Hi Stephen,
I oversee the Student Center Game Room here at Temple University! We have been replacing all of our old wooden cues with fiberglass Cutec 1pc House cues. They are pricier (about $100 ea.) but seemingly last forever (as opposed to our wooden cues which broke and splintered constantly with heavy use). I was told 1pc are better…
