I was at that dinner. It was a pleasure breaking bread with the two of you. I hope all is well with you sir.
On a second note. Richards cues are some of the best players out there. They play effortless. I've got one in my Arsenal that I will never part with.
CopyCat!
Ummm, you copied my cue! :wink: I seem to have your twin!
I recently bought a BG cue about six months ago and have sadly set aside my SW and Tasc, gasp. I never thought I would consider selling those cues, but Richard's cue has ruined those cues for me. Eric suggested I consider trying a BG while I wait for his to be finished (I prefer a stiff hitting cue), and he was right on in the playability of Richard's cues. I wish Richard would consider building 60" or 62" cues since that's what I usually play with, but he has refused and explained that his cues have a particular balance and playing characteristic that is lost when they get past 59". It may also be that it's a headache for him to make a longer cue, but that's fine. I'm learning to adjust because the cue hits so well. I also was impressed that Richard lined up the "eyes" of cocobolo in the forearm and butt, and he appears to have done the same in your cue too. Maybe that is a common practice but it just lends itself to the detail that players sometimes overlook in the construction of a cue. I'm sure I have missed many other details....
Enjoy your cue!
