Full-Spliced

I don't know the answer to this, but does Hercek work out of his garage?
If so, do you think that it's all the extra humidity and moisture that's absorbed into the shaft and butt that gives it this quality of hit over the others?

The full-splice technique is what makes it different. There is a good explanation of it on his web site. Another good explanation can be found at:

Thanks DJ...but iconcues ratted me out. I wasn't trying to pull your leg, but to more or less poke it to the guys that buy cues from some cuemaker that DOES make cues in their garage.

The full-splice technique IS what makes the difference. Needless to say, most have no clue how to do it let alone do it properly.

BUT, Joel and all of the highly recognized cuemakers (as well as others) work in a very climate controlled environment with humidity and temperature maintained in a stable manner. Many of them have wood for shafts and butts curing in the shop for years before using them in a cue. The process from starting the cue to finishing it also takes longer with the settling and curing between various steps. You just can't have that kind of quality in an uncontrolled environment with temperature and humidity fluctuations that are going up and down like a yo-yo on a daily basis. That's something that just seems to zing right over their heads because they looking for the "cheap".

I forgot to mention it in my first post...but great looking cue. I just love them thar Herceks.

Either I have been on these boards too little to know the members, or I am losing my sense of humor, or maybe both. That was great-
