Does anybody make a solid 2 piece maple cue without any inlays ?? DO you think it would hit right ?? DO inlays add to the performance of a cue ?? If not, then why have them ?? ALso how come pool players dont use 1 piece sticks seems logical for it to be more consistent ??

How much would a solid maple stick 2 piece cost ?? I need something under $100 that hits solid... i dont need a fancy schmancy stick
 
Do you mean a cue where the entire butt is a single solid piece of Maple, and ideally cut from the same piece as the shaft then halfved and with a joint added?

If so the problem is overall weight and the distribution of that weight. Maple is used because it is both (relatively compared to other hard woods) strong and light. However a cue that had 100% in the entire butt would probably be too light and have a balance point well forward of the normal position. This is why, if you look at a house cue with a full splice, the butt material is always a heavier, denser hardwood like ebony, cocobolo or rosewood.

You'd probably get better technical answers posting this in the "Ask The Cuemaker" forum, someone there has probably tried it and can give you more detail than I can.
 
there's many full "maple cues" out there. that's really not such an odd thing.

in theory,,,any time you cut into a piece of wood(the cue), you compromise its integrity, but i doubt if anyone can tell the diff.

inlays make a cue pretty,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and more expensive. that's what you pay for.

one piece cues are not practical for mobility, and i don't think consistency is improved with one. consistency is performing the same all the time, and 2 piece or 1 has nothing to do with this.

go to your local room,,,befriend the owner,,,pick a favorite house cue,,,buy it for $25.
