I have two of his Ebay cues and one earlier custom. The main difference is the quality of the inlay work and sharpness of details.
There has been a debate within our circles about whether he should be put into one of the Cuemakers Hall of Fames. Those in favor site the fact he has built many more cues than almost all the other customer cuemakers that are in. The negative side says he had some bad business practices that gave him a bad name among some. But I once asked him if he regretted going ebay route and he just said "I am still here and still getting the same paycheck as before." He was no longer going to be able to make a full time living at the rate his high end cues were selling through dealers for. So he made lower end cues with simple big radius inlays and let the market decide what they would sell for on ebay. It was great for the players and bad for his older dealers. So if the public were able to vote him in would they or would they not?
