Mike Webb cues are become more and more classy with every new cue he built. Had a chance to examine a few of his newer cues and I have to say those butterfly points are beautiful and his cue just feel right in your hand!! You don't have to hit with his cue to know that it's a player's cue. Definitely one of the better maker on the market right now and one to look out for in this market. Not to mention he's a little busy in his shop right now with orders.

Koop,
I completely agree with you. I have owned 4 and currently have 2 of them. They play incredibly well and he is a great man on top of that. His finish work is impeccable. I could not ask for better communication throughout the process.
Best,
Ian

I've known Mike since before he started making cues. I've talked alot of cue theory with Mike over the years. I've never met a man of such character. Always wanted to built up his business based on his own work and knowledge. I still have one of his cues today, but at one time, I had a BEAUTIFUL snakewood cue with an ivory ff joint. Boy, did that cue hit well. John Wright called me one night for a favor and I sold it to him. I owed John one, so despite my reservations, off it went. Ugh. If I ever see this one again on Ebay....If you can find his older pre-cored cues (triple silver rings were his early trademark), don't let go of them. Despite my general objections to cored cues, he'll be making one for me this spring. I've owned mottey and josswest and a bunch of others and his really do hit as well as any of them. One of the best wrap guys ever....super on linen and one of the best with a leather wrap.

I have ivory point Webb cue with solid ivory joint that I bought from one of the AZ WHO WRITES IN ALL CAPS. This cue plays very very well for me. Can't really pin point to why it plays well but it does. I typically use the shaft from this cue if I'm playing with another radial pin cue.
Only thing I don't like about my cue is "rounded" inlays in the butt sleeve.

I REMEMBER THAT CUE, IT WAS A PLAYER. I'M NOT A FAN OF THE "ROUNDS" EITHER, BUT MIKE'S STRUCTURAL BUILD IS AWESOME.
P.S. I HATE THOSE GUYS THAT TYPE IN CAPS.

Must be that Pixie dust I stole from Peter Pan, My favorite cues have no inlays at all but I'm working on it. Getting more comfortable with that hobby knife every day.
Thank you to all for the kind words.

Since the arrival of my newest Webb cue I thought it was time for me to write a review and share some pics of my pair. First off, everyone knows that Mike and I are friends so there is a tad bit of bias when it comes to my opinion of him and his work. That being said, I will try to be as objective as possible.
The first cue Mike built for me is the cocobolo and maple cue. When first ordered he knew I was playing with a Joss and we decided to keep the butt diameter around the same. The points and veneers are absolutely flawless along with the balance and weight, which he hit right on the head. After some time of playing with it I realized that I don?t like the thicker butt and without hesitation he took it back, slimmed it down and gave it back, all within a couple of days and at no charge. Did I say that Mike is a great guy to work with? This cue plays fantastic and the looks are out of this world. So much so that my wife took claim to it
So fast forward to my newest cue, which is MINE...
I have wanted a bocote / ebony cue for quite some time and thought it was about time that I did it. Mike let me pick out the piece of bocote and off he went. During the entire process, of both cues, he gave me regular updates and gave me options along the way. My first instinct was to go with no veneers but he talked me into a single veneer to separate the points from the forearm. I have to say he was ABSOLUTELY right. What a difference. He also suggested a black linen wrap. At first I was hesitant but again he nailed it. As with the first cue the points and veneers are sharp and dead even. We went with an ivory hoppe ring surrounded by silver rings which really make it pop. To top it off the ring work near the joint is just beautiful. All in all this is my favorite cue to date from Mike and thankfully it?s mine.
Now came the best part. I went out last night and shot with it for a solid 6 hours. All I can say is that Mike never ceases to amaze me at not only the beauty of his cues but how they play.
I hope you enjoy the write-up and pics. For anyone considering a cue from Mike, you will not be disappointed.

Koop
