Earlier this week, I received my 1993 Bill Schick cue back from Mike Webb who did an excellent job refinishing it. Nothing was wrong with the cue except that I had worn off the finish in some places leading some of the rings to tarnish. Mike does great ring work and this cue is a testament to the quality he provides. I could not be happier. Also, thanks to Ryan Theewen (RAT Cues) for supplying enough of his older linen for the rewrap. Modern linen would have looked good enough. But this older linen has the right amount of extra character. Mike's rewrap is pressed and maintains great texture - not slick.
According to Bill, this would have been one of only a dozen or so rosewood cues he had built by that time; everybody wanted ebony back then. All four shafts were made by Bill; two are original and two were made when I bought the cue in 1997, all shafts are straight as is the butt. For my style of play, it has been the best hitting cue I have ever had the pleasure of playing with. I know you have heard that before. But everybody has a favorite and this is mine. Many thanks to Mike for putting so much care into revitalizing this cue.
