shortening the ferrule wont give u a firmer hit. just put on a hard tip.

anyone using diamondback non layered tips.my friend gave me one at a tournament and i thought it was a joke.it looked like a triangle that was dyed black till i finally tried it.to my suprise it plays great.

i agree with joey.cuemaking is machinist work first and foremost.buy chris hightowers book.i would also recommend his deluxe lathe.it is a basic lathe and very user friendly especially if you are not familiar with a metal lathe. if you cant do school,find a machinist to teach you the basics asap.

i would say buy from me cause i live in nj lol. honestly, there should not be a problem as long as you treat your cue the way you should, it should be fine.the humidity in the shop where the cue was made should be about 50 % from the time the wood entered the shop until completion.
