ob classic on what butt
- Thread starter ballafish
- Start date
I've played many years with a wood to wood & then many years with a steel to steel & now a steel to mix of collar & wood. I would say that they all have a bit of a different feel, more solid, more feedback, etc. but I really did not find that much of, if any real difference in actual playability. They all play well. So, that would be a matter of personal preference & the only way to determine that is to play with all of the different combinations
As to the spliced butt, that is just my personal feeling & what I heard Mr. Meucci say when doing his shaft deflection testing. However, I think it showed a signifcant difference in the test, but he was not testing many different spiced shafts & i am fairly sure that they might be inconsistent even within makes & models.So I would say that my opinion is far from being anything conclusive. But that being said if I had a choose I know how I would roll the dice.
Again, I hope this helps.
Regards,

meucci butt works great for me, no wrap and it was half the price of the ob shaft
I'm thinking of buying a new OB cue soon myself. Which of these would you guys recommend?

I'm going to buy a ob 121 with classic shaft looks like great cue and a lot of guys love it and its not sky high on price and me I hate wraps
If u don't care about price I'd go with the ob 124 or ob 129 only reason I'm not is I spend too much on cues already lol hope this helps! Don't really matter what u get from ob its all gonna be a great pick
I'm using an OB classic with a 3/8 x 10 Schmelke butt, and it works very well. 3/8 x 10 is the standard McDermott pin. I have it on all my cues, and like it a lot. If one of your McDs has phenolic collars and a flat face wood-to-wood joint, I'd go with that. Gives the best feel, IMO.
