A decent player, and his first custom

nice cue's / i like your better without blue dots and diamond but to each their own . It still is a nice looking cue and the pics are very nice.
 
Congrats on the cue , hope it's all you want it to be. :)

Umm. . . I guess I'm going to be the first a$$ to ask this but . . . did you slot the diamonds with a sharpie ?

Sorry if I missed something. :o

I'm almost ashamed to ask that , sorry. Just looks funny in the pics.
 
After seeing how beautiful the ebony and curly is, I probably shouldnt have gotten anything inlayed into it. Jim pulled two great pieces of ebony and curly IMHO. But I'm still very happy, my first custom and built how I wanted. This wont be the last cue I build through Jim either.

My nephew will REALLY be happy come Saturday. I'm trying mine out tomorrow, along with the Laser Rack:embarrassed2: :grin:

Sorry I missed your post but just now seen it. You would have to ask Jim that question, as I didnt build this cue-just designed it. Me and Jim have talked and he didnt like the way the inlays came out so we are good on that no problem. It still doesnt stop the way this cue shoots. It took me a day or two to get used to it, but after that I've shot REALLY well with his cue. I WILL buy another cue from Jim Lee, thats a given. My next one will look like Danktree's cue except I'll have different rings and possibly a different handle. It will look alot like the one Wolfgang Souqet cue that was on the boards not too long ago...
 
Jim says there is no way the notches are from a Sharpie. They are notched into the inlay (I guess thats how its done).

Cool , no biggie.

It's just usually not done after the install of the inlay and I guess it's not common for the notches and dots to be so irregular. Could be the lighting I guess.

I'm sure it adds character either way. ;)

Enjoy you new cue. No harm meant I promise , just stupid curiousity.


:thumbup:
 
Yes they were alittle off in about two places. Jim has offered me a settlement on my next cue (hey I still love the hit to it) that I agree too and will use when I order another one soon. My next one wont have inlays not because of Jim, but because I've never had a cue without inlays.
 
After 2 weeks with the cue I still love the hit to it. This baby shoots lights out to me and thats the most important thing to me. Looks I can adjust to but not a bad hit. The H2 tip was the first time I've ever tried one of their tips and they make a good one IMO so far. It hits very well and I like the stiff hit of the Ivorine ferrules (even though I'm still getting used to the grain in it). This has been a perfect comb for me and I've shot real well on the 8 footers with it. I might try it out on some barboxes tonight and hopefully a 9 footer soon.

All in all with the inlays there were only a few minor issues with the inlays and miscommunication between us as well. But if I'm not mistaken this was the first cue he inlayed in a long time as well so I'm sure he was rusty. But I'm not griping as I love the cue and I love the hit to it. 10 out of 10 for me on the hit.:grin:
