After reading so many nice comments on Farris Cue's and not seeing to many for sale here on AZ, I finally had to oppurtunity to pick one up that was for sale by a fine gentleman Sung Kang - S K Custom Cues a few weeks ago.
I was not disappointed !!
Sung refinished the cue before he sent it although it probably didn't need it, but he wanted it to be perfect for me. He wrapped it with a great textured white with green speck linen wrap, which I think matches the cue perfectly.
Now............how does it play ? ........Beautifully !!!!
The cue weighs 19.1 oz., and is balanced perfectly. It has a shaft made from an old Brunswick cue, I'm told it's over 50 years old. The forearm blank was made by Joel Weinstock. The points are sharp and the veneers stand out very nicely, has that old school look :smile:
The cue hits very solid and firm, but has a soft touch. It came with a Kamui Hard Black tip. I was told by the House Pro where I play that I wouldn't be able to play with this tip, he said it was like a break cue tip, that it just wasn't my style.
Let me tell you, I love it !! It provides a solid hit, I'm still able to get better action on the cue ball than with previous tips I've used, usually medium tips. I think this tip has slowed down my stroke a bit and I'm able to adjust to table speed much quicker.
Grey Ghost made the comment about Farris Cue's that you just have to point and shoot - I find this very true, the cue is so solid that I point it and it drills the balls in the pocket like Magic Johnson shooting a three pointer.
I've been through the costly game of trying to find the perfect cue, I've had SW, Herceks, Cochrans ( excellent hitting cue ) Jerry R's, old Helmstetters and a few others that escape me at the moment, but I must say.........this Farris Cue is my best one so far !!!
I've ordered another shaft from Mr. Farris and I believe it will play as good as the one I have now,
So now for some pictures and if you haven't tried a Farris Cue, you should, you may be pleasantly surprised. No wonder you don't see them for sale on the after market to often !!
