Custom cue (>$500, <$1k), has a bit of an unpleasant sound that seemingly is generated from somewhere around the middle of the wrap, to maybe 4-5 inches above where the top of the wrap ends (bottom of forearm?). I removed the weight bolt this morning and that is not the culprit unfortunately..

Interestingly the sound is not present around the entirety of that area, maybe only one half of the entire "circle".

From what I can tell it doesn't occur when shooting but if I am waiting for my shot and tap the cue on the ground, or go to place the cue down, I will hear it fairly often.

I am attaching an audio file so you can listen. Note, from :17-:20 I am tapping a region of the cue that is unaffected and sounds normal (or as my other two, cheaper cues, do) Audio file here

Am I being a baby (probably lol)? Is this something that's even fixable? Is this a potential structural issue or just a bad resonance? I already had a problem with this cue from the manufacturer with a design element and had to send it back, so I am really loathing the whole situation. Thinking of just waiting for the next expo in PA and bringing it to their attention then.

Thanks.
