Chuck Starkey

A while back I bought a Brunswick butterfly conversion from Chuck Starkey. I was curious as to how the wood pin would feel and I was so impressed that I decided to order another shaft for it. The new shaft I ordered was a 30" no-ferrule shaft. Chuck really encourages people to try the no ferrule and I'm glad I did. It really has a solid hit and moves the cue ball effortlessly. I also had him build an extension for the butt of the cue and he did a great job with that too.
Chuck's cues are excellent and his customer service is held to the same standard. On my new shaft there was a small flaw and he took care of it no questions asked, and he threw me a little bonus gift just for the trouble. He went above and beyond to make sure I was happy with my purchase. If anyone is on the fence about trying the wood pin or no ferrule I say give it a shot. You won't be disappointed.

thank you big time

it is really nice to find a buyer that understands that builders are NOT GODS, and we DO make mistakes. yes i sent a 2nd shaft that was not right, i screwed-up.
the buyer was understanding enough to be calm and nice about the whole thing. he sent me the cue and shaft back, i decided not to try tro FIX, the problem, but just made him a new shaft, after all thats what he ordered. it took a couple days longer, but now everything is right.

sommers is a standup guy and very easy to deal with, i welcome him back anytime.
