BHQ Cue: Cocobolo, birdseye & pau ferro butterfly with a twist

[billiardshot]

WoW!!!!!!!!! Was my first word after opening Brent package [by the way very well protected package] The finish on this cue Flawless; the cue more beautiful than these pictures on this thread http://forums.azbilliards.com/showpost.php?p=2054120&postcount=1

Now I know why Blowfish, My Son, and other love BHQ Cues. And now here my reason:

Flawless finish
Yes, this cue have a foward balance at 19.5" Which I like as it keep the shaft down. I found no added weight in the butt area, just the joint pin which is 3/8'x10 thrd brass. With the balance foward i tend to hold the cue more in the style of Asian Carom Players or as some might say in the Nick Varner position.

The Cue does play stiff, I 'm still looking for the sweet spot, I found the Click and Snap, but not the Thud. Which would make it great for both Pool and 3C game. The ferrule is 1" LBM tip LePro [I normally play with a triangle tip], the shaft taper more of carom or A Dieckman Universal taper, which I like very much.

Overall appearance fantastic. I just love this true Butterfly and the inlay penny. a student of Dieckman ,no more, a master of Dieckman and his Butterfly style, Yes.

Brent Hartman, might just be Dieckman #1 Student, but after shooting with this Cue - He a True CUEMAKER in own Right and Style. Great Cue Brent. If you collect Dieckman's Cue, a BHQ need to be in your Collection. Just ask "Bobby The Mole" a Dieckman friend and Penny cue Collector.

The cue will be a companion to my Dieckman Penny cue and a reminder of
why Brent Will alway be Brent "Burnt Pizza" Hartment in my eye.



Look at these picture and you will see the color of Burnt Pizza and the name I'm giving the cue.

Weight is great the oz I like.
But I should add the butt is: a smaller Dia. than most cue, very close to Sang Lee Spec. Which is what the Dieckman's Penny cue spec are.

i like my cues the same as i like my women, with little BUTTS :grin-square:

But I'll probably use a Rubber with that Butt! later on.

I fail to mention the shaft wasn't a Bleach White or NonBlemish. It have blemish some light some dark even sap streak line. But By Dieckman own word some of the top Carom players [Mazin Shooni, just to mention one player], love these type of shaft and will search or study over a hundred shaft before they find one shaft. these shaft only add more Characteristic and Playability to the cue.

Brent's cue is topnotch, hence I ordered another one. I'm waiting for my next beauty to come in the near future.
