have a question about wood used for shafts.
I have two cues that I am comparing(I own both.)
One is a sneaky pete made by a local cuemaker(he is very nice and his work seems top noch thus far.) If I look at the bottom of his shaft I can see that the wood he used had many 'growth' rings, I count 18 total.
Next up is a jacoby that I picked up. If I count the growth rings on the bottom of the shaft, there are 5 total.
My viking(which i LOVE dearly) seems to be somewhere in the middle with 10 or 11.
Is the jacoby any good of a cue? Some pics of it are on the bottom.
I picked it up for $150. It is brand new, never been chalked. The tip sucks on it. I am deciding whether or not I should get a predator shaft(I tried one and liked it) for the viking or for the Jacoby.
Should I just resell the Jacoby? How much do you think I could get for it?
