I know...I know... I was sure this was going to be my last cue for a while, but that never happens. some of my shafts got wet at the state tournament (not these ones) so I bought a bob frey SP while waiting for them to dry out. turns out...I like the way the frey plays and prefer that cue over this, not that there is anything wrong with it. I'm willing to let go of my latest custom made DZ cue with the 1 original shaft (only the tip got wet and had to replace it) for $550 or I'll do $650 w/ 2 shafts with triumph tips. this cue is marked 05' as it was bought somewhere around november or LATE october. I'll consider trades also, but would rather have the cash. it's a shame to let it go because it really is a pretty cue, but I can't bring myself to own something and not use it...so I guess it's time to make room for something I'll use more often than once a month. a brief description for those who don't know: s/s joint, nice curly maple forearm w/ 4 ebony points w/ yellow, red, black veneers,a "bushka" trim ring between forearm and wrap, black LEATHER wrap, ebony buttsleeve w/ white hoppe ring and small black buttcap. no inlays. I'll try to post pics later.

this piece of junk cpu I use won't let me post pics. it keeps beeping at me.

I found the pics in the cue gallery. they should be on the first page or two as I posted to bring them up.

I like the fact there is NO weight bolt in mine, and the shaft feels like it's pretty stiff. I don't know what kind of tip it has, but it plays nice and gets alot of english when needed.
 
Here are the links for the pictures:

well...I sent $170 via paypal to "scruggsinhand" for the predator shaft that's like new so I'm going to hold off on selling this cue until I try the shaft with it. I have to do something to try to rekindle my fondness for this cue because it was my design and it is pretty. this will be my first predator shaft so we'll see if I even like them. I'm also going to try changing my tips to see what effect that has...if any. thanks for the replies guys/girls

well...paypal transaction is complete, so I'm just waiting to hear from him. he's supposed to contact me today and let me know he sent me the shaft. I'll let you all know about this transaction and wether or not I like predator shafts. I used my DZ cue last night for an 8-ball tournament, and even though I ended up one out of the money, I enjoyed playing with my cue. for the most part, I allowed myself to be beaten, until (you know who you are) beats me in the losers bracket by running 2 straight on me. I was a little miffed, but what can ya' do??

anyone seen "scruggsinhand"????? he should have contacted me by now. is he working 2nd shift? I know I've seen him on after I get out of work, and so far...no word. not getting antsy, but would like to know why no word. all I ever see is how good a guy he is to deal with, so I'll assume he kept his word and sent it. maybe I'll see something after work tomorrow.:confused: :confused:

I have a Frey SP and like it a lot. I think the standard trip is triangle.
 
ok

thats what I've been told, but I have some sort of "mental" issue with triangle tips and can't play with them, so I'll believe it's something else. lol:D thanks
 
when?

I was told in a pm that I should have the shaft monday (today). well...no shaft and tracking number doesn't even tell me where it is...it says something about delivery can't be confirmed....:confused: I have used usps alot in the past and never have seen a tracking number say this. anyone else?
