The dymond wood ferrule that broke was being used on a break cue. It works well as cue parts and I have used it as butt cap and a joint cap on one cue an it has held up just fine.

It is strong... it just seems a little brittle under a big shock load...

well I wanted this to be my break shaft but im thinking now itll just be a heavy playing shaft once fixed
 
I like using 19 ounce but my dad uses 22 , last night was pool night for him he went ahead took shaft I will let u know what he thinks im betting he likes it, as for me I feel he back of my arm hurting after 15 min of using heavy cues lol!
