Annoying resonant rattle/buzz coming from wrap area - please advise

It's a warranty issue, I wouldn't wait for an expo to inform the maker. @ratcues is dead on and has the experience way beyond what his posts on the matter even indicate.

The cue is under warranty through the maker so I suppose it is up to their judgment if it demands a tweaking. If a $100 Viking doesn't have the issue, I don't see why a new $500 custom should.

Now my opinion, and I am no cue maker. We don't know the cue. We have no idea what the construction is. Yes, it is most likely an A joint issue, but we don't even know if the cue has an A joint. The only construction point we know is that it has a wrap.

You eliminated the weight bolt and shaft, so it's anything else. Regardless of the price of the cue or who made it, you said it is under warranty, so nobody here can really help with anything in any practical way except to say to immediately inform the maker and follow their instructions to get repair or replacement under warranty.

A buzz can be a minor annoyance with no practical impact on the function of the cue, or it could break in half tomorrow. There is no way to know for sure here.

One Pocket Resources

Reggie comes in a good bit still but usually not in the evenings. Problem is, most of the people Im matching up with are at Top Hat. I'm already spotting some of them simply because I can out play and position them, but they are out moving me. Last thing I need is them watching me get "lessons" and ask for even more weight.
Fine. Buy my diamond and have your lessons at home?

True Cue

Then came the aluminum tennis racquet.....which Jimmy Conners made famous...now forgotten along with it's cousins the aluminum pool cue and baseball bat (which I believe still has some life in it). Raw aluminum must have been very cheap at the time, not so today....a 200ft roll of kitchen aluminum foil is near $15. RIP.

O'Min Cues Review

I just received my O'Min cue on Friday, I think maybe the same as the OP's cue, and WOW! I am properly impressed! The weight (18.3oz) & balance are right where I like them, I had the shaft turned down to 12.5mm and a Techno Dud tip installed. This thing is delightful to shoot with and might very well steal a lot of table time from my fancier cues! $400 very well spent, to my mind. My thanks to gmoney1 for posting his review and helping push me in this direction.
What is your review of the techno dud tip?
