Really pissed me off when I had to return one of my new customs just finished at the end of May.
I won't mention the cue-maker since I like him way too much to condemn him on Az or elsewhere.

The specifications I provided were down to the tiniest detail from the actual design to different weight & sizes.
I couldn't have been more exact or absolutely crystal clear about the cues specs except for one simple aspect.

He sent me a left-handed cue & I forgot to tell him I'm right handed. I'm trying to adjust to the cue but it is tough.
Vertical English is unchanged but Horizontal is the opposite so I use reverse instead of running English for shape.


Man, I screwed up big time by not reminding him I'm right handed so my cue-maker is making me a new cue.
In hindsight, perhaps I should have gotten a CC cue built for ambidextrous play unlike my customs that aren't.

Obviously you learned an important lesson.

I think very often players just don't understand the nature of this problem.

In any case, this spectacular cue is also ambidextrous?


Bravo! :thumbup:

There was a CC Bushka design cue on the Forum back in late 2014.....it had a white joint......don't know if it was ivory.
Regardless, the execution and color scheme was just spectacular & it had CL #9 too .....the fancy etched MOP diamonds
were just straight edge sharp as could be & jet black ebony points flanked by fantastic black,orange, green & natural veneers.

Absolutely a can't take your eyes off of it type cue......in genuine hindsight, sure wish I had gotten it.

I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous.

Lol, you guys are very funny.

How do I delete? I did a double post?

Love my Carolina! Wouldn't get rid of mine for all the tea in China. I have owned dozens of cues and my carolinas have always just played unreal. Such a precise hit, even there standard shafts are so good with minimum deflection. Great firm hot. And the quality is top notch. I have two Carolinas, when I see one for sale which is rare I try to jump on it. It is a shame Trever no longer makes cues. Good luck with it and thanks for showing us!

I remember that cue! Friggen gorgeous! Did it have a hairline fracture in the ivory joint? If so it was so pretty.

Some really good stand up material In this thread!!
