It is my understanding (?) that a steel jointed cue produces a harder feeling hit than other type joint materials. Do you agree? Are there cuemakers who use other joint materials besides stainless who also say their cues hit as hard or nearly as hard as a steel joint? If so can you name a few for consideration? My preference is the feel of a hard hitting cue.

Joint type
Thanks for your comments. To better explain, perhaps, what I am looking to find is a cue with a non stainless joint that, if possible, hits (resonates) as closely as possible to what a stainless joint does. I confess I am a cue addict and have bought several of both type joints. Maybe a better question is what material(s) would you suggest using to produce the "hit" of stainless? Knowing that it will not effect my playing ability. As "Popeye" said "I yam what I yam", lol.

Most Schulers hit pretty firm. Have you tried harder tips or lighter weight cues?
