Hello,
I am very new to pool and recently purchased a used custom cue with two shafts. One shaft appears unplayed and measures 13 mm at the ferrule to the taper. It also has a sealer on it from joint collar to ferrule.
The other shaft, the one I have been playing, is sealed at the bottom three inches or so and glides smoothly through my bridge. It measures 13 mm at the ferrule, drops significantly immediately below the ferrule and bottoms out around 12.5 mm for 10 inches before tapering back up through the length of the shaft.
Is this beyond acceptable spec? I am too inexperienced to know if it affects my play as being a novice, I improve a little every outing.
Should this shaft be turned to 12.5 mm all the way to the tip?
Thank you for any advice on this matter.
Ps. The cue maker has since retired.
