I have had the oppurtunity to see this cue up close and personal several times...It's one of those cues that everytime you see it you spot something new,that you missed. The detail work on the inlays is just incredable. The cue really stands out, and as all of Mike's work it's a great playing cue. Eric told Mike that he wanted him to use more gold work in the cue,along with some intricate inlays, and that is what Mike did! Built him a real stunner of a cue that plays as good as it looks, and Eric got his touch of green. Eric is a hell of a guy,and Mike just really stepped it up for him for this cue. JP
