Dealing with a builder halfway around the world away is always going to have it challenges. There's so many here in the States i've never been tempted myself. Nice looking cue.

Thanks! I realize it's something of a gamble to go abroad with something like this, but I do appreciate the many examples of his work I've seen. I like his vibe. Plus, I just find myself curious about how cues made in other parts of the world look, feel & play. If I were able to have a massive collection of cues, part of that collection would be devoted to cues from outside the US - a cue from every prominent country where a reputable maker exists.

I own 16 sets of balls. My Rhodiums are the set that gets played with. They play great, look great and Dynaspheres have the tightest weight tolerance of any set I own (see linked thread below). They will stay cleaner, longer as well. I prefer them over my Centennials (3 sets).

Great read here. Absolutely love the old nicknames. Good stuff.
