Does a cue butt have a finite amount of hits in it?

How has this thread gone on this long without degenerating into a discussion of butt cracks?

When I was young, I fell down some stairs. Put a crack in my butt, still has not healed.

Maybe he just misspelled the thread and it should have been "Does a CUTE butt have a finite amount of hits in it".
In that case I'd say no, I'd hit dat cute butt an infinite amount of times.

There, that should completely derail this thing :)

Regular use of an extension will drastically reduce the number of hits the butt will sustain.

cue builders like myself build a self destruct into each cue so after a certain amount of time it will start to deteriorate,so when you notice that you are missing shots that you always made in the past, that is a signal for you to buy yourself another cue.

this is the reason all of us builders are filthy rich !!!!!!!!!!

I completely agree and highly recommend you buy your
"self-destruct" cues from Chuck. He builds the best ones
around. His new ones are "Monsters" and "Hit a Ton" but
when they start to hit 1/2 a ton it's time to re-order.

Good point
I witnessed the certified cycle testing, and the use of an extension reduced the number of hits by 25%, +/- 5% depending on stroke velocity.
In other words, if you are an everyday poolplayer with an average stroke that uses an extension, your butt will crack at 115000 hits.
 
A good cue will last you forever provided you take care of it. You are changing the oil in it every 10,000 hits, aren't you?
 
also depends just how hard of a head your using the butt of the cue on....I would think one swing into Mike Deschaine's head would be the end of my Jacoby :rolleyes:
 
Shhhh. Don't tell my 70 yr old BBC or my 50 yr old Tru Balance.

They still play pretty snazzy. Don't need them getting any smart ideas about retiring.

I have a couple of younger 20 and 30 yr olds too.

I have the one that is much older than I. A couple that are pushing my age and a few that will out live me by a long shot. Not to mention the 6 senior citizens that I haven't converted yet.

If a person has a half decent cue, the last thing that you should concern yourself with is you out living your cue.
