Mezz Core Wood

[biglaketrolling]

Hello,
what sort of wood is used by Mezz as core material for the actual production (spec. EC9) called „tapered core“ technology ?

I‘m looking for some precise information based on knowledge.

Thanks

In the past they've used various woods. Maple, laminated, purpleheart to name a few. They've also been known to use different coring methods for wrapped vs. wrapless cues. I honestly don't think there is a 'precise information' based answer to your question unless you have a spy in the factory.

Here’s a visualization of the tapered core in the butt. It doesn’t say the core wood — I assume maple, but not sure.

Thanks for your answers.
As Mezz is specifically describing the „outside“ woods name, origin and quality, I wonder why there is no information about the core-wood placed on the website of them. Could the influence of the the core material be neglected ? There are Cuemaker and Players talking about differences between f.ex. Ash-, Maple-, Purple Heart-, or Hornbeam-Cored cues.

Certain woods are heavier then others I would think they change the core type depending on model.

Everybody should read that. One hilarious quote: '...resulting to dampness in the feedback of the butt.'

So...my butt is going to get wet playing with their tapered core? Perverts.

A. Probably closely held manuf. techniques and B. Why worry about it? The cues play great.

Thanks again for the answers.

This a Mezz MSP C (1. Series) from inside.
Looks a little strange…funny, is this cored or the Birdseye Maple from the forearm ?

I also tried to found what wood is used in my Mezz ZZ cue.
This is the answer I got from Mezz European representative:
"The core material cannot be specified because it changes depending on the weight of the wood used."

Attached you can see the core wood inside a Mezz Z cue.
