Darrin Hill

[masonh]

I had a good experience with Darrin the other day and wanted to pass it along.i love the way his cues play and look first of all.i bought a cue here at AZ from a guy and it used to belong to Piggy Banks the pro player.anyway the rings are metal and as all metal rings they had popped through the finish over time and the cue also had a "buzz" in it somewhere around the A-joint from one of the previous owners banging it around probably and many dings.Darrin owed me a re-finish from a prior cue deal and i sent him the cue and told him about the rings,the buzz and the dings and such and told him i would pay whatever the extra is over the re-finish for the buzz and rings.i know the rings have to be sanded down and must be tedious work.anyway to make a long story short,he fixed the dings,the rings and the buzz in the A-joint and refinished the cue and also re-worked the shafts.best part is he did it all for free and this is on a 3 year old cue that has changed hands several time.you guys are always looking for new cuemakes that play good and have good customer relations,well Darrin is it.you guys need to try these cues out,best playing cues out there for the relatively new cuemakers.i just realized i put this in the wrong section.sorry guys,but this is the only section i ever vist with the rare exception of the Gallery and Cuemaker.

I bought a Darrin Hill cue from Jamie at New2YouQues.com and the shafts were much smaller than advertised, Darrin made me two new shafts to my exact specifications for free and had the work completed in under three weeks. He makes a nice cue and provides excellent customer service.

how were they advertised b/c Darrin makes them all 12.75mm now and has been for awhile.were they advertised as 13mm or 12.75mm?

I have talked to Darrin

While I havent ordered a cue from Darrin (YET), it was refreshing to talk to a cuemaker with PASSION!

Seems like a nice guy and I am sure I will playing with one of his cues soon.

Ken, that's a great point. A lot of really good cuemakers dont have a LOT of passion. And. yes, Darrin has an immense amount of passion for building cues. For that reason, I think the future is real bright for him !!
