The razor-wire ringwork was surprisingly small. It's not perfect, but it's close enough that I'm extremely happy with the overall cue. I'm going to take it out tomorrow for a few hours... it should play well with the G-10 and purpleheart core :)

The deflection is ridiculously small. I'm having to readjust from my OTHER ferrule-less shaft (on an OB-108 butt with a pressed triangle) that was already pretty low. The shaft I'm tending towards has a Kamui Black Hard (the other is a Tiger Emerald), and the action is effortless. I have to check myself to make sure I don't put too much english on the CB. The emerald shaft plays very well too, but doesn't have the effortless action.

I am one seriously happy dude :D

I asked for 11.9mm shafts, so I'm assuming that's what I got. I haven't measured them yet, and I honestly don't really care. It's naturally weighted/balanced, and it feels good :)

Congrats on the smokin hot cue! Ryan does a lot of cue work for me, and he never disappoints. Rat cues are definitely climbing up the list of nice players, enjoy.
