Mason -- the Russian cue maker is Dmitry Komarov, and I've seen him offer cues but not blanks. I'm not sure why this one seems to have a shaft made by someone else, but I'm guessing that Dmitry made the entire butt. And I agree that his full-splice cues look very nice.

YES.... Dmitry made the butts , completely , and I made the shafts. We were getting so many questions on people not knowing about Hornbeam shafts, which are Great, no one over here knew about them. I took a couple to Vagas last May , let 30 to 40 different people try the cues, with Hornbeam shafts and maple shafts. Most like the way the cue hit with either shaft . The Hornbeam being a little denser than Maple. I have shipped some maple to Dmitry . We are working on Dmitry to sell us some blanks , but not available yet . Thanks Jim
Bump for Great deal on full splice.
Interesting comparison...
This is my IMHO, so do not make me the public enemy #1. Opinion comes from 20 years of playing Russian Pyramid and 15 years of playing pool. I also build cues, but mostly for Russian Pyramid.
I do not think it is fair to compare Dmitriy’s work to any big or small name of the pool industry. Not fair to the guys in the pool industry, that is. Dmitriy builds cues for Russian Pyramid. He uses the same style full splice. Now, I do not know how many here know what Russian Pyramid is, but the ball is 68 mm in diameter, and the pocket is 69.5 -70 mm. A lot of shots are power shots that put more stress on the cue than the pool break shot. And how many of you break with your Herceks or Szambotis (Fatboy, please do not answer this question because I saw that inside the case edition
)? Now, Dmitriy’s construction withstands the forces and stresses from playing Russian Pyramid. I think it will last forever if you play pool with it. And I mean play, not hang in the closet in the “unchalked” condition.

No problem. I love the game. I play everything except for snooker and bumper pool
, but my favorite game is Russian Pyramid. Dmitriy's long crown splice design is very unique even to Russian cue building, from what I know.
Hmmmm
Did I say Hercek sells blanks you can buy?? What does that have to do with if he builds a better blank than this guy?? You think there is a reason there is a 10 year waiting list ?? And by the way, there is no more waiting list, he has enough orders for the next 20 years and than he is retiring. That means if you are not on his list now, you won't be ever.
I mean, you said it was the best you ever seen... give me a freakin break already. Yeah, better than a Davis blank, who sold numerous blanks to Balabushska,not to mention that have of all Balabusha were made with a Spain blank. But I guess Balabushka did not have the expert eye you did, and thus bought the inferior work of a Davis blank who worked hand in hand and was a partner with Burton Spain.
But hey great, this is the BEST ever in your opinion, and I'm just calling BS. You say it is and I say it aint. And I see it aint sold yet?? Hmmmm, the best ever you say ??

Didn t see and hear much from Dimitri in the last time- til now was able to play with 2 of his cues here in germany. Really, really excellent work. And the FULL-SPLICE shafts from him are a hammer. I ve never heard about full-splice-shafts before....they re just great. I really hope for Dimitri that some more guys will try his cues out and give feedback here. I m very sure that the feedback will be superb!
Already felt in love with one of his butterfly-styled cues.....but unfortunatley haven t the money at this time.
Dumbs high for his excellent work,
Ingo

Don't believe my reply was directed toward you, at you and insuated anything at all regarding you !! Was speaking directly to Mason....

No, you never said they were nice, you said they were the best you ever seen !!! big difference between NICE and BEST EVER !!

You made a statement on a public forum. The statement was quiet negative, bold and conclusory. It was about a subjective opinion voiced by another. Did not think I needed a permission from you to reply to it. Next time you want to address JUST Mason, do so in a personal message.
nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Yeah, my bad, but I'm not the "clueless guy" that said this is the best full splice I've ever seen !! What a pandering "clueless guy", trying to help sell a cue that nobody seems to want !!! And I"m the clueless one??? I said it all along, that this is probably a pretty fine cue, not that the photos do it any justice. But I'm not going to sell out and market a cue for someone I have never met or even know personally, by claiming it the best ever so somebody can make a sale. What is this?? a late night infomercial....

Yes, you are correct sir ! My apologies to you as you got caught in the cross hairs. I read you reply too quickly, my mistake, won't happen again !!
Like I said, I'm sure this is a fine cue, but to make such hyperbole about a cue that Mason has never even held in his hand, or even seen with good photographs, smacks of a late night infomercial that is not needed or appreciated here.

I believe Mason was referring to Dimetry's work, as one cuemaker to another. Mason is a fine, fine cuemaker, and so is Dimetry. He has sold several of his cues on here.
I believe what Masonwas referring to is the even-ness and razor sharpness of the points/recuts on Dimetry's cues. They are evan and sharp at both the top and bottom of the splices. That is extremely difficult to obtain, and very rare. They are extremely fine made full splice blanks which may very well rank at the top with anyone's....I don't know. I am not a cuemaker and I only have somewhat limited experience with cues.

Thanks Joe!!!!!!!!
