Cue Construction Survey: Points vs. no points

[Kid Dynomite]

Much debate over this topic. Some say its all decoration, some say it helps the balance, some say the depths of points is affecting the vibration or hit. Some say no points makes the butt more evenly balanced, some say it helps obtain that beloved forward balance??? All thoughts are welcomed??

Ok no more!! I just see these cue questions on best maker and never on best construction techinque or materials.

I can feel the difference, like night and day, between long and short points.

No, really, I can. I think so, anyway. Maybe not, let me get back to you.

Point & Inlayed do not... IMO Effect or make Hit BETTER..

Pretty Wood Cues, are also wonderful .

i dont know if it would make a difference in hit or not, but 2 pieces of wood put together should be stronger and less prone to warpage than just one piece (all else being equal) so i think it would be safe to say that a cue with points>a cue with no points.
