A few questions on break cues.
I've scoured the internet looking for information on break cue construction and found that most people say all is needed is a stiff thick taper and a hard tip. I was wondering what the effects of adding a phenolic dowel, let's say a 6" dowel, to the tip end of the shaft would do for a break cue. Would this add more stiffness which in turn add more power to the break?
I see that many break cues come with a one piece tip and ferrule made of G10 or phenolic. Is it possible to have a whole shaft made of G10 or phenolic?
Thanks in advance for any information provided.
