Steve Klapp....one piece butt ancient maple cue. AWESOME..... PICS ADDED!!
* Well I like to first start this review by saying that if there is any measure of a true gentleman to do business with ....its is Steve Klapp. But let's talk about this cue shall we..
At first glance this maple looks like Jesus might have planted these trees . It's *that old and beautiful. The tightness and straightness of the grain is truly something to behold....hands down best stuff I have seen (and is common consensus thus far with others who have seen this cue)*
Here are the specs on this plane jane beauty.
2 Shafts:
ABS ferrule 1" ,Prather layered tip, Rock hard ,tight grain straight as an arrow 140 yr old maple , light brow phenolic joint collar
diameter 12.75, 12.25. Thick taper*
(but can have anything you want from Steve.)
Butt:
one piece of this godly maple
( that Barry Bonds would have a tough time breaking if he tried) ultra glossy smooth finish, speed 3/8-10 brass joint, brown phenolic joint and butt cap , (I went bumper less on this cue cuz I love that old school *ping sound it makes) plush brown leather wrap very well done.
Playability :
If you like a stiff hitting cue. This is it!! It plays like a dream. I have tried all kinds of LD shafts and they got nothing on this pure earth made maple.....WOW is the only word I have heard uttered from the mouths of those who I have let play with it. My stoke feels more confident than ever with this cue.
Get one!!! You will throw your other cues in the fire place when you play with one of these.
Overall:
11 out of 10
My only suggestion to Steve is to get some rest while you can because you will be making *a lot of these cues!!
Thanks for reading... here is Steve's # if your interested in one of these cues
(I will be posting pics later).
