thanks

Guys, let's stick to the topic "how the pins or joint affect the hit of the cue"

Listen to what Blud has to say, we're depriving ourselves of valuable information here!

There are other factors that affect the hit like woods used, taper, ferrule material but what Bluds trying to tell us is when all things equal, these are the types of pins and their type of hit...

And we haven't gone anywhere from that!

Silencer, Gremlin - it's not pocketing balls that we're concerned here, that's given! You could even shoot with a broomstick if you like and still make balls but what kind of hit will it have?

The HIT, in my opinion has something largely to do with ball control, speed and touch and feel of the shot... and not where you aim the CB to the OB to make a shot.

The floor is yours Blud

Many thanks [VH], I try to help, but some folks just want to voice there opinions and they have not a clue as to what they are talking about.

All pins, woods, lays, leather-wraps, linen wraps, tips, ferrules of every kind, wooden shafts, maple and maple from another tree, cored cues, non-cored
cues, bumpers, every little thing that goes into a cue, changes the hit.

Woods, my faviorite, is Bocote, it play great, got good vibbes, feel, and looks good.
Ferrues is ivory, tips, mine[11 layered].

Someone ask a question about linen and how the color changed the hit ir if it did. I don't know that one, linen is linen, it feels the same if it's from the same manufactor.


9baller says the Layani knows how to make a cue hit soft or hard.
Let him post how, or if he's scared to post his knowlege, call me at 830-232-5991 and I'll tell you right away if he knows how.

Maybe, maybe not, cause i been doing this for years, and only one other cuemaker knows how, that I am aware of..
Now remember were just talking about using the same shaft, tip, ferrule, on the same butt, except, make it hit softer, by doing something to the butt only.

Blud,

The guy was refering to where you said that you didn't like all black irish linen. You said that it was of lesser quality or something like that if I remember correctly. Is that just because it fades? I had a DP with an all black IL wrap and liked it fine, but it did seem to fade a bit.

Thanks zimmer, I hate the all black linen. It's not the same dia., from one end to the other, fades, and comes off in your hands, does not press well,and in my opinion looks like shit.

I will not cheapen my cues....If you want all black on a blud, it's got to be leather.........
