Your custom cues perform like crap!
Ok, you've spent the last decade or two perfecting a long, straight, smooth and well timed stroke. You have also spent an ungodly amount on cues, looking for the one cue that will give you effortless draw etc..
Well, you are a SUCKER! Big time!
According to the physicists your expensive custom cue won't perform any better than a hollow pvc tube that has been weighted in strategic places to give the proper weight and balance. You need a tiny bit of wood or something one the end to support the tip, but that's it. It won't bend in time to have influence on the spin or power (probably). An expensive cue may stay straigh longer, but whatever, you can always get a new pvc tube.
If you want to shell out the big bucks, get a one piece ramin cue and drill out the end for about 6 inches, insert a small tenon and a paper thin ferrule. Now your cue is state of the art! Better performance than a Gina cue once you glue some lead tape to it to get the balance the way you want! The taper is without any significance what so ever, so never mind that aspect of it. Smaller tip is better of course, but that's the end of that discussion. And if you want to add a joint, any stiff material that fastens the cue pieces securely will do. Brass, steel, ivory, plastic, wood. The pros can't tell the difference, so you can't either.
Even though cue feel is mostly imagination and without any significance what so ever, should the vibrations become too bad you can always add some sort of piezo-electric fabric or extra large rubber bumper. You are welcome.
All that stroke work is worthless too. Better work on your Hopkins twitch, for accurate tip placement. Timing, smoothness etc can't prolong cue contact time, so screw working on that. You could also work on some sort of reverse slip stroke, so you can't grab or twist the cue before impact, since you can't do anything good with the grip anyway.
Luckily there is hope if you have been tricked into buying worthless garbage! I will send you a special "tuned' ramin cue for every high end (rubbish) cue you send me! Free of charge!
