I recently had a custom butt made for me by Ryan Theewen. Used to be Rat cues. Whatever you do DO NOT have him make you anything. Paid $800 for this exquisite butt I thought I was going to get and what a piece of garbage. I wouldn't have paid him 300 if I would have known the workmanship and attention to detail was so bad.

Sorry to hear that. Had a similar experience with Jim Lee years ago. I had him make a cue for my dad, under the stipulation he could get it done in 4months. 6 months later, he hasn't started it and my dad had passed away, and I was personally in poor health and had to quit playing aswell. I requested a refund, and he not only said no, but said the price was now 70% more than the initial quote, and I could buy the cue at the new price or forfeit the $500 deposit. One guy I wish I never dealt with.

The answer is on the players not the restrictions. IOW <precision>. Well one word.

IMW
In more words, How likely is a 180 degree angle? If the ball has wiggle room at all, there's your angles.

Plenty of precision now, along with a lot of safety play, I understand it but to people who are not knowledgeable about pool it's boring to watch, pool was bigger when players had a chance to take and make amazing shots, I don't blame the players for not taking chances when the odds are stacked against them due to the table conditions.
