Why do cues made by the same Cue Maker have such different hits !!!

I agree that wood is wood and it's like a fingerprint, no two pieces will be the same. With that said, I agree with the poster that said the tip makes it or breaks it for him. When I first got my JMW I had him put Triangle tips on it for me because I'd been using Triangles for damn near 20 years. When the cue got here I was severely disappointed with the hit of the cue. It didn't suit me one bit. Either shaft. i was extremely bummed to say the least. Anyway, I decided to try a Moori medium on it, and even though I had not been a fan of Morri tips up to that time, the difference was like night and day. That cue just felt right after that. I'm now using Moori mediums on my JMW cue and it's my favorite cue in my collection....because it just feels right. So, before you pass judgement on the way a cue feels try some different tips to make sure.

So what materials or techniques do you guys use, if you want the cue to hit hard or crisp?

if someone wants a really hard hit you can use the old style glass melamine,hard tips and also certain woods.Blackwood,Olivewood and several other dense Rosewoods,PH,etc have a crisp hard hit.a hard hitting wood in the front with a hard handle wood will definitely give you a hard hit.

also it seems to me that the G-10 pins have a little crispier hit than brass.myself i like something in the middle or maybe even leaning towards soft.for a softer hit you can use softer hitting handle wood.
