How does it feel to be wrong? Both you and Mr Ozone employee were wrong,, lol. I think you owe me an apology, lol. This cue was in fact made with real woods (Rengas, and BEM), real points, and real veneers.

I had a pretty good feeling that I was right about this, and now I have proof, lol.

I watched most of the Alcaide-Bergman match. Slow, indeed. I paused the vid, let play go on, then caught up using FF to skip thru the in-betweens. Always the way to go.

Anyway, lot of cat-and-mouse in this match. Two great safety players. Bergman got the edge in the end. interesting to watch.

On the other hand, AJ Manas beat Vitaly Patsura in large part because he played better safeties. Neither was particularly good or close to the level of Alcaide and Bergman. Patsura really missed the mark on several key safeties.

A shame. Patsura has a good game and great stroke, but the little things get him all the time. Mediocre safety play and bad misses out of nowhere on relatively easy shots.

From your product page:

"100% North American Hard Rock maple"

That tells me it's a decal cue. The decals give the visual appearance of three distinct woods, which would not result in a cue with 100% maple

The product page is contradictory about the butt: it claims it is 100% maple and "made of exotic Rengas". Rengas is a wood.

PoolDawg has another Pure X HXTE model --- HXTE4. It, too, has the Rengas but it describes the butt as birdseye maple with Rengas and abalone graphics. Graphics likely means decal; HXTE4 has a butt with decals of a wood, Rengas, and a sea shell, abalone.

If HXTE20 is anything like HXTE4, HXTE20, too, has a decal of rengas wood.
