I call BS when I hear talk about the cue or tip being to blame. I can pick out a cue from a selection that'll suit the feel/hit that I'm looking for and enough of how I like a tip to respond. I've got a crap 2 pc ash cue that plays good and it's nothing like the cues these guys are using.

Very nice cue
Enjoy it !!!!!

I'd hazard a guess that it's both the type of tooling used and there's probably less chance of the points being uneven when the points aren't as sharp.

Even if I'm completely wrong, it would probably be a good discussion on Ask the Cuemaker.

It's the construction method. Round tipped points are inlaid rather than "spliced" in. One could argue that short splice points are still inlaid simply because the point wood doesn't extend below the A joint. But short splice points are a installed in a way that is exponentially more similar to full splice than the inlaid points like most production cues have. The pockets for either type of construction can be made using CNC, though.

don't often see the one pocket break scratch in snooker. murphy has done both that and a break scratch in the kitchen in this match. still leading, now 10-2.
