Hit pretty well, I like the Sugartree shafts with them, usually pretty flashy with good materials, and from across the room often mistaken for Bobby Hunters or Cognescenti.
I played with one for a couple of months this springs, and absolutley loved it, but put it away to try out another cue.
Still test drive it every once in a while, and still hits great.
Only thing I noticed was that the finish started chipping around the joint a couple of weeks after I started playing with it.
Other than that, great cues for the price, and worth trying out.
