Is there anyone familiar with Joe Porper cues and possibly the taper he used or shaft wood? I had a cue of his years ago and was forced to sell it because I needed the money at the time. Got engaged. LOL Since his cues are so rare now and it seems nobody is moving them and I would be afraid to use one as a daily player anyway, I just wondered if ANYBODY could help me find something comparable to the hit of his cues. It was so incredibly stiff like todays LD shafts but solid wood and I have never felt a cue in my hands since that one which I felt as confident and comfortable with. I am currently playing with a Hills' cue which is great, just not quite as stiff or solid as my Porper. Not sure if it is a difference in taper or shaft wood. Sorry to ramble and I apologize if this is in the wrong area. Thanks for anyone that may be able to point me in the right direction.
