I've searched the forum and have seen a few threads about differences between types of joints. Stainless, ivory, brass, flat faced, etc.
Since I decided to have a Rambow tribute made I'm thinking I would go with his original type of joint. I can see they were mostly brass from what I have found. Question is was the whole thing brass including the pin or just the joint piece? Forgive if I am using the incorrect terminology to describe some things. I'm not new to billiards but new to getting cues made by a builder so I want to be specific when I order and also become more knowledgeable in general about cue construction.
What was his traditional type of joint in most of his cues? I have hit with a brass joint before and felt it not so different from a stainless joint which is on all my other cues. So I don't think it would make such a difference in play for me. I also read that brass joints are heavier but if the builder takes that into account they won't need to balance the cue in the back end as much.
Anyway if anyone can shed some light on the name or type of brass joints Rambow used mostly that would be great.
Thanks
