BLUD ? about facings

[spammusubi]

Blud,

I recently had two predator blanks custom fitted to my cue, when I got the first one back there was a severe warp in it, which the cue maker attributed to the facing. He re did the facing and there is still a visible wary in the cue when rolled. We rolled the shaft and butt separatly and there appeared to be no warp. Considering that I have had to give up my cue twice in the last two weeks.. and now a third time...my question is...what is a facing...and can a blank be made to fit perfectly or should i live with a little warpage...considering the price I paid..i think i should get it back perfect...what is your opinion as a respected cue maker?

Spammusbi,

Sorry for the delay getting back too you. It's been a long and tiring 2 weeks. Re-Packing now to drive to Vegas, Monday.

Facing is when the cue shaft or cue butt is not square to the cue. I think you should roll the cue butt without the shaft and see if the joint pin floats up and down on the end.

Also re-roll the shaft and see if it's wavey, up and down. If none of this is happening, you should maybe send it to me and i'll see if it can be fixed, or at least find out what is wrong.

The pin could be bent ever so slightly and this will show up in the cue. As far as a new blank fitting perfectly, yes, a good cuemaker can and should make this happen. Please feel free to call me if you have a need. 830-232-5991.
Thanks
