Has anyone experienced diminished vision from using a cell phone before and during playing pool?

What makes a good masse cue. I have a custom made ( John Davis/Alex Brick) low deflection player with OB Classic shaft. I will always carry this cue. Also a jump break cue. I am a little afraid to do masse shots with my player. I do not want to carry a three butts. Should I get another shaft...
