Minor Update to Hagan - Phenolic Bumper

Nce job. For my personal tastes though I'd shorten the bumper length by half.. Maybe cutting some thin sheet rubber to make a washer to put underneath may also help with the dampening.

Phenolic

I make phenolic bumpers for a lot of my cues. I love the increased sensation and tone. I'm looking for some phenolic in that color. Shoot me a pm if you want to sell some.

The color of new bumper suits to this beautifull cue just perfectly. Well done.

Great job!!

Phenolic bumper

I bought a phenolic bumper some time ago and ended up with one that was way too short and couldn’t use it on my cue. The seller realized later he made a mistake and sent me a longer one at no charge.

In the meantime I took an old rubber bumper and cut it in half, put it in first and then the short phenolic bumper on top and screwed it in. Works and feels better than a solid phenolic set up. Still has a little vibration dampening due to the rubber but the cue hits and plays more like a one piece cue.

I just could not get used to just the solid phenolic bumper but this is a nice compromise.

That looks awesome. Nicely done.

Does doing this just change the tone of the cue? I’m assuming it resonates more? Is it different than having no bumper at all?

Thanks.
