I have a mali v8 like the cue it plays really well, but the butt has some cracks internally they've yet to affect its play, but I'm worried some day the cue will eventually crack. People will ask me sometimes what that noise is...Can't be good its played that way for over a year and nothing has happened i'm just worried something will...
The shaft has a 13mm taper and is maple. I don't like these carbon fiber shafts I'd rather play with a bar cue honestly...
Idm going with a lower taper, but I like the hit and feel of the cue I just don't get that with the carbon fiber and hollow shafts...
Any recommendations as to who makes cues that play and feel like the old school cues. If the deflection is different I can deal with that I just like to feel the hit. It might sound weird but when I'm in a rhythm playing people will say they heard my cue like a miscue (i assume thats the wood cracking) I just don't even hear it I just feel a nice clean crisp hit and I'm thinking about where the balls going and how I'm playing the next shot.
Where can I find cues like that now? I want to be able to buy a cue where if I want another shaft I can buy one, not like I have to go get this shaft specially made again either that or I'd want to buy two specially made shafts but 5 years down the road I wouldn't have to worry about the cue/shaft never being available again if you know what i mean...
