BUTTERFLY EFFECT CHALLENGE - fullsplice cue for donation

I had sorta forgotten about this when a long skinny package showed up on my doorstep today. Remembered as soon as I saw it was from Ukraine. The cue is absolutely beautiful, Anton does great work. Can't wait to hit some balls with it.

I received mine, #76 back in early April and was immediately very impressed with the cue. It really is a beautiful cue and I am happy that I participated. I have been shooting with it a little here and there and love the feel, sound, balance etc. I am considering coming up with a design to have Anton custom build me one to my specifications. Very impressed with the quality for such a deal. Thank you Anton!

My number "85" showed up around the same time yours did. Everything looks great. The pin is drilled slightly off center so shes got a pretty big hop when you roll it. No biggie, she is great for a guest cue and is a cool conversation piece.

The custom Shuriken I got is laser straight and plays great.

The weather is way too hot and nasty to venture out so I am at home going through my cues and the one which keeps calling to me and I find myself assembling, again and again, is my Butterfly Challenge. It took some time to get the cue, have Anton produce a set of joint protectors, and, finally, find, order, and receive the exactly correct case, but now, at last, I can simply relax and enjoy it.

However, the final details in this matter still elude us -- victory and peace in Ukraine. I continue to pray, and write my one sane senator, Roger Wicker. I feel more and more certain every day that, ultimately, Putin will be defeated, but every day Ukraine suffers, I suffer with her. I ask all of you to pray in your preferred manner and encourage you to write your senators as often as you feel it is needed. All power and glory to Ukraine, may she stand free and unvanquished forever!

I got my cue from Anton today. It took 12 days. I may be ordering another. Beautiful. I wish they had one with a sunflower....dipped in orc's blood.
 
Once again, a change in the weather has caused me to get my Butterfly Challenge Cue out -- it is cold outside, not half as cold as putin's atrophied excuse for a heart but cold enough to remind me of the circumstances facing our friends in Ukraine. But my purpose of picking up this machine was to write about a cue . . .

This cue is an incredible piece of work. But its real significance lies in the emotional response it evokes in me. For so many reasons this cue remains a clear favorite . . . any of you who has not done so already should order one. Today.
 
I agree with you Biloxi. I received #76 from Anton some time ago. While its not my main player, I do find myself picking it up often and shooting a few racks. Its a great hitting cue for sure. Wish I knew what tip was on it.

Now I need to grab mine. I Iron-Cheffed mine (Brandon Jacoby did) into something spectacular.
