Finally taking the time to post a full review of my newest DZCue from Bob Dzuricky. This may get long winded; sorry in advanced.

I contacted Bob around Christmas time last year about another cue build. I sent him an itemized list of everything I wanted. And much like before, Bob said, "No problem." Well.....almost; I was having some problems in my veneer selection. Bob kept his patience with me, and after several emails I was set. Original build was: stitched maple trim at the joint, 1/2in SS joint, Curly Maple forearm, 4 Ebony points with veneers (black, green, light blue and white with black paper divisions), White/Green Blue Mountain linen wrap, Ebony butt sleeve, matching stacked veneer trim ring above a milk white Delrin butt cap and an old style bumper. Two shafts: one with Juma/black pad/Triangle, the other real Micarta/red pad/Triangle. Matching joint protectors to top it off, and the whole package to be in at or right around 19oz with a forward balance.

Again true to form, Bob had excellent communication throughout the build. Regular email updates, and pictures detailing major progress. Nothing short of class act. Fast forward a few months and Bob sends me an email stating it was the last chance for any inlays. I was kind of going for a simple build for two reasons: 1) I wanted to go for a straight traditional build, save the black paper divisions in the veneers, and 2) I was trying to keep the cost down since I wanted two shafts. But I did want to see what Bob had in mind. Well, he really didn't have anything in mind; it was just kind of an FYI email. But you know that had my tires kicking. I'm a sucker for gun sights and barbells. So Bob and I kicked a few emails back and forth until we had a set design. Though I was a little concerned about the price. Turns out there was no need for concern. Being a return customer many times over, Bob cut me a HELL of a deal on some veneered gun sight inlays.

I think the cue came out Amazingly Perfect. Bob is a hell of a businessman and craftsman. And his customer support is nothing short of perfection.

On to the cue:

Check out these JPs. And best of all, the Ivory caps and veneer trim were totally a freebee! Bob just thought I might like it. Hell yeah I like them!

Just wanted to show the nice ring count on these shafts.

One is Juma/Kamui Black Soft (a little change up) and the other is real Micarta/red pad/Triangle.

The cue is now my main player, replacing my first DZCue. Very nice firm/stiff "hit". The Juma/Kamui softens things up a bit, which is nice for me. But on nights where im shooting too soft I can break out the Micarta/Triangle for that old school, firm punch; not too hard, but not soft. This cue moves the rock with little to no effort.

So in closing:
Pros
All this cue was under $1100. Well...please note I am a return customer many times over. This cue would normally be around $1500.
Bob's amazing customer service
Bob's amazing craftsmanship
And the maple stitches match up on the shafts and butt.
The cue is just perfect.

Cons
Sorry, dont have any!

You guys really need to get your hands on a Dzuricky custom cue. The man is a master in his craft, and a hell of a businessman to boot.

One last thing: putting everything stated above about Bob and his business to the side; Bob is also just a nice guy to chat with. Give him a call, or shoot him an email; and you just might end up with a hell of a cue too.

Wow....quite a cue. Great review. I think both of you did an excellent job. The color combinations are unique as are the inlays.
Nobody will confuse that cue with another.....very nice.
