The hit was solid, but a soft solid if that makes any sense. I had hit with a couple metal joints earlier in the day and had trouble working the cue ball. With the Haskin cue, I had the ball spinning all over the table. I hit balls with about 12 or so cues on Saturday and for me, they were the best hitting cue that I tried.
The prices were pretty typical for a custom. They had nice looking cues anywhere from the high 700's up to a ebony/turq/ivory cue that went for about 2800. I hit with one from both price ranges and there wasn't any difference. I guess it comes down to how much inlay material goes into it.
