Never buy a cue without seeing it in person or one just like the one you want built. It's like marrying a woman before you had sex with her... You just don't know for sure. The cue on the website looks similiar to a Lucasi. Me, I am not a big fan of white inlays in cues, a little is okay, but that's all, but that is just my taste in cues. I play with a custom built Shurtz cue, made right here in Wichita, and am very pleased with it. It was featured in American Cueist Magazine
(cover and article) a year and a half ago.
I have inspected several Jacobi cues of a friend of mine, and have been very impressed with them. They do excellent inlay work, many unique designs. I always rate cues in this order:
1) Balance 2)feel (including hit) 3) how solid (joints, etc.) 4) How good looking
(Maybe I should have rated my 4 ex wives that way too since my cues lasted longer than they did ... <grin>)
