I just read a lot about fullsspice cues here.....

I don't know for sure but, Jerry -R- is perhaps the best IMHO of making these cues.

Here is a pic of a short splice? which is very nice but, it's not a fullspliced cue? >>>

This is a fullsplice like a sneaky pete but, with the veneers >>>

It's a beauty of a cue.....thx, Jerry

The John Davis pictured is indeed a fullsplice blank. It is not a longsplice blank, however. The second splice is done to mainly to reduce weight and is intended for cues with a wrap. There are secondary reasons too but not as important. Ebony prong longsplice blanks are quite heavy without a lighter core. Jerry R has made some incredible looking blanks and is in a class by himself in that regard. Martin

The Davis blank is most definitely a full-splice. It's a short full-splice blank. Of course, it's a blank and not a cue.

I know terminology has got confused over the years, and many don't know the history of the short full-splice that Burton Spain and John Davis pioneered, but this is a full splice, not a short splice.

Yes it is a full splice with a extra splice for weight purposes. A short splice or half splice is inlayed from what I understand. Can anyone confirm this, so I can be sure. THx
 
Try Travis at blackcreek if you want a fullsplice, but he won't do cocobolo, I had jerry build me a cocobolo one, didn't turn out as nice as I would of hope, sold it.
 
Thanks for the reminder that Jerry also makes a full splice - he does a beautiful job of it too.
 
A short splice...

A short splice has a separate forearm from the handle using what is commonly referred to as an A-joint.

A full splice has a forearm joined to the points either with or without veneers as a single piece. It's more a matter of how the points are placed in the forearm than anything.

If they are placed as individual points into v grooves, it's a short splice, if a four pointed lower section is spliced into a forearm section, it is a full splice.

Probably a bit offtopic here, cuz it's not a pool cues, but check some of russian pyramid fullsplice custom sticks

Jerry Rauenzahn Is Great..........

I think Jerry R. is a great cue-maker........I wouldn't have ordered my custom Bushka if I didn't firmly believe that to be absolutely true.

Nonetheless, when it comes to full splice pool cues, in my opinion, every cue-maker takes a back seat position to Joel Hercek.......the best living cue-maker at producing full splice cues........and no disrespect to Jerry Rauenzahn is intended nor implied so please don't infer any.

I happen to like the hell out of every cuemaker mentioned in this thread......but, NOBODY makes a cleaner fullsplice blank than Jon Nemic when it comes to using traditional methods. I'm referring to his blanks from mid 2013 to present.
