For 1X2 Carriers, do you break with your playing cue?

In all reality...the only time you really need to worry about ivory ferrules is if the cue has gotten cold...like out in your car. If you walk in the door and start breaking with it immediately, you could crack a ferrule...but I don't think you get that kinda cold in SoCal..so you should me a-okay.

If your ivory ferrules have a fiber pad between the tip and ferrule...you'll be okay letting the tip get a little bit shorter, as the fiber pad is there to help protect the ivory ferrules.

In the grand scheme of things, replacing a tip is a relatively small expense when compared to replacing a cracked ivory ferrule. Just sayin'...

Rick Chudy told me the same thing, that an ivory ferrule (assuming it is properly made) will only crack due to temperature extremes. I never leave my cue in the car, even for a few minutes, so the cue always stays at room temperature.

Ya seems like the consensus is to not break with it during 9 ball or 8 ball... I definetely don't use a soft break and have no interest in cracking a ferrule..

Those of you with 2 shafts on your gamer, do you game both or have 1 unplayed and just swap out tips on the gamer? I'm currently looking for someone in Los Angeles or Pasadena to put a new tip on one shaft and to also clean it up a bit (blueing)...

Case teaser.....I have figured out a way to make a 2x2 in the same tube that normally houses a 1x2. So for those of you who do want to carry a 1x2 size but have two cues - call me.
