The higher you go, left to right, the more even they are. One the left most cue not so much. The three on the right are pretty darn even. And as I said, the two on the right even have the rings in the butt sleeve lined up.

Maybe I will get some close ups of the veneers. Nicely done. No glue lines. No tear out.


It's interesting they are from the same factory but the points vary in length so much. So do the handles. So so the butt sleeves. They seem to have a catalog of a few different build dimensions for those parameters.

For example, the Slyfoxx and Sierra have a longer butt sleeve (matching each other), while the rest are shorter.

After looking at pictures of other examples, and measuring them, the brands are consistent among themselves for these dimensions, so it isn't an accident.

I've had different length points, forearms, and buttsleeves from the same maker, even with equal length butts. I've got two 58 inch Joss cues, one very early, probably late 60s, the other, 1976. The early one has a longer handle and longer points than the 1976 one, very noticeably.

Could be conjecture, but I think it's fair to say that cuemakers of that era ran into issues with wood and such, and adjusted as they went, with the making of a cue.

Single layer tip in between an Elkmaster and Triangle or Lepro?

S
There are multiple listed on the following chart:


Not sure why G2 (layered) tips are not listed on this chart. They are here:

Sounds like the Royal Oak would be a good softer side of medium between the Elkmaster and Triangle, good luck finding an installer that has one to try as I've never seen one of these type of tips in 35+ years of pool:

I've heard Elkmasters and Le Pros can be very inconsistent.
