In the early '90 to mid '96 I used to write a monthly article for a now defuncted Regional Billiard Magazine "The Player" published by Connie Williams, Jerry Swift, and Swift Printing out of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. We also { Swift Printing, Jim McDermott,Mike Bretts, and Myself } held the first Toys 4 Tots Pool Tournament at Tulsa Billiards Room " The Tulsa Billiard Palace" and later at "Magoo".
What does this have to do with Crown Cues, and coming Full Circle? Simple 12 years later I found the best hitting 100% Performance Player Cue
from the same town that brought me Joy into the Billiard World, of Writing and Billiard, "BROKEN ARROW, OKLAHOMA" Full Circle!

Believe me, this picture doesn't do justify to the wood grains or true color. This cue more Beautiful in person. The Maple Burl you would find on more expensive cue in the $800 plus range. View the LOA for Spec.
I don't know how Gene combine the Handle, Butt Sleeve, and Forearm. Whether with wood thread joint or metal pin, even if he use a weight bolt. But the balance is so natural [ 18" from bumper] I think it a one piece cue I holding.
It hit is firm but soft and stiff [ the way I like it]. No Click or Thud. Just the Crackling of balls falling into pocket.
The design of the cue is simple, but elegency. The Crown butt plate design add exquisite to the already elegency cue. As my wife stated it may be a crown for a man, but it could be my tiara.
Gene, might be unrated or not well known in the cue world. But his cue are 100% Player Cue and his price are well below what they should be price. Giving time they will be.
Thank Gene for making a player cue, now I can retire my Dieckman!
The one mistake or question I fail to ask : Is when I want another shaft does the butt need to be sent or are your diameter the same?
Don't forget you also get a loa. Both Gene and his wife Renee' are some of the finer people to work with.
