strike. the same with a cue thats got more give, there are some that really play nice and move the white around with ease, and others that take you to wobble city.
a good cue is a good cue, its all about the wood and the finish

Thanks J6 , a good player once had a wee hit with my cue and said it was quite lively, To be honest I didn't know what to think as I thought with it being a stiff cue it couldn't be , just shows how much more a decent player knows.

not sure if i get this cuecracker, where would these chunky sections be?

[DeanH]

is the taper very thick, i.e. in cross-sections down the shaft?

I was just wondering if Trumps was slightly thicker in taper than would be considered "the norm"?
cheers

[j6uk]

not particularly, maybe more traditional with the straightness of the taper, and i think hes on a 9.6/7 but you'd know better than me cuecracker

[DeanH]

thanks for that
some have said that a straight taper (to them) feels "chunky"

JT ferrule - nope, no idea, not much detail of Trump's specs, I'll note this down for now as possible.
cheers

[j6uk]

with a 10-10.5mm ferrule the shaft can feel thicker, but usually if someone says a cue feels chunky then that cue is likely not to have been tapered and finished properly

[DeanH]

spot on
two of my pool team mates have said their cues felt chunky and both have ... modern Peradon cues

anyway, one went off to Andy Travis and is much better now
