Jeff Olney review

Sorry for the delay everyone. I have been fighting a gall bladder issue, kidney stone or some type of pain that is going to seek some medical attention this week. Feels like a kick straight to the (yep there) with lower back pain.
I have had several cues on order from Jeff after reading all of the feedback on his cues. The cue plays PERFECT!!! Everything that I want out of a pool cue is all here. The hit has a nice tone that sounds solid when it hits the cue ball. The feel itself it exactly what I like. I was going to go with a 13.15 but Jeff told me that his shafts were a little beefy so I went with the 13mm. Response is effortless. Whatever you put on the ball it is going to do just that. I am getting one hell of a forearm workout putting this cue together :grin:. This is the tightest fit with both shafts that I have ever used. You have to muscle down on either shaft to get it on, nice and snug.
The worst part of getting this cue was that it wasn't a total surprise to me of the playability. I have done lots of research and pmed several who have similar tastes in cues as far the hit goes. So, I was already expecting a very good hitting cue. I am very happy I got on Jeff's list and advise anyone sleeping on a great playing cue to try one out. He is a great guy to deal with and VERY, VERY reasonable with his prices. I am getting a 6 pointer from Jeff pretty soon and really looking forward to that also. I have kind of a neat idea that I am going to work on over the next few weeks when I have a few spare moments that I thought of when trying to dscribe the hit to a friend on the phone. It is going to be kind of like a pepsi, coca cola taste test but it is going to be a thread on here with a click for cue 1, cue 2 etc if the sound quality is good enough. It is just going to be a little experiment to see what other people prefer to hear out of a cue. Sound tells A WHOLE LOT in a cue to me. I won't have a ton of cues but will have 8 or so to listen between ranging in different tones. It will be fun to do and let people hear some solid cues also. Anyway, thanks alot Jeff for giving me an opportunity to try your cues out. And please count me in for 2 cues a year for now on if that is at all possible. Now, if I can only catch up with Remy :grin-square::grin-square:
Here are a few pictures along with a sneak peek of a 6 pointer coming to me. Thanks also to everyone that responded to my questions on his cues, I know I can ask too many questions but this is me. Check them out.

Glad you are having a good experience with your Olney. They are fenominal cues. I have had 3 of his cues & I was lucky to get one of his Jump cues. All of them play LIGHTS F-ING OUT! I champion Olney cues every chance I get. Jeff is a great guy to deal with. Congrads!
