Hi all, it seems that when people order custom cues sometimes they ask the cuemaker to pick the blank with certain number of "growth rings" (ex. 16+, 20+); why is it that the more gr's the better the quality of a shaft? And how do you count the gr's on a shaft? Would be great if you can include a picture to show what it looks like. Thank you!

ive heard of this but didnt kno u can ask for it , i have a 3 year old viking with a quite a bit rings and its solid and its a bit dark shade . So i just got a new viking well 2 month old and its very few rings and its not as stiff and wood seems whiter and more flex to it , i wish i knew u could ask for aged wood...

At a cost, maybe. But then from my understanding it's not supposed to be THE criteria for a good shaft.
Anybody got a picture of how growth rings should look like on a finished shaft?
