Stopped into Segen cues with a friend today and got to meet Evan, see the operation, cues in progress, and hits some finished cues. First, Evan is just a great person to talk to...incredibly friendly and easy going and excited about what he has to show off. We talked cues and large format photography and I enjoyed it very much
Now, onto the cues...I was impressed. The leather wraps were impeccably well done and while I'm not a leather wrap fan I did find a few I think I would be happy with. The cues felt absolutely natural in hand, great balance to them. The hit I think was incredible. Evan says it's a "firm" hit, as in not soft but maybe not quite super hard either. It just felt like a cue I could pick up and play and have the cue just disappear in my hand because it felt natural.
Since I just got a cue I was not shopping for one myself but if I was I'd buy one without hesitation. They're players! My friend did order one that will be a wrapless and it was cool listening to them discuss the build.
I was also impressed with the zero pressure approach Evan had, he was more than happy sending us out the door with a business card to think about things, he in no way tried to sell us a cue...just offered up the information and facilitated the order with excitement when asked.
Great visit! And there are going to be some really cool and interesting designs in the near future...saw some works in progress with materials I haven't seen used in cues before and they were pretty cool!
