I have read in another thread by the user thediamond ( https://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=18282 ) that francisco bustamante gets his Bear cues custom made by Bear. What does he get done differently for his Bear cues? (How does Francisco Bustamante like his cues custom made?)
I would like to get my Bear cue customized like his. (I know that I will never play like him but whatever hes using is good enough for me)

Thank you so much!
 
I n golf many of the best pros play muscleback irons,but the general public is enamored with perimeter weighted,ffew pros play graphie shafts in their irons,but the public thinks graphite is best for the average players

Many top pros played Meucci cues foryears ,but I played terrible with them.

Pro players were playing carbon fiber,maybe they still are,but I tried them and prefer my maple shafts

Who can figure these things out?Not me.

I would contact either Dynamic Billiard or Ortmann Billiard(both in Germany) and ask them. Both sell Bear cues. AFAIK his cues are just stock Bear Bustamante models, 21oz and 12.75mm. He has been known to use Schon shafts on a Bear butt also. He's not super picky as long as the weight is right.

Who knows what 'custom' means, these days? Could be anything: color, weight, diameter, material...

Could be an outright untruth, and he uses a 100% off the shelf model.

lol that's what I thought it's a beautiful cue and it hits like a dream at least I'm my hands lol obviously not a full splice cue , since Mark had passed already I couldn't find out what the build process was something I was interested in ,

I would think if you're using a Schon shaft, that you're a Schon guy.

Just like there are a lot of custom cue guys using Predator shafts. WTF?

The butt(or the Bear patch and $$) doesn't count? He doesn't always use Schon shafts. Some of his newer cues are Uni-locs and he just has the shaft turned to his spec. So its either a Bear-Bear or a BearSchon.
 
I am not sure if I am understand you correctly? it is not possible turn bear cues that are uni-loc so that a schon shaft can fit it? So he uses a bear-bear or in other words a bear shaft? and a bear cue with a different joint (non uni-loc ) can have a schon shaft?

How does he get the bear shafts turned to his spec? (how does bustamante prefer his shafts made?) and can I have a custome cue maker do it for me? Can I get a bear shaft turned to this bustamante spec by a custom cue maker?

Thank you very much!!!!!
