House cue/Schmelke

[HurdyGurdy]

I recently read a thread wherein someone suggested that using a house cue for a couple of days could help get a guy through a slump. I tried it. It worked. And I fell in love with the house cue. In fact, I bought the house cue and made a PVC tube case for it so I could use it as my main player.

The house cue is an old 21oz Dufferin with a 12mm hard tip and a conical taper (the taper is like a parking cone).

My question:
If I ordered a Schmelke sneaky, 3/8x10 wood to wood joint with a 12mm hard tip and conical shaft, would it hit anything like the Dufferin? Or is the joint a weak spot? Or is it something else that makes old house cues so awesome?

Thanks in advance.

can't answer about the Schmelke but, Have the duff made into a two piece! I've done many and they play the same, better the way I do them!

Who did the conversions. I have a few older duff's I'd like to make into 2 piece with a 1.5 bumper-less butt cap and have the butt tapered a little & refinished.

I think it's cheaper to buy a new custom Schmelke but I like my Duff's. Thank you, Frank

I did! Can't tell ya how many, never kept up with them but never had one over a week when done! The old valley's work great too just a bit FAT for myself
