oh my !
took both cues down today ... i was impressed !! and after trying out quite a few cues over the last 4 years, i don't impress easily ....
these were consummate players ... pin point accuracy, superb cue ball action and speed control... firm, taut, and they just sound great !
i could go on and on but the bottom line is that these are, without question, one of the finest cues i have ever had the pleasure of playing with.
of the two, i would be hard pressed to choose the better but if i had to, i would give the edge to the pheasant wood - it just had that fractional edge in terms of power - and we are talking of a choice on a purely academic basis - they are almost identical which says a lot about the consistency of the cue maker ...
kudos to randy - a true gentleman and craftsman !
