I understand the difference btwn a full splice & short splice......but how do you know if a cue was spliced vs. the points just being inlaid? For example, were all of Tim Scruggs / Bill McDaniel's cues spliced? I assume some of the mass produced (i.e. McDermott) are inlaid points vs. spliced?
I've had this cue (butt only) in my basement for about 15 years....honestly don't even remember where I picked it up. Can anybody identify the maker, and let me know of their reputation?

Back in 1990 I bought a Helmstetter pool cue from Carl Conlon. He was playing 3-cushion at University of Michigan; and selling cues on the side. He had a nice Helmstetter line of pool cues with wooden screw shafts. Long story, but I bought one (loved it) let a friend borrow the cue ...
