One thing I told Dan was to make the points razor sharp which he did.
He is great to work with.
When he says you will get your cue at a certain time that is when you get it.
I picked mine up at his shop in Towson, MD.
The best way to order a custom cue IMO

So her is my take what feel perfect today, feel off someday soon. Why.......many reasons.
You did not sleep good night before.
You over exercised, and have sore mussels.
What it perfect one day, is not perfect the next.
Find a Cue you like, play with it, it will Groningen on you after time.

Just curious as to the timeframe at which a standard Gus cue with 2 shafts and ivory ferrules was available directly from Gus for $425? I have one from roughly 1980, and was just curious what the original owner whom I bought it from and who ordered it directly from Gus might have had to pay Gus for it? Thanks
And you got quite a fantastic cue
If you search for Gus Szamboti Legend Cuemaker on YT there is a video with Gus on a segment from a pool tournament form the early 80s it seems where Gus says a basic cue would be $325 and there is a pretty fancy Gus for Mizerak that he says would be $900
fantastic cue
I gave weight range, length, shaft size. Joint type. Design style including rings and number of points, point wood. I left the rest to the cuemaker including inlays. I wanted it to look like a cue made by each cuemaker. I chose searing, gina, mottey, prewitt, tucker. Tulip wood for searing. Snakewood for gina, amboyna burl for mottey, braz rosewood for prewitt, bacote for tucker.
Enjoyed immensely the process for each cuemaker.

That is a great way to do it and I think it results in a cue you like as well as being very representative of the cue maker.
My favorite cue design ever is a Snakewood Gina cue.

I’ll take some tonight when I get home. I assume you want to see it with the fancy shaft.
I agree, Those rings are the bomb. Also Ernie recommended i get these crown points i think thats what he called them. No ivory for me. No reverse points so i could have more snakewood.
