If you are looking for a stick that has great control and feel without all the unnecessary frills of a $500+ cue, this is for you. You can't beat the price point for the quality provided. I have had this stick for a little over a month now and play 4-5 days a week. I could not ask for more. I especially like the beveled screw at the joint to provide extra stability. The nude forearm almost entirely removes any need for a glove or chalk to reduce hand stick.

This cue is finely crafted, with real inlays and high grade woods. The reddish brown goncola wood looks rich and expensive. This cue looks like it should cost $300 or more. Even the beige rings near the joint collar are real wood inlays. The stick I received is perfectly straight, straighter than my wife's $400 stick, based on the table-roll test. It has a nice medium-firm hit and draws the cue ball well. The center of balance is further forward than on most sticks, which provides more stability on the bridge hand. The shaft is extra smooth, with very low friction. I used #600 sand paper lightly to make the shaft even smoother. I also like to seal the shaft wood on all my cue sticks with fluorinated liquid ski wax (Swix F4).

I've been using this for some time now and i really like it, i like the feel when it hits. The design quality and craftsmanship is very nice. I wish they have another without wrap but with the same design. If you like how it looks buy it, you wont regret it :)
