Beautiful collection. If possible, could you give us some close ups? At least of the Southwest(s)!

This is all I have time for today and I'm sorry for the delay in posting these(I took these as they were posted). But I will post more cues another day and thanks for the postive comments.

(excuse my beat up old lathe in the background)

I love the plain jane SW. I actually have one coming to me soon from Bryan Mordt(BCM) that is almost identical. Love the simplicity.

I am sure you will enjoy the cue very much. It took a while to find one that was plain(without the rings that most of the plain have). It weighs 19.1oz and has 13mm shafts with hercules tips. I don't like moori at all.

I like the plain cue because people don't pay attention to it and most wouldn't know what it was anyway. I replaced my break cue with a Josey sneaky pete for the same reason. I have cues that you haven't seen that cost ton$ and as far as shooting goes the SW beats them all by a mile.

Have fun and I hope you like that one as much!
