According to Tony
Tony views building a cue much like building a race car. Each component of a cue plays a specific role in the cues overall performance. For example, an ivory joint weighs approximately .3 oz. Stainless joints weigh from 1 oz. to 1.3 oz. This change in weight alters both stiffness, and weight distribution in the cue. Both ivory and stainless joints can produce a satisfactory product depending upon the weight relationship to adjacent components. The net effect is contact time between the tip and the ball and the amount of deflection you experience. The contact time and deflection-- is also further complicated by, smooth stroke vs. poke,-- tight or loose hands as well as where you cradle the cue.
