DZ Cues... Great value
Jive,
I got my first custom from Bob Dzuricky.
I did a review about 2 years ago and the thread has a lot of the in process pics that Bob sent me and some that he posted to the site himself.
As you likely know, Bob is also into photography...his pics are outstanding and showcase his work phenomenally.
His work is also phenomenal.
He is a great guy to deal with and cares about his products before and after the final sale.:thumbup:
He goes above and beyond to make you happy.
I had Bob do a replacement shaft for a McDermott D4 I use as an alternate player for when I don't want to take my expensive cues out.
The replacement shaft came out perfect and has the same tip/ferrule/taper configuration as my main player.
My cue has a cored East Indian Rosewood Forearm / Butt sleeve with Ivory outline spearpoints / Lapis spear inner inlays that are over/under Lapis and amboyna burl ovals in the butt sleeve.
5 sets of Amboyna Burl ringwork with 8 small Lapis ovals in each.
Point Blanks are amboyna burl with White, Black, Double blue veneers.
I would like to have sprung for the black paper veneers and a set of matching JP's, but I had to compromise a shade for my budget.
I got a set of EIR JP's with Royal Blue rings from Jim Baxter.
Cue weighs 19.2 with a slight forward balance of about 19 1/4": no weight bolt in butt.
Black with Blue speck pressed linen wrap.
Mason Micarta 3/4" threaded capless Ferrule with Triangle med-Hard tip.
Joint and butt cap materials are Juma.
3/8" 10 TPI FB pin (Bob's standard 0.308" minor OD)
The handle forearm Pin is Brass. Bob did an excellent job getting me the EXACT weight and balance point I described. It was perfect.
Finish on his cues is excellent. Inlays are really tight.
I am currently designing another to have him hopefully build in a few years.
You can see the old review I did and look at my photo album. It is the only cue with blue in it.
The best pics are shown here. The McD D4 replacement shaft collar details and fit is shown in the album, also...
More great work from Bob.
I am sure you will be very happy with the new DZ cue purchase.
Best of luck and have a happy Holiday season.
