Greetings builders,
I harvested a solid hitting shaft off a bar cue. Going to send it off to a cue maker to plug, tap and thread it for my 3/8x11 butt. Cue maker is also matching the ringwork.
The shaft was mated to the house cue with a steel rod, so it is going to need to be bored out and replugged.
Question: What material should I have him plug it with?
- phenolic
- nylon
- maple
- purple heart
What are the characteristics of each? How do they effect hit? And do you have other recommendations?
Thanks in advance.
