I'm sorry about the bad link. It was supposed to be a picture from their website stating that the butt is made of Beech.

From the Crical Cues website:

I'm very sorry to hear about your setback on cardiac rehab. That's got to be disheartening. I sure hope your second surgery goes well. So far my cardiac rehab seems to be progressing normally. I'm hoping I'll get the go-ahead to start driving again tomorrow and won't be dependent on my wife to...

I'm very interested in this conversation. I'm 4 weeks out from quadruple bypass surgery. I played one rack a week ago and hung the cue up. Just not ready yet.

I like my Joss 44 butt with Cuetec Cynergy carbon shaft.

I found one at Seyberts. I have this exact bridge head except it's white. https://seyberts.com/products/power-bridge-head-black?variant=41732533485766

It seems the consensus among the comments is that, barring accidents, I probably don't have to worry about changing the cloth for a few more years. That's good news to me. My thanks to all who took the time to respond.

Razed means torn down. Too bad we have so many similar words in the english language.

I always use a small square of old cloth for breaking and jump shots. It clearly helps avoid burn marks in the headstring area, and the impact marks made by jumping.
