i tried it out for about an hour this afternoon...

wonderful balance - ever so slightly forward weighted ...

stop shots and draws are a breeze ... slightly more spin on inside english draws but that could just be me as i have not played in about 3 weeks :rolleyes:

the shafts are slightly "softer" than what i normally play with but then again i usually ask for stiffer tapers ... the plus side is that draws are much easier ... took me all of 1 rack to adjust so that goes to show how easily the cue falls into your hands.

by and large, a gem for the price ...

customer service was spectacular : virtually instant email replies, tons of pictures during production and a really fun guy to talk to...

all in all, i am very satisfied :grin:
 
The fiddleback maple is what I hope for every cue that I own!
very nice finishing work done on this cue. The finish looks like glass. :)


Seldom get to see cues from Dick Neighbors posted in this forum.
Thanks for the review and pictures.


Hopefully I can go Hong Kong to visit you guys soon. :)
 
Another new toy to test. I'll be home soon. I'm enjoying Phils as of now. It's poolhaven. :D
