I just received this from Sicily on Friday and I must say I am quite impressed! Both in how it looks and in how it plays. Fit & finish are very good. The weight & balance are near perfect for my tastes (14.4oz butt & 3.4oz shaft) and I was able to shoot with virtually no adjustments needed...

This is the Tyrant 2. I've been impressed with Cuelees' designs for some time now, and the report is that you get great quality & detail for the price. This cue supports that report fully, in my opinion. I wish I had ordered a Cuelees sooner: I may order another in the future. It plays...

While he was putting a wrap on my Sawdust cue, he let me hit some balls on his table with some cues on the wall rack. These included a Jim Pierce cue & one from Cody Cash of PK Custom Cues (both so freaking good!), as well as a couple made by Shon himself and this cue, made by his son...

The ONLY reason I'm even asking about what I feel is probably just some old cheap cue is that many years ago I saw a picture of a cue on a cue collector page somewhere that looked remarkably similar to this one. I cannot remember the page, the maker that was listed, the value or anything other...

A silly question, perhaps, but the McDermott/Chops cue I ordered arrived today. I buy cues to play, not save, but I figure I'll wait and see what happens with this one. Should I leave it in the packaging it shipped in or would it be prudent of me to take it out and inspect it for any...

I stumbled upon Shuriken Cues (out of Ukraine) somewhere, maybe even here, and I find a lot of their designs beautiful & interesting. I was curious about them, but didn't want to spend upwards of $450 to satisfy that curiosity. Low & behold, there's an option to donate $100 to Ukraine causes...

I have this old Adam cue with a brass joint collar. This cue hits very well, but is just a tad forward balanced for my tastes. I was hoping to change things a bit by replacing the brass with something lighter. Is this feasible? If so, can anyone guess or tell me the size here and where I...

I often like different or unusual and the first collaboration between McDermott and Chops Mfg turned out a cue that impressed me in it's uniqueness. Unfortunately, I was never aware of it until years after it sold out. People were asking triple the price & more at that point. A few days ago...

I'm thinking of having a cue made similar to the one in the photo. I would like a wood that is red or reddish brown and that will hold its color for a while for the forearm & butt. The maker has said he has cocobolo, padauk, pink ivory and redheart. I know from personal experience that...

TNT Custom Cues SneakiestPete It ain't pretty and it ain't that sneaky, but I am bonding with this cue nicely. It plays beautifully, with both the stock shaft (specs said it is Kielwood) and my FUZE, and the extension that came with it is nice and quite helpful. 12.4mm Mako medium tip. Most...

I wanted to fancy-up my McDermott G210C3 a little with a nice wrap (the original linen was well done, just plain), so I reached out to PK Custom Cues after looking over some of their work on Facebook. He was very responsive (quite a few folks are NOT that responsive) and I felt good about...

I decided to post here since this isn't really a review. Also, I put real in quotes because I do have a FUZE hybris Kielwood shaft, but this is pure dark roasted maple and just seems more legit. I met Shelby Williams yesterday as I picked this up directly from him. Very nice guy! A very nice...

The 4 cues on the right are all brand new, bought this summer, and are the ones that I routinely play with. I like them all very much and would, at this time, have a hard time picking a favorite. They all play very well for me. Left to right - Tulipwood custom from Triple Cross Cues...

I just bought a new McDermott COTM (June 2024) and I really like it. Enough that I would like to customize it a little by replacing the Irish linen with a nice leather wrap. Being that it's only a $400 cue, I don't want to spend too much. Does Seybert's do good work? I'm open to other...

G210C3 aka June 2024 Cue Of The Month After selling my Lucky cue (I know, made by McDermott, but I'm not counting it), I wanted a decent butt for my inFUZEd Kielwood shaft and, since it's a 3/8x10, McDermott was a natural place to look. Frankly, there's not a lot of options in McDermott's...

After seeing a couple of Sawdust customs where I play, I was impressed with the quality of work in them, how they felt and how much you get for the money. Later that evening I visited their Facebook page to look at more examples and was again impressed. I reached out to them only to find out...

I received both at roughly the same time and have spent most of my playing with this combo. I have another cue with a radial pin and a couple of CF shafts, so there's been some swapping around. This combo yields the best synergy though, in my opinion. Everything works well together. I like...

Specifically, the DA2T. I'm considering this cue, which would be the most expensive cue I've bought to date, by at least double. I love it though, as I've wanted an ebony, white & turquoise cue for some time now. I know Pechauer is well respected here - is this cue, at $1,710, a good buy or...

I have a Tulipwood custom with a brown shark skin wrap that I think would look really good with a dark brown shaft like the one pictured on the left. I've reached out to the guy who made this one as he lives about an hour from me, but have heard nothing yet (it's through Facebook, so it may...

I jumped on board the hype train for carbon fiber break technology, albeit with a Podayude cue from Amazon. After replacing the tip with a Kamui Sai, I found it to be a pretty solid performer. However, I have this antique Adam cue (had it for over 40 years) that just wasn't getting any love...
