Custom sneaky style cue (made from a Mark Bear blank)

[justinb386]

I just wanted to show pictures and a video of my new cue, and get honest opinions about what you think of the 2 woods that were put together (by Mark Bear) to make the original blank, that was used to make the cue in the pictures that I added.

I am just curious about opinions on the looks of the cue, because I have never seen this type of combo (Bocote into Rosewood) used in a sneaky style cue before.

Thanks for any honest opinions about the cue (I like to know what others think about the looks of cues that I shoot with).

By the way, the cue was not made by Mark Bear. The cue was made by a different cue maker, who used a Mark Bear blank to make the cue.

I do not know what happened with the blank, but it appears that the ends of 2 of the points are missing (which is kind of a bummer, but no big deal).

I really love the way the cue hits, and it feels really great, and has a very nice balance to it I think.

The pictures are pretty bad, so I uploaded a video that I took of the cue (to show the woods up close).

Thanks for looking.

That's waaay bad that the ends of 2 points are missing. That's gonna throw the whole cue off balance. You might try evening it out by having them in the same position in relation to 12 o'clock high noon. Otherwise send it to the cuemaker and have him round out all the points even. Then on the other hand you could just sell the cue at a small loss. BTW,maybe it's just the angle of the pic but I seem to detect a bit of rollout in the forearm/joint !!!
