Ivorine 3, and 4, vs JUMA.

[j2pac]

Does anyone have any experience with these three ferrule materials. I am trying to select something to put on two of my personal cues. With the help of this azb forum, I have located a source for Ivorine 3. I had no idea to this point that they even made an Ivorine 4, and I am hearing alot of positive buzz about the JUMA. Please help me sort this out.
Regards. I am seeking the trifecta, performance, hit, chalk resistance. I have read on Atlas website that the JUMA is fairly chalk resistant. I don't know about the other two. I also read that the JUMA machines very nicely, and takes a nice luster when polished. Also wondering how prone the JUMA might be to mushrooming?

Ivor-X and Melamine get my vote.

Thanks for making it worse. LOL. I'm kind of leaning towards the JUMA, just cause I'm hearing so much buzz, but one things for sure...I'm not sure. Thanks for the info.

Ivorine 4 is one of the heavier ferrule materials, hits like a sledgehammer, but gives more weight to the end of the shaft. I like to use it or phenolic for a break shaft.

Just my 2 cents

LBM. Imho it is the best all around ferrule material out there.
