You can choose your joint,ferrule and from several different shaft constructions.Bob makes everything himself except the joint pins & standard ferrules.He's a class AAA machinist , excellent pool player and very meticulous!Before he began building cues he played with a schon so the hit is similar. Made by hand is always the best.Prices are too low for now but I'm sure they will rise as more people try his cues.
