I purchased the cue purely on a good gut feeling (and I knew that the purchase was a gamble), based on 1 review that I read about the cue makers cues. The few cues out there that I know I would be happy with are either out of my price range, or unavailable from any sellers online. I understand that in the case with this cue, I may have to almost give it away (for next to nothing) if I want or need to resell it, so my purchase was purely on a gamble that I will hopefully really like the hit of the cue. The appearance of the tapers of the shafts look great to me, and the cue also had a radial pin joint (which is the same joint that Diveney uses on his cues), and I have tried cues out from a few unknown Texas cue makers in the past, and they were great players. I think that many great cue makers are from Texas. I think that Bludworth cues are from Texas, for example. Many of these little unknown cue makers may have even learned from some of the more known cue makers. I do not know. I purchased the cue because as crazy as it may sound, I like the looks of it. I think it has a unique look to it (but that may be a bad thing if I need to resell it though). I knew that it was a money loser when I purchased it, but hopefully I will enjoy playing with the cue. Hopefully it will have a nice hit to it. If not, then I might be out a few hundred dollars. It would not the end of the world for me though.
