Thanks I will try and contact Mike and request a quote on something similar. I have only played with a ray schuler and Olivier cue. How do mikes cues play? Also would be interested in possibly a cognoscenti, bobby hunter, and hercheck. I live in the Chicago land area. So these cue makers are pretty close to me with hercheck being the closest. Almost next township close. I really like the aesthetics of the cue process this is going to be my Player I would like A very good playing cue as well.
