I have 3 cues at the momant a Searing a JR-Full Splice and an Eddie Farris. None of these cues is over the top in the regard of being fancy, although I feel they are all very becoming to look at. Of the 3 the cue I receive the most comments on the appearence of is the Eddie Farris, people love Maple. I am fortunate as all of these cues play well, but different tips, id be hard pressed to choose between them. Still although it is probably the least involved of the cues I receive more comments on the Eddie Farris curly maple than the other two.
