I have a wonderful Jacoby cue. I'd sold out to predator cues for awhile, and have been playing with their sneaky pete and a 5K3. For a while I liked the predators better, but I noticed a major problem that I have with the predators that I didn't have with Jacoby. I travel frequently and am always playing on different tables, one day its a brunswick with slow felt in a humid environment, with real high action cushions, another day it may be a diamond table with fast simonis cloth in a dry atmosphere, etc... and I have a much more difficult time adjusting to the different tables with the predators, than what I did when I played with the Jacoby.
So I've brought the Jacoby out of retirement. Its a wonderful cue. However, there's the very slightest of a wobble when I roll the cue, I mean the wobble is very minute... maybe 1/16th of an inch or 2mm at most every 6 to 8 inches when I roll it across the table. When I roll the shaft and the butt by themselves neither has the wobble. When I screw the joints together they seem to come together quite evenly. Could the wobble simply be because of the shafts taper? Its been present since I bought the cue, but I wasn't quite so obsessed with pocket billiards when I first purchased this cue.
I realize that is something that is small enough not to worry about in terms of effecting game play. But the butt has a small few knicks in the finish, and I'd like to send it back to Jacoby eventually to have it refinished and am curious if I should have them address this wobble when I do... I think I am just being a bit overly critical, but would like to get someone who knows something about cue dynamics and construction to give me a little bit of feed back. What I'd like to here is "Relax, your being a bit obsessive."
Thanks for any feedback.
