I like the way the handle extension was done as well- at first glance it looks like it does not take a handle, but then when you see the handle, it is immediately apparent how it fits.
The cue is already at home and played by my daughter.
This is the awesome player as avery cue from Dmitry I have tested or played. Its pretty light (18oz), head balanced (50cm from butt end) and quite stiff. The new taper is very good to minimize deflection.
