Unless we are talking about one piece butts, the handle section of wood and wrap are mostly about weight and balance. The forearm is the second most important part of the cue as far as hit and feel goes. The shaft is number one. That is why coring has made cues of varying forearm woods play very...
Yes it is. Everything imaginable. McDermott brings only their top quality USA line. Lomax and Rocket cues and others doing great repairs. Wish I was there but just too much on my plate this year. Undecided about next year.
