Being someone who has no clue how a cue is built, but a person that has owned over 200 cues many which were made by some of the greatest cue makers that ever lived (Searing, Ernie, Tasc, Mobley, Showman, Stroud.....) I have always liked the hit and feel of the non full splice cues over the 30 or so full splice cues I have owned. I am sure that is probably more a function of how those cues were built but I thought I would just weigh in from a players perspective.
