Ebony is more unstable than BEM.
if it has no points, coring will make much more stable.
Interesting. I’ll keep that in mind as well.

Maple "pings" and ebony "thumps."
It's a Tasc. There is no wrong choice lol
That is an interesting way to describe it, what do you generally consider a "soft" hit, a "ping" or "thump"?
I think the "thumpers" hit softer.
thump is softer than ping
ebony is more dense than maple which results in muted feedback when comparing the two
BIG NO.Thanks both of you. I didn't understand that the denser wood resulted it more muted feedback. So additionally, thanks Ribdone for the explanation.

They beat me to it.
But that's the gist of it.
Many other factors contribute to a soft or firm hit. I just edited and shortened my reply because I like Joey's answer best.
BIG NO.
Please.
A maple front cored with ppleheart, bloodwood, ipe, olivewood or granadillo will not have a muted feedback. Or even a reduced feedback.
The forearm AND the handle are married and the two's combination determine the feedback.
Think of it as acoustic guitar . Two or more different woods make the body of the guitar.
Each have their own function.
Joey, I mean you have seen some of my questions, so you already know that I am the ebony of pool players, denser than most.
So let me pose this question to you, what about an uncored merry widow, one maple, one ebony, which would generally have the softer hit?
Granted most people core cues these days I assume, so I guess that doesn't really come into play...
No.So, I am confused, nothing new.
Is there any good books on the subject of how woods and different construction methods effects hit?
