did you see the video? yes its a nice hitter, though the shaft aint picture perfect. its a player at 58.25/9/28/17bp/17.3oz

i know its hard to judge how a piece of wood will play but that shaft looks perfect

not that much, a bit of feel maybe. unless your adding length, weight or taking a lot of meat out of the cue.. its really to get to know the hit before the finishing process

Yeah I just wondered as regards the splicing. Looking at say ebony, the wood chart says 50% heavier than ash.

Sounds like a good idea though. I'll bet you can't wait to get to the table with all those cues. I guess that's the high's and low's when you get one that hit's like a dog but looks good or vica versa.

sry overlooked your posts,
well i like to hit a fews balls after iv weighted them so as to build a picture in my mind about the cue and how it plays in relation to its specs. then i'd work into the cue to help it play to its optimum

.

Does each cue change much when you add the splices? As regards playability that is?

[j6uk]

What are you looking to achieve by taking them on the table at this stage without splicing etc?

to see if they hit well before investing more time and money

balance point ?

noise and feel+ as many say its all in the shaft

Love the look of the rosewood.

You look like you're flying with cue making, must be a good feeling...........well done mate.

started to splice a few and preparing one of my first cues to be lengthened

working on ferrule sizes, depths and walls

I wonder if there's a range of standard shots and test you could do and record against each ferrule height and wall thickness to look at the variances........would be interesting to see how they differ.

See how easy I found lots of work for someone else, I have a gift for it.................don't expect the response to be good!

Nice work though.

How much does it change after splicing? Just never seen anyone hit them at this stage.

Not saying it's not standard to do this but interested to know differences in the hit as you add splices and weights etc
