ferrule

[chuckg]

I have a Lucasi ld shaft with many cracks in the ferrule , Very unsightly but it still plays okay . Cue is out of warranty so will have a local repair man fix it . What would be a good choice of material ? I am not concerned about losing any low deflection properties .

Thanks

I also recommend Tomahawk; all my maple and CF cues now have Tomahawk ferrules. Easy to work with and really polishes real nicely. Great product.

I'm also a player, the hit is our own feel. i Ill check and see what they use, might be something i'd recommend. I know changing ferrule material is like changing tips, the hit changes. No one person can say any one taper, ferrule, or tip is the best. It's all subjective to a person

IMO Juma is a better material than hydex or tomahawk which both melt at extremely lost temps. Like machining temps if not careful.

I'm guessing the OP is a player and not a cue maker and looking for a players perspective on ferrule material , maybe the hit and durability.

We disagree.
