The classic 10,000 hour rule. It actually roughly applies in formal medical training when you do the calculation. Medical residency is 80 hours a week for 3 years. That's 12,480 hours. Take out vacations, sick time, etc.

The higher you go, left to right, the more even they are. One the left most cue not so much. The three on the right are pretty darn even. And as I said, the two on the right even have the rings in the butt sleeve lined up. Maybe I will get some close ups of the veneers. Nicely done. No...

I have in the past in various posts but it requires digging to find them. When I get the cues together for pictures I'll try to do a more definitive post with more details. I'll do the same for the Cobra line. But I probably will do those in the history forum with some historic records as...

That's it in a nutshell. I know I wouldn't try to do it.

I am the same. I prefer veneered points. Lately I have been attracted to cues with ebony points and no veneers, as well as a few like this. This is a perhaps better picture of that forearm wood. Not bad for a lower end production cue. You would think they might have pulled that piece for...

To be fair he said "official" not "proper", but it's still a good question.
