Will a small crack in one of the points in an older custom cue effect the playability of the cue in any way if the shafts are straight? Thanks.

This is impossible to answer. It's it full splice or short? How did the point crack?
In short, a lot more information and photos are needed. Or just play with the damn thing and determine if it is affected (or if you are...).

In the words of Roger Miller's 'Big Harlan Taylor',
'Oh, the ways of the world and the wants of a woman
If I figured them all out it would take many years'
It's a cue that is for sell, that's why I am asking. I don't know if it's a full splice or short, but the points are ebony. I don't know how the point cracked. Has ebony been known to crack over time? thanks
Pictures aren't really needed.
Whether it's a full splice or short splice, it could produce a buzz.
Effecting playability?
Well that depends on how much you hear it when you play.

Just because they have a smart phone, it doesn’t make them smart
That is one example that I found. Thanks
That would discourage me from buying it. Without that inlay, it could be worked on.

We say something close to that about people responding in this section.
Just because they say they build Cues.
Doesn't mean they do.
NO PICTURES!

Love it
That's a great looking stick that's in the making. Is that burl?
Probably just the point itself, but it can certainly create a buzz and it leaves the open to the elements. If the cue is nice and straight it will make repairing it easier, but it's still gonna be an expensive repair.

Thank you, sorry for the hijack. The cue is wenge forearm and butt sleeve, padauk points and curly maple handle.
