Thanks for coming to this forum and answering questions from us. All my questions are about the various construction methods and their effect on playability and "feel'' each give the cue. Please comment on the following:

1. Forearm construction; full-splice, short splice, flat bottom points, no
points, and coring.

2. Do you think veneers add to or take away from (or have no effect) on
soundness?

3. On non full-spliced cues, does the type of wood used as a handle
make a difference?

4. Joint material such as ivory, phenolic, steel, or wood.

5. Joint types... piloted or flat face. Also various pins and the material they are made from.

Thanks in advance.
