anyone ever try this combination? im having a custom shaft made this weekend with this combination on it. if i dont like it, im going to have the tip changed and go with it as a break shaft.

was wondering if anyone has tried it?
 
I made a break shaft w/ brown phenolic into a playing shaft for a friend at my homeroom3 weeks ago and he loves it with a medium Wizard tip, his playing shaft got a crack near the joint and the tighter he tightened the worse it got. Since he was not using the break shaft he decided to try it out as a player and he really likes the stiff firm hit.--Leonard
 
Made myself a break stick with a black phenolic ferrule. Put a Lepo on it just to see how it would shoot. Sold it with in 10min. the first time I went to play. Later I put a layered tip on it and man I sure wish I had that stick back. It played great.

I use the canvas and linen phenolic for ferrels as it is pretty much the hardest material you can use ... I 've put all kinds of flavors of tips on them and players like it all ... The new Aegis II from Atlas is poor quality and the old LBM is as good as anything ... :cool:
 
You do know that all the ivorine, aegis, melamine etc are all phenolic materials don't you.

Most cues out there have this combination.

Actually, they are better than the typical black or brown materials used for the break tip combos. The black and brown are typically made from what is called "sheet rod". Basically they take a flat sheet and cut strips from it which are then turned into rods. The canvas or linen runs across the material making it very strong one way, but weak in the opposite direction. If you are looking straight down at the crown, you would see this. The formal ferrule materials are wound, and not made from a sheet. This means that the canvas wraps around the ferrule so there is no weak spot.
