Ring material or A joint ring

[ideologist]

I'm looking fo opinions here from a few of you wise cue makers. I would have said old and wise, however i think we are all old here.

Does ring material make a difference at the A joint or any other joint or is epoxy the heroine that makes it all hold togteher
Nor plastic nor wood rings could change the impact on that area of the cue?
Say for instance a segemented cue

I know the ring material on the shaft collar does make a difference in the hit and the stability of the shaft


Opinions are good,
theories, are ok,
however experience surpasses all

Joint collar material on a shaft changes the hit? Amazing

the ring at the A joint has no affect on anything................. play pool and quit this nonsense

I can't find it right now but I posted a wood to wood glue test video here a few years back that was an eye opener.

In your experience what problems does a full core cause?

Not that I do it but I believe it's more forgiving of crappy workmanship and loose tolerances than an A joint.

a full core does not have any negative aspects.......... it only gives consistency to the cue..................

Use Moochi collar instead of phenolic.
You'll see.
