I just got this cue from Keith a week ago and I have to say that he hit it out of the park. I originally was looking at getting a standard bocote into maple sneaky, but after listening to my preferences (60", 20-21 oz.), they recommended a heavier dark bocote into ebony blank so they wouldn't have to rely on weight bolts to get the cue up to 20 ounces. It's a rare wood combination, and I thought it would be a little to dark for my taste, but as you can see from the photos, it's a beauty. Despite the length and heavier weight, the cue is balanced very nicely, while the shaft is 12.5mm and deflects a little more than the predator I'm used to. However it feels and lot more powerful and solid with no vibration whatsoever, and I've had no problems adjusting. Also, I have to say that the rings and finish on this cue are absolutely flawless, among the best I've seen.
