CONSIDERING REVO-
WHAT BEST HITTING , FEEL ,
FOR THE NEW SHAFT-UNILOCK, STEEL OR RADIAL ??????????????
Thank you
The Uni-Loc Revo has a brass insert set in a phenolic collar.
The Radial Revo is a threaded phenolic collar.
The pin simply pulls the two (shaft collar/butt joint) together making the contact surfaces mate.
I have played with the Revo Radial on steel joints and with Phenolic joints...
I have also played with the Uni-Loc on Steel and Phenolic joints.
I have made wood adapters to join different pins to Revo shafts, so Revo phenolic to wood...
I have changed the joining threads to mount to Meucci cues, Schon cues, Runde cues, custom 3/8x10 pin cues, G-10 pin cues.
I have even converted a reverse thread installing the threaded pin in the shaft for the female joint Robinson cues...
If there was an ability to actually blind test, I seriously doubt one could feel / detect a difference...
The theory of Wood to Wood feel (some of the well established players talk about on customs and/or sneakies) is not in the cards as the Revo does not have wood.
As long as the mating surfaces are correctly mated...
It just doesn't matter.
However, the Revo radial has been a ghost with very limited stock.
