I'm not a big cue guy so don't make fun of me, but do they make an ivory joint? I've seen ivory in the butt and forearm but the actual joint? I guess I have seen an ivory ring for the joint but what do you mean by flat faced? Wouldn't it chip?
Nothing feels better than a nice crisp feel of an Ivory joint with Ivory ferrules. IMO
I play with a Schon, SS joint and I've never hit with an ivory joint but I do like the Schon.
Yesterday I went to Mark Wilson's place to get a tip put on the Schon and he pulled out a new Advanced Accuracy cue and told me to hit some balls with it. It was 60" and has a G-10 joint pin with phenolic joint collar. I hit with it for a couple minutes and had to give it back to him because I was afraid I would buy it, that's how good it hit.

i can't use a stainless steel joint... too much glare is created.
Don't you ivory guys know that evil people are murdering wonderful elephants and walrus for that stuff? It seems quite selfish not to care about the plight of these wonderful creatures and the environmental degradation associated with the rape of our planet. It takes more than church on Sunday to be a spiritual being. Kindness and understanding are qualities to which all should aspire.
Ivory Rules
I have cues with all three types of ivory joints, flat-faced (capped), piloted, and sleeved. My favorite is the capped joint. Has a lot of feedback. A sleeved joint will hit like the material it is sleeved over, I don't think that is used for anything besides looks. Piloted seems like a little softer hit than capped.

I personally would choose Ivory over Stainless....

What about the ivory that comes from elephants that die of natural causes? Are elephants immortal unless shot by poachers? Is all ivory from "evil" sources? Do you eat meat? Have you ever had a pet, gotten on a horse, or otherwise infringed on an animals natural habitat?
Give me a break you self-important, pompus asshole!
