    CueShark Tip Tool

    got my cueshark PUP last week.. used every function except the side trimmer (break cue is 13mm with nickle radius, play cues are 12.75mm and 12.5mm with dime, and even marked my pockets with it), worked as advertised, and I am very satisfied. It literally replaced 4 tools in my cue case.

    my new greg sirca tuxedo cue

    With all that ebony and ivory, the cue is a lot less expensive than you would think. I had it custom made to my specs, and I agreed to Greg's request not to disclose the price of the cue in public, but let's just say that it was very affordable for a custom cue. Although I did send it back to...

    Do we at AZB have a responsibility to the lesser known cue-makers?
