Hello,
I'm trying to figure out how ivory over stainless steel joints play and if they crack easy. Like what is found on a Mobley.
Historically The ivory joint cues I like have been the ivory sleeve over wood. Like what you find on a Bender or JossWest. And I like that feel. The only solid ivory joint that I've played with and liked is the short one my Andy Gilbert. The standard full size full ivory joints I do not like. They play soft to me. I like a hard hitting cue. My current cue is a Bender.
I have not played with a 5/16 14 steel joint In 20 years. Always preferred a big pin. Not sure I have ever hit with a 5/16 14 ivory joint.
Now I'm thinking about buying a cue with either a ivory over stainless steel jointed cue. I have heard some people say the inner steel will crack the outer ivory. I'm looking for feedback on how they play and durability.
Also interested in how 5/16 14 ivory joints play too. Like what you would find on a James White cue.
Thanks for the input.
