Chris Byrne 4 Points....Goncalo Alves into BEM Just finished and delivered at this year's Expo 2 weeks ago.
Chris is one of my favorite cue makers. I am a huge fan of everything about his cues what includes workmanship, playability and customer service. For someone who hasn't tried to built a cue it can't be easily explained difficulties and challanges you are coming across nor you would understand techniques that were used but believe me, this is something extra ordinary and highly demamding.
For those who are not familiar with his work, he has been around for years and his cues are something special and in a league of their own. The level of craftsmanship is outstanding. Finish, points, veneers, inlays work, leather job, construction.....you can't point out what is better. They are truly something special and are on par with best of the best!
At the Expo Chris delivered me 5 cues and this is the 1st out of 5.
Beside the quality that is out of this world, Chris is super nice, polite and helpful. A real old school gentleman. It has been pleasure working with him on this project and can't wait for the another one that has already started!
Chris's cues are top players too so for a reason you don't see them for sale often and in the future you will be lucky if you manage to get yourself one. His waiting list is already 8 years.
It's easy to see why his cues are hard to get, and in such demand. They play fantastic, look fabulous, and I believe they are one of the best investments in the cue market today.
