Jeff, Chuck, Will, Chady, Chris, and Ralph - Thanks for the nice comments.
Jamie - I would tell you this is my long term player, but you have all heard that from me too many times for the phrase to not ring hollow:embarrassed2::embarrassed2::embarrassed2:
Ralf - I cannot really judge the hit fairly against the Mobley yet as I only used the Mobley with a Predator shaft and it played great. I don't have a Predator to match up to the Barenbrugge so I am using his shafts and while it took driving a few balls directly into the rail after about 8 hours of play I am feeling pretty confident with the cue. Both cues are extremely solid, I would say the Mobley was just a little thicker than I like in an everyday playing cue so the slimmer Barenbrugge cue feels a little better in my hand.
Thanks Again everyone for the nice comments, lets see how long I keep this one. I do like that it is not real fancy.
Take Care
