While that is certainly true there are some things that will make the cue more comfortable to a player. Take for instance, my current playing cue. I love the way it hits but it is wrapless and and I can't get used to it. I am on the look out for my next playing cue (with a wrap).
I agree on the feel but I have felt for a long time that I would rather give up that feel (best is debatable as I think it is too hard) for less squirt.
I really don't know why anyone would chose to have an ivory ferrule on their playing cue. While it has become the standard for collector cues there are many more ferrules now a days that play better.
Are they the best? They are certainly among the best. I have owned several and have owned everything else from a searing to a Kersenbrock.
If you like a solid firm hitting wood to wood big pin cue than these are among the best. A bender or a bluegrass might be just as good. If it is any...
There are a lot of posts/views on the Revo shaft thread in the main section. That seems to be more deserving than a sub forum. what ild like to know is what aiming technique worked best with each cue.
Well if you missed the review the main take away of it is that I need to try a szamboti and perhaps a mobley. There, everyone is up to speed.
In all seriousness, it was a nice helpful review.
Not necessarily In this order
Ed Young's modified DPK taper
Pete Tascarella's long taper with new shaft treatment
Mike Lambros straight taper standard shaft hits pretty great too
Break cue
I have an awesome custom Darrin hill break cue. It has a g10 ferrule and tip. Cost me $500. It is in mint condition and I would sell for $285 shipped firm.
