I believe I beat 80 prevent of the people 80 percent of the of the time 10 percent of the people 50 percent. of the time and ten percent kick my butt. I have NEAR shot with a LD shaft. If I thought aLD shaft would make a 5 percent difference I'd try but Willie didn't neither did most of the...

Does anyone here have or know of a Pernambuco Southwest cue?

Does anyone here have or know of a Pernambuco Southwest cue?

Sweet cue very tasteful

I haven't made my mind up on this yet. John made me this cue and it is number 66 and dated 7/16/11. I ordered this cue after purchasing a cue that John had all ready built. I sent John the wood for the cue and he built it to my specs. The cue is an exceptional playing cue and has been played but...

If you just wish to play there is no reason to. However if you choose to sell a $300.00 cue u may get $100.00 for it. I bought a Gus Szamboti from Gus in 1982 shot it for 19 years and sold it for $6750.00. Barry made me a cue for $2500.00 I sold a year later for $3500.00. Will you always make $...

Heres mine I haven't had this that long but from the first time i picked it up it was the most naturally balanced cue that I have owned and I don't know of anyone that finishes a shaft as smooth as Joel. The balance maybe due to the fact that I had him build it to 58 inches. What ever it is it...

My Choices I am working from memory on most but my top 4 Joel Hercek Dennis Searing Mike Bender Bill Schick Honorable Mention and I mean RIGHT THERE!!!!!!! John Bender Perry Weston The John Bender is my around town cue and he builds an excellent cue!!

I don't think you will find any thing bad about Jerry if you search the posts here his cues are mentioned in most of the best hitting threads. His full Splice cues have veneers that are as good as I have seen and the thing that stands out to me is that his bottom points are as close to points as...

Chopdoc, i sold a Gus that he built for me an sold me for $1250.00 for $6750.00 that I wish I still had.

Thanks for the thoughts guys I think Ill for go a LD shaft at least for now.

I have never taken a shot with a low deflection shaft and have been considering trying one. My issue is if it isn't broken should I fix it?

I have owned one Southwest over the years and it played OK but I can't say it was the best playing cue I have had. I bought the cue off of AZ and it was a nice cue but I ended up trading it. Do not get this wrong I appricate a Southwest and I am a fan of the history and the cue. I am actually on...

Someone got a good cue

Good comments gentlemen all valid and I appricate the feedback. For now I am holding on to the -R- cue, the only reason I was attempting to sell it was to fund he cue Joel had completed for me, but I sold a rifle instead. In 3-4 months I may test the waters again with the -R- cue and another cue...

I can't speak to this cue but I have had my Hercek for about a week now and it was built to my specs but the cue Joel made me is the most natural feeling cue I have owned and I have had some of the greats build me a cue, Gus,Barry,Schick,Bender,Kiekel,Perry Weston,Dennis Searing,Jerry R, and a...

Hey i took no fault I appricate the thoughts of others and I meant no disrespect all is well. I do understand that we are all attracted to beauty and functionality. I know id gravitate towards my Hercek over my -R- cue.

OK this is my harem as of now. Jerry R-Full Splice Joel Hercek John Bender Jerry R Tulipwood and Tasmanian Mertyl Full Spice wrapless Joel Hercek Brazilian Rosewood and Curly Maple John Bender Bastone Walnut and Waterfall Bubinga There isnt a bad playing cue in the bunch. I may have to...

Well we all have our own opinions but the ring in the butt is Ivory, one ferrule is ivory , it is a full splice blank made by Jerry and in my opinion one of the nicest full splice blanks out there due to the bottoms almost coming to a point. The woods are Tulip wood which Southwest and others...
