Barioni Cues

I picked up my Barioni Cue about 3-days ago now, I have played a couple of times with it since I received it ( 3-4 hours each time ). The finish of the Cue is perfect, clear looks amazing. I am very picky and notice everything and cant seem to find a flaw! The first couple of games I played with it I could tell right away that it was going to be easy to get comfortable. The shaft that I chose was an A++ LD Tuned Shaft, I had heard a lot about the performance of these shafts and wanted to try it out. I'm very pleased with the performance of the shaft. I have listed specs and pictures for all to see .... :thumbup:

As I play more with it I will update any info I find helpful.

Yes, very much so. The cue plays great and the quality and build are top notch. I have played with it for awhile now, I like it more everyday. This is my full time player hands down. I was playing with a KD Cue ( Dimitry K. Full Splice ) with a Predator 314 2 and that cue played great. The Barioni Tuned LD Shaft out performs the Predator IMO ... I feel there is more accuracy with that shaft, not a lot but more. I will take every little bit I can get! I also feel like the Barioni shaft has more feel, I know that's different for everyone but a lot of the LD shafts I have tried seem to lack the feel of a traditional shaft IMO. That was my biggest complaint with low end mass, I felt that you gave up something for less deflection ( imo it was feel ). I think I get the best of both with this cue and shaft combo. :thumbup:
