Planning My Gold Crown VII Purchase

I recommend looking for the right GCIV Tournament Edition. Maybe piano black or something really sharp. Pockets could be 4.75", and it was the best GC of the past, although I haven't played on the new ones. You could spend the extra $8500 on something else. I get I'm not telling you something you don't already know.

He already has a gc4 and I believe it was improved by a good mechanic.

Custom Cue with Ivory

I don't know any 'name' guys still using it. Too much hassle and not worth the aggravation/risk. As for the 'hit' i would agree that iv. ferrules have a distinctive feel to them, they also are heavy and deflect like hell. I had Josswest yrs ago with a ivory big-pin joint and it played ok but the 'hit' wasn't much different from the stainless. The joint has little if any to do with how a cue hits/feels.
The joint does have a lot to do with the hit.......
