Really?!
Punchout, had I not read the rediculous thread in which you were arguing whther or not it was ethical to make ring work to match other peoples cues for predator shafts, I probably wouldn't even say anything here. Fortunately for jameson, I did. Look buddy, the listed the cue for sale on the internet for sale in a forum where there are people typically knowledgable of the products listed. Do yourself a favor, and this regards future products you're unfamiliar with in the future. If you're going to ask such a broad question that would require such an opinionated answer, why in the world wouldn't you do a little reasearch yourself. Its not like it would be THAT much of an inconvenience. I mean... you are already on the internet when you found this were you not?

sorry guys but I get questions like these all the time regarding the cues I have listed and it's really tiring.
"HOW does the cue play?"... well I'll tell you what, buy it and find out lol. I had to!
OR you could do some unbiased research of YOUR OWN and look around the internet for what multiple people have said about it... Not just me, the seller! LOL
Quit being so lazy guys!

NEW!!! The Dieckman shaft has arrived! Read how it tested out!
In January of 2006 I decided to see how much a shaft from a custom cue maker would cost and how much better it was than shafts from production houses. After an extensive search through all the cue makers in my link list, it was clear that Dennis Dieckman (Dieckman Cues) provided the most complete explanation of how he selects shaft wood, ages it, and slowly (over a period of years) turns it into a shaft. I contacted him and after several conversations he helped me decide on the best shaft for me. Once this was done, he checked his stock of nearly-complete shafts and suggested two that sounded like they'd fit my needs. After another discussion we decided on a proto-shaft made from 10-year wood (related to the fineness of the grain structure). He said it would take 6-months for the final turnings, aging, and finishing. When I asked how much it would cost I was amazed that it was less than what many production companies charge for their shafts.
The shaft arrived ahead of schedule heavily padded inside doubled-boxes to keep it safe. It was in perfect condition and even came with two extra water buffalo leather tips.
So how good is this shaft by Dennis Dieckman? Simply put, it is without question the finest shaft I have ever seen, measured, or handled. The warp is less than 0.001-inches. This is so straight that it challenged my ability to measure it. In fact it's more likely that what I measured has more to do with the inaccuracies of my equipment or technique. That anyone is able to achieve this high a quality starting with a piece of natural product is unbelievable.
The wood itself is perfectly straight-grained the entire length of the shaft.
The greatly-magnified image above of the shaft taken near the tip shows a grain count of 10 layers over a 13mm diameter. (I had to turn it into a black-and-white image and increase the contrast to make the grains visible. In person they are so fine and uniform that they are almost impossible to see.) This works out to an incredible 20 grains per inch. This means that the tree from which this piece of wood came from grew very slowly and evenly, ideal for the highest quality shaft. What this proved to me was that not only is Mr. Dieckman a first-class artisan, he also knows good wood when he sees it.
All this sounds great but how does the shaft feel and play? The combination of the shaft and tip are perfect for me in that they provide a very solid, mellow sensation when stroking the cue ball. It fills me with a sense of confidence that I've never felt with any other shaft. I couldn't be more pleased with the shaft and if I ever need another one I will purchase it only from Dennis Dieckman.

Brents cue...lol... that was so funny. We sold it to him and then...
Barry did his balancing act...He can put a chair on his face, and balance it for those of you who don't know him..In order to demonstrate how good he was he asked Brent for his brand new Dieckman cue. To show how much trust he had from Brent...
Brent just bought that cue not 2 min later Barry had it up on his nose balancing it...and then...
Brent didn't own the cue for 2 min, and Barry had thown it ten foot into a glass case nearly killing everyone around us...lol It smashed into a table and dinted the shaft Brent was stuck his boss had just taken his brand new toy and...classic
You got to remember that...ask Brent next time you see him. I'll bet his story is better...It was his cue. I did just get a good laugh remembering that.

Quit being so lazy guys!
first of all, I did read the many random facts and wizardly coo Coo stuff on dieckman's website. I was just inquiring about what makes his cues in such high demand since I have never seen one posted for sale in 4 years of posting on this site. In regards for attacking me about a thread nearly a year old? Get a life loser......
Believe it or not I posted this question to help the seller and other knowledgable members help sell this cue while providing some insider knowledge this forum is synonymous for...

awesome, thanks for the positive response!
You just answered your own question...What makes them so great is that they are very great cues and very rare to see them being sold. Supply and demand.
You have been on AZB for 4 years never seen one sold.
Thanks again.
Believe it or not Dieckman is humble on his website...
I'm going to play pool now see you guys later...Thanks for your informative post Bob very nice read.
Days??? I started selling it today.
The reason it is down from 7500 to 4000 is "me" no other reason. It was given to me so I chose the price bro that is why. I want it to sell soon that is why it is lower than he would like it to be...And don't worry I'm sure Dieckman is mad at me for lowering the value like I did....Hopefully China doesn't do that with our three trillion dollar debt...lol off topic.
I am selling it for two reasons
My wife is graduating from college. I have a surprise party going, but no real nice gift. This sale would help me out.
The second...I don't want to put the cue up in storage. I am negotiating contracts with a different company, so I wont have a choice.
Help me out, buy my cue...I already set the price right. 704-624-0647

Man I have a blast at Allen's Show every year, this year is no exception. I missed a lot of people this year..
BTW, Jameson, can you explain to me why he chose this particular color scheme?
He is almost crazy that is what I have figured out...SO, anything you see on his cues represents that.
It has a G-10 joint in it now. The pics show a radial pin so I thought I would mention it.

thanks for replying buddy, but the question was more or less mimicking punchout's horrible question. When I hung out with Adrian Viguera (on multiple occasions) he spoke VERY highly of Dennis' cues and is a huge fan of his work. For as talented at both cue building and playing 3-cushion billiards as adrian was/is, his opinion on dennis alone tells me the instruments he builds are very special. Good luck with the sale sir. ANY serious collector would pick this cue up asap if they knew what was good for them...
First of all I am not modern, but am an old fart having been screwing around with cues since the early 1970's [probably before you were born].
Just ask one of your modern cue builders how old his shaft wood is. When I send a cue out, the shaft wood is now approaching 20 years from the tree.
Also ask him/her how many others he has helped over the years in their quest to learn how to build cues. My total is over 500 and growing. Many of the "moderns" have even sought my help.
Go to my web site where you will find no shopping cart, no VISA but if you probe its depths it might take you 60 hours to study it all.
Thank you....in fact I am working on a cue right know for Adrian as the first one I made him was stolen from him. To have another cue builder ask you to build him playing cue is always an honor.
well... I gues there IS some credibility to the things I say
you're welcome dennis. Good to hear you're back to building cues again.
