Yesterday I received my new Shawn Putnam cue,it is made of instrument grade Bubinga rosewood highly figured with beautiful chatoyancy , I have a Hugh collections of cues I've collected over the last 35 years and all I can say is WOW!!!!!! To this cue, I went to the pool hall yesterday like a kid headings to the candy store. Shawn was a gentlemen from start to finish, cue is flawless and plays awesome... If anyone want a beautiful cue and one of the best hitters out there call Shawn.....:smile:
