How is the playability with these cues, the craftmanship looks awsome, but curious as to how they play.

Arnot lives in Florida and makes a decent hitting cue. He may be better known for teaching upcoming cuemakers. The cues are popular in his area, however you will be hard pressed to sell one outside of Florida. Since you are surrounded by a ton of great cuemakers up there in Illinois, I would recommend looking closer to home.
You're on the right track...at least you aren't thinking about buying a Sterling!
Never played with one. Visiting the Arnot website, it seemed that he has some pretty fixed opinions about taper, tip, balance, etc. So, if a player buys one of his cues, it will be to Arnot's complete design. I'm not saying this is bad, just something the customer should be aware of.
I owned one for a rew months. It hit well, but I sold it to fund a Sw purchase. I purchased mine for 600 and sold it for under 500. My reccomendation would be to be patient and find one used to buy. You might take a hit when and if you decide to sell it. Arnot does offer a 3 day return policy on cues he has in stock, so you can try it out and return it if you dont like it.
Just a little info that I wish I had before buying a cue!!

His cues have my vote.....
I'm also a Floridian, Only thing to do Is play pool, Golf, Surf and Fish.
I have gotten the chance to use two of his cues. I like the hit, Keep inmind I have been using a Joss and Schon for the past few years.
I think he is still in Lakeworth? I'm going to see if he could make me a Sneaky Pete for my birthday.
Very rarely have I Found a used cue of his forsale.......

Hi ,
I owned 2 Cues and a Break-Cue from Arnot and the Hit is very solid-hits like a Truck with the normal Shaft. I not like the Terminator Shaft.If you want a solid hitting Cue,buy.

Hi Poolplayer,
My Arnot's has regular Shafts but the Breakcue has a T3 Shaft and all is radial Pin,so I can change all Shafts and tested was is the best for me.
For Breaking is the T3 Shaft the best bit for playabily is the normal Shaft the best.
I hope this helps.

i actually ran into some guy here in my town with an arnot. i'm going to try to run into him again and see if i can hit a few with one. i've been eyeing his cues for a while. he has a lot of really nice cues
I've hit with a couple of his cues and I think they play very well...good solid hit. And his T3 shafts are lower deflecting than standard shafts, IMO. If you see one you like, go for it. You won't be disappointed. Plus, Arnie takes great pride in his work.juniorchamp_ktm said:
I suppose I might be over critical, but I have an Arnot jump/break and I would not recommend one. It plays fine, but for the price, there are much better values to be had.
I'm no longer a fan of custom cues these days, either. It seems to me that they all run a high cost for quality that is below that of some production cues...
