5 pointer made for me by Dan Janes at the Joss shop.
you can get sharp points with CNC inlays. I don't get why they the big American brands use cheap machines that can't get the job done.I see what you are saying but I think the veneered ones are sharp. The main point can look a little rounded but they avoid the look you get with the rounded veneer ones you see on some cnc points. The construction of the cue is not old school splice, which we can argue about. But building them on a core I think leads to a good, solid feeling cue. I’m not dogging on full splice or short splice cues, I like them. Just saying some of the new Joss cues look good to me and I often like classic looking cues.
Maybe wraps, pins, joints, finish and weight bolts have negative affect on cues. Just get a long stick and put a leather tip on it and you should be godd.My best Pool playing friend and I were debating weather Points, Inlays, Veneers, ringwork, and other embellishments effect the hit of a Cue.
He says his next custom Cue will be a plane jane with no nothing to effect hit of a cue.
I think he is gone off the deep end as his best hitting cue has 8 points in the Forearm, and another 8 points in the Butt, and it is his best playing cue.
I do not think embellishments effect a cue hit, but it does make em pretty.![]()
I find Taom rubbish.
It doesn't apply properly onto my break cue.
Exactly.
It's not "performance enhancing" in any truly tangible way. That being said it's still way worth it. And I'd bet most people that don't play 5 days a week can get a solid year out of ONE cube of pagulayan. It cost me something like 10-15 cents a session, as expenses go, that's a nothing burger.
