I had my friend Dan Gallegos, from Long Beach,
build me this solid shooter from a prime dowel
of bird's eye maple I saw sitting on his shelf.
His son made the Dwell pattern butt sleeve,
but the rest of the cue was built by Dan.
They were very pleased I chose to have a family
collaboration of talents used for my custom.
Over the years, he had the benefit of learning from
many master cue builders; Schrager being most influential to my knowledge.
Dan's been considered one of the local sleeping giants
of cue making in Los Angeles for decades.
The cue feels like a neutral balance, with a softer but extremely solid hit. Great feedback from tip to handle.
Everybody that picks the cue up says it plays like they've had it for years. Just a naturally good feel to the hit.
19.5 oz. 19.5" balance point.
Ivorine 3 joint for durability, and real ivory ferrules
on all 3 old growth shafts. 11.5, 12.4, and 13mm.
Original old stock medium Moori tips.
99.9 real silver rings just because.
Smooth leather wrap.
Also, had him put my name on it :thumbup:
