Hello very nice cues,I looked through your threads and I agree 100% on a rating system for cues and the way they hit. It looks like we have the exact same taste when it comes to cues. I had a nice Nitti and it was one if not the best hitting cue I've ever played with. I just couldn't get use to the taper of his butt section. I like a thinner handle/butt section and cues that have a good stiff crisp hit. I use a Diveney cue now and it plays great. I really liked the purple heart Blackcreek you had for sale. That was a beautiful cue,I have always wanted to try out one of their cues. Is the handle/butt section on your Nitti on the thicker side? That is a great price for that cue. Thank you for your time. Bobby
