Once QB Custom Cues, owned by Ken ?Q-Ball? Thiemann and A.J. Heuther, become known to players outside of the St. Louis area I believe they will have a hard time keeping up with customer orders. Their designs are stunning. Their craftsmanship is outstanding. But most of all, their cues play great.
I just purchased this cue. My first impression is how light it feels in my hands. It weighs 19 ounces with either shaft. I think it feels lighter because it so well balanced. Hit is hard to describe. I can say that this QB cue hits like my Verl Horn cue and cue maker Jim Buss was very impressed with the hit of the Horn.
Playing with the cue I have a sense of greater finesse than with most other cues in my collection. It provides good feedback. That translates to the perception of more precision. There must be something to this. I made 38 out of 40 possible balls in a bar box 8 Ball league my first time out with it.
QB Custom Cues currently makes only one-of-a-kind cues. You can contact Ken on these forums. He uses QB Custom Cues as his alias. You can also contact him at 636-485-4354 or q.ball.1@hotmail.com. Another example of their work here:http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=102639
