ferrule length

[rhncue]

1/2 " length ferrule seems to be a lot more common.
Some of the low deflection shafts use the short ferrules.

Great thread


What do you think about the short 1/2" Ferrules?

I have found that by making the ferrules half as long that I get twice as many ferrules to the foot of material.

I checked and the math proves this point............

LOL

I'm reading this old post that has bin brought up, and Kc has my attention with his great info, and Dick comes along and has me cracking up. Good one Dick...........Frank

I have found that I can get REALLY a lot of ferrules per foot by not using one.:smile:

Also, my install time has improved. I can leave one off in no time!

Thinner walled ferrules will give a thicker tenon and a little more gluing surface. That's one advantage of slip on ferrules. They also have fewer stress risers.

Threaded ferrules have more gluing surface I think. They also have less stress on the glue b/c they have mechanical bond.

less deflection

Would the 1/2" Ferrule, with larger tenon diameter, produce lower deflection
on the cue ball?

or standard 1/4" tenon diameter?

Threaded ferrule (better construction) two bonds (glue + threads)


Looking for a ferrule construction that lowers the deflection.


Any input?
