My .02 cents...
I came up playing steel joints... Palmer, plain Tad, etc... all my playing cues are steel joint... either 5/16-14 or 5/16-18 piloted. The only flat faced joint cues I have are an older Pechauer sneaky, and my Little Al sneaky and JB cues.
I can feel the difference... I had a BEM Southwest at one point, just could not get into that cue... tried a friend's really nice four point SW, same thing.
I guess it's what you're used to... different strokes! It could be a Budweiser cue if you get out with it... Mark Tadd used to play lights out with a cheap fiberglass cue, with the 9 ball rack painted on the butt sleeve!
