Very good construction. I have one for sale at the moment, a nice pointed veneered cue. It has a radial G-10 epoxy pin. Hit is solid and crisp. The only poor note for the few cues he has made from my standpoint is that the finish is not polished as nicely as others that I have. I don't know if it is the finish itself or just a lack of buffing. they are strong players, but won't hold their retail value well, like many, many other customs. Mine sold new last year for $1000 and I am asking $650 and people aren't knocking my doors down to get it.
