My Chris Nitti gambler cue arrived today, and I have to say, Chris does absolutely fantastic work. He completely outdid himself with this cue, and I absolutely couldn't be happier with it.

Chris was an absolutely pleasure to work with, and kept me updated every step of the way in the building process.

I just wanted to personally come on here and give him a shout out for the fantastic work that he does, and the great guy that he is to work with. In a business where we've heard so many times that cue makers are ripping people off, and failing to come through on their orders, Chris has stood head and shoulders above the rest.

Anyone here who is looking to design their dream cue should look no further than Chris Nitti. He can definitely build anything you're looking for, and will do it in an amazingly professional manner.

For anyone who doesn't know, here is his website and contact information.

I have an older Nitti cue and have had Chris re-wrap (leather) and build a new shaft for it. He is so easy to deal with, easy to contact and always delivers in a timely fashion. Can't say enough good about his level of service.

I was recommended to Chris by a friend and I have my first custom on order. I can't wait til its done but have to wait a year. He only charged $100 upfront which is nice. As everyone has pointed out he is great to work with

I can't say for certain, but I would guess something simpler, without the scrimshaw, would be a shorter wait. All the inlays on mine basically had to be made from scratch.

It can take awhile......I started my cue last July and was told it should reach me next month.
Something akin to 10-11 months. The wait seems even longer when you decide to curtail
all progress photos of your cue. I feel fortunate because a year and a half would seem like
an eternity.....depending upon when you ordered the cue, it could involve a change of 2 years
chronologically from the original order date.....Wow.... it sounds even longer that way.

Believe me, you have the coolest gambler cue that I've seen. The triple 7's just set it off and it was well worth the wait.

I agree with you, coolest gambler out there for sure. It would still be a sweet cue without the triple 7's, but they definitely put it over the top.

Here are a couple more pictures with how the joint and the ring work turned out. He made sure the rings on the joint and the shaft matched up evenly, and then he rotated the suits throughout the rest of the cue. Little details like this were some of the reasons I was so impressed with working with Chris. When he made the dice for the butt sleeve, he tilted them slightly, so it appears they are tumbling, just like in the points. Another small detail was that he had all the dice throughout the cue add up to 7. :)
