The cue is over the top with intricate designs and incredible inlays. It must be just my taste in pool cues because although this cue is clearly very ornate cue-making, it's not a cue design I would ever want to own. The cue is admittedly very, very fancy but a fancy design does not render a pool cue either pretty or handsome etc....IMO. My taste in pool cue designs is obviously different from everyone else's and I expect I'll be the only person on the Forum that doesn't care for this cue's design
