I would first like to say that Bill Shubert is a real gentleman, he treats you more like a friend than a customer. Here is a link to the cue I purchased; http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=287737. The cue's construction and finish are first rate, I was really impressed. It has a nice solid hit with great feedback. Anyone in the market for a new cue should seriously consider one of his cues, you won't be dissapointed.
