The cue in the center is a very pretty cue I have seen it up close and it really looks very , very nice and has purpled up well again a very nice looking cue and you cannot beat the hit you get from that Purple Heart wood .... The J/B hits like a sledge hammer and there is something about that Purple heart shaft that makes it break better then most break sticks I have seen... Not sure if it is the stiffness of it or just the hit of the Purple heart but that things can destroy a rack....
I agree on the corian I am not a big fan of it either though it does play well the two tone look does not do it for me either... Still if your looking for something to sneak into a club and play with the playability is there in this cue ... Keep it up Jeff your work keeps getting better and better...
