Hi all,
Just wanted to share a couple of pics of my new BCM Cue. Bryan's work just gets better and better. This one has a solid ivory joint, ivory ferrules, and of course an ivory Hoppe ring.
The points are long, even, and razor sharp, and have clean veneers in black, dark blue, purple, and natural that compliment the ebony points nicely. Bryan has added his railroad track rings and also bordered the Hoppe ring with two thin silver rings, which add a nice little glint to the cue under the pool table lights. The wrap is solid black linen and is so tight and smooth that almost everyone that sees it thinks it's leather. Bryan's attention to fit and finish are very evident on this cue!
The cue plays every bit as good as it looks! The ivory softens the hit and gives it a nice feel. There is less felt reverberation to the hands and the cue has nice tonal qualities. I usually play with a steel jointed cue, but after about an hour of hitting balls with the cue, I felt totally comfortable with it. There is no whippiness to it at all. It is reminiscent of a the hit I used to get with a Cantando sneaky I owned for awhile.
If you haven't tried a BCM, I would highly recommend it. You get a lot of bang for your buck and Bryan's a great guy to work with!
