I'm glad that you bought this cue because I was fighting pulling the trigger on it myself. It's a beautiful cue made by, in my opinion, the most under rated cue maker building cues today. Just look at the many original designs Bob uses in his cues and the top notch workmanship and you'll see what I mean and this cue is a prime example of Bob's work. I've owned a number of Bob's cues and I was pleased with all of them and I have an ebony on ebony Runde cue now that i'm very proud of. The prices Bob's cues sell for versus other top tier cue makers makers his cues one of the best buys in the cue world.
