Try the Joss kielwood shaft. I love mine

Stephen at the Joss shop is great to work with. He listens.

Thank you. Going for that old school classic look. Steve and I went back and forth for about a year bouncing ideas off of each other. He is a very patient gentleman. The theme of the cue was fall colors and his kielwood shaft came with the cue. His father made a cue for me 10 years prior which...

Curious. What did you pay for it?

I know it's crazy. Picked this custom up about 8 months ago to my personal specificatins from inlays, colors, etc. and it cost much less than some of Preditor's high end machine made products. I just don't understand it.

Predator is the absolute king of pool marketing. Sometimes I think that they are a marketing company that uses the pool diaspora to make their profits. I just don't see it. Frankly, some of their production cues are more costly than some customs and the pool world eats them up. They are great...
