Glad you are happy! Thanks for the feedback!I just got mine today. Before I continue, I just want to say that everyone is different and we all have preferrences.
I was just going to test hit with it for a few shots. I lost track of time and shot count and when I snapped to it, I've been playing for 2.5 hrs lol. Definitely my new "player"! I don't have a huge collection. I have a schon r12, an 80's JossWest, a Joss handmade (probably early 2000's). I don't know how else to describe the "hit" other than it has more "guts" than my JossWest and Joss. For each of my cues, I use 90% of the time, a 12mm solid maple shaft and the odd time, a mezz wx700.
Balance point:
Schon R12: 19 in.
JossWest: 19.5 in
Joss: 19 3/4 in.
Shuriken: 19 3/4 in.
I hope this helps.
P.S. I tried to include a video but I'm having trouble with that.
Thank you!Beautiful looking cues .
But, that long weight bolt, ugh!
Diameters as well as length and weight of our cues are custom.The original Shuriken cues were made by Israel Hightower. They were thinner and stiffer than most cues. But now someone overseas is using the same name building those fancy spliced cues.
Coincidentally I did send $ there for a kitten for my girl. The cat breeder was pretty big time In the Ukraine. It was very expensive, but sure enough the kitten showed up perfectly. I figured I had 50% best case to get the cat.Never had one. They look cool as hell. Sorry but i'm not sending $ to Ukraine for any reason. Probably safe/secure but i don't want to test that theory.
Hello,I'm thinking of ordering one, I've always loved the butterfly style, but do you have a butterfly style black cue with linen wrap sir?
I love the this cue plays in both pool and snooker.I have a friend who is very happy with his Shuriken...I’ll get him to post.
if they want business in the u.s. then they just need to set up a reliable middleman to receive the cues and check them out and forward them to the new owners and then send the money. this way you arent past your cancellation point with your credit card if things go wrong.
otherwise i personally wouldnt buy anything from anyplace overseas unless it was a major company.
especially when you have many options in this country where we have some consumer controls. like with credit cards. and a smart buyer keeps control over the sale and the money until he is confident it s all good.
We are building cue butts from these visualisations now:
