These are things I would be quite interested in finding out with some X-Rays to show the inner workings and what different cue makers do to try and get results. Some people watch a magic show and go wow, others watch the show and ask how.
Celt, what goes on inside the has a lot to do with cues' hit imo.
Some say, check what's under the wrap and you'll learn a lot about that cue.
Now, check inside, the cue and you'll find out a ton more.
Seeing x-rays of Bender and SW made me realize why they are so good.
I've seen new x-rays of Gina and JW too. Both great work.
I told Ernie at the Bike I saw an x-ray of his new masterpiece. I told him, no offense but a friend of mine were wondering why your new cue hits really well.
I told him we saw why. He just smiled and nodded. He knows not too many will go the lengths of how he does it now to make his cue hit that well, I think.
I don't know how many cues Ernie makes every year but they sure are worth the investment imo.
Mike Bender makes great hitting cues too imo.
Some of the x-rays I've seen would embarrass the makers. They look like their assistant made the cue while was high or mad. How else do you explain way overdrilled holes; worse inconcentric. One cue used by a pro had off-centered weight-bolt at the bottom.
