About Wes Hunter Cues

My first cue was a Wes Hunter, and even though I'm very happy with my current player, my Hunter is the one cue that I really regret parting ways with. His cues play on the stiff/meaty side, but not as 'crispy' as something like a Southwest. His shaft material is some of the best I've ever seen. Really tight grained dense material, so one of the things I liked about my Hunter was that I was able to turn the shafts down a bit without the shaft getting whippy.
I've always felt that his cues are so unorthodox sometimes in design, that people tend to overlook them. If he made more traditional looking cues, the quality and playability is there. Very underrated as far as I'm concerned.

They are as good as it gets when it comes to quality of craftsmanship and playability. Awesome playing cues. Sadly, I will be putting mine up for sale soon due to divorce. It has a brazilian rosewood nose and five tiger maple points and three shafts. If not for circumstances created by my impending divorce, I would NEVER part with it.
Thanks for the feedback. That's inline with what i've been hearing, i just don't know much about him so i'm fishing for more info. Thanks again.
I have had 6 Wes Hunters, they all play great. I still have my first one and it is my player, the best cue I have ever had. I have bought and sold many cues trying to
get something better, but there is no way you are going to get a better built, better
playing cue then a Wes Hunter. I have bought new shafts from him and weight bolts also. He has always been great to deal with. Do you get the feeling I like his cues?

He sells a lot to folks overseas. His cues are highly-wanted from Asia.
He has a website: http://www.hunterclassics.com/cues/cuephotos.html
His cues are top notch quality. Anyone that ever has a chance to get their hands on one of his cues loves the way it hits and the details he puts in them.
hunter classic
I bought a Hunter recently and really like the way it plays. Quality is excellent. Love his ringwork. He seems to be very underrated and I can't figure it out.

Well guess who got me into thinking on hunter cues...yeah that's the guy..
I should be heading to NC within the next 2 months, let's shoot some then.
whoever that person might be get you thinking about Hunter cue maybe you should thank him for introducing you to a great cue maker. LOLZ
what else is popping in your end ?
I'll forgive that guy for getting me addicted to cues if he sends me the AP RB2 he has in his avatar! haha I still love u buddy!
Wife just brought me the new AP Royal Oak Survivor limited edition & waiting for it to arrive next week. maybe I MIGHT sell you the AP RB II & let you finance it with 24 month payment plan. hows that sound ? lolz
...not cool buddy....first the cues now the watches...I want the AP ROO Survivor...that's a sick ass watch. The RB2 is my all time fav ROO absolute classic...you're payment plan sounds bloody enticing buddy...haha you have me working my a$$ for cues and now watches?? Honestly you should keep the RB2, it's in short supply and always sought after...appreciates quite a bit too...
Hey Jive...I have a Bacote sneaky that Wes made for me, and the cue plays great..If I remember correctly (not sure on this) Wes offers 2 different shaft tapers..I went with his standard taper which is a beefier thicker taper that plays really stiff....Most of the cues I've seen carry a Southwestern flavor (not Southwest cues) which makes sense beings he is in New Mexico..

Jive they play very good. I sold one to a good friend of mine that wanted it very bad and Did not want to and should not have sold it. Wes delivered on time also and was very easy to work with. I remember a guy beat me out of some cash in Illinois in 99 and asked to hit some ball with his cue afterwards. It played identical to the Rick Howard that I used at the time. He is definitely one the cuemakers that flies under the radar and deserves way more recognition than he gets.
