I can say the way to promote a cue is not through DRAMA, let it go, Im sure the wood joint is fine, and it was also stated " break it if you can" obviously the joint is strong, and provides good feel. to what extent I have no idea, Ive havent had the oportunity to play with one, but if indeed the hit is close to a solid one peice cue Id surely own one. Performance to me is what I look for in a cue, it ethier has it or it dont. simple enough.
I rarely post here recently because of threads like these, Im always interested in cues and new technology concerning the game, but having to wade through topics like this make my time spent here hardpressed.
