> His cues are specifically patterned after vintage Kersenbrocks/SouthWests,in that he told me himself that his taper bars were set up to match an old plain birdseye Kersenbrock,aesthetically NO one can claim he copies their designs,his ring work is pretty distinctive. The hit is real similar,pretty stiff yet crisp with decent tips on them,and most of them are weighted/balanced similar to a typical SW. There are a LOT of people in Memphis and the surrounding area that replaced their Schons,Omegas,McDaniels,and Cogs to play with them. One of his most popular cues were Dymondwood fronted cues he made just before moving to Nashville,only saw them in the cocobolo looking stuff,black rings,and killer hit. Tommy D.
