hello Sherm , here, i am looking at a Phillippi cue for 900.00 Ebony it has 8 points and 8 windows 3 sets of rings and 1 ring between butt cap and ring below grip no dings or dents The points line up well but are not perfect and one looks like it broke off ? The windows don't all line up with the rings either , about half do. He says windows are ivory and rings ferrules and buttcap probably not ? I like the way it plays but have no idea of what I am looking for as far as whether it is well made or not? Can you give me your opinipon please? Thanks Bill
