I just recieved a bluegrass in the mail today from gunshot that I won in the raffle. and holy crap! this thing hits amazing! well of course to me. anyways the hit is stiff and super consistent, which is exactly what i am looking for. The pictures in the raffle makes the cue look normal but im going to post up better ones, and man it looks 1000 times better in person! the birdseye in it is crazy and the bocote can draw your attention miles away. but the hit is the best part, and the shaft is so damn smooth! im excited this will be my player cue for a long long time. ill post up pictures a bit later
