Art vs Playability

[01rkclassic]

Why can't a cue be both? Here are my cues and ALL get played with.

Beautiful veneer work:

Non CNC inlays:

Incredible ringwork:

Incredibly figured wood:

Damn Chris I think I just wet myself!

I commissioned this cue 2.5 years ago...and incredible player, and not too shabby on the eyes, either.

First and foremost, I think a cue should play well. That said, I like pretty things and can appreciate things from basic players with great wood to the uber-fancy art cues. I prefer cues with classic lines and I like to put a little spin on classic designs. Here is my JMW cue and it plays great:

I'm a player,so I prefer a real players cue,but I do need it to look good.I've had a few,Scruggs,Richard Black,Mike Webb,etc....I have found from my experience that you can have the best of both worlds.All you have to do is order a Pete Omen,or a Lambros
