Two Words:
AWESOME PLAYER !!!!
I'll post up a full review of the cue (tip to bumper) a bit later, when I have some more free time to sit down and type...but I will leave it at this for now: The cue Mr. Patrick made for me has a fantastic hit. I'd define it as "medium" in stiffness. Not too hard, and not at all mushy. The taper he uses is fantastic. A real "player's" taper.
I liken the hit to a flat-faced Jensen cue...and is also VERY similar to the cocobola BlueGrass cue I had last year.
All in all, the cue is VERY impressive...and Doug is a great guy to work with. He even shipped the cue to me via express mail, so I wouldn't have to wait another day to get it.
Two thumbs up for Doug. Thank you, sir!!!!! You put all the playability of a $1k cue into a $320 bundle. Can't argue with that at all!!
