I was speaking with someone the other day and they mentioned that different joints will make a cue hit softer or stiffer depending on the type of joint.
That is assuming you have the same shaft, same weight, taper, tip, etc... all the same but the joint was the only difference.
Is this true?
Assuming this is true, is there some sort of chart to go by just like the Mueller index for tips that list super stiff down to solid?
Or it a simple wood to wood contact like a 3/8 x 10 or radial would feel similar as compared to a SS joint like the 5/16 14?
I also see some cue makers have phenolic jackets. Why is that done?
I looked through some of the prior threads and really could not find much on the subject.
If anyone can direct me so I can get more information would be much appreciated.
Thank you
