Dean really gave a great endorsement to two wonderful cue-makers.In fact, Dean is a reason why my IRA has a lot less money than before.
I had an urge to design my own pool cues and needed a cue-maker.There are so many to choose from & seeing photos of cues wasn't enuf.
When you order a cue to be built, you really do not want any hassles or issues communicating with the cue-maker and remaining updated on progress.
Both Bob Owen & Jerry Rauenzahn excel at customer communications & go out of their way to keep their clients informed about their pool cue's development.
Furthermore, their accomplishments in cue-making are self-evident truths and both are interested in building you a pool cue exactly as you'd imagine & want it to turn out.
Since 2013, which is when I placed my 1st order with Bob for a cue, I followed that up with placing a order with Jerry and then another from Bob and then another from Jerry.
The biggest compliment you can give any cue-maker is to do repeat business....IMO. Your wallet pays a lot bigger compliment to a cue-maker than your mouth ever could.
"Put your money where your mouth is." is an expression coined over the years and it's so true......talk is cheap....I could endorse Barry Szamboti all day long but owning one...well?
With a budget of $2,000, you could get a very handsome design (at least a Level 5) cue from either Bob Owen or Jerry Rauenzahn...re: Dean's does projects with both cue-makers.
My last two cues that were made fby Bob & Jerry that arrived this month are truly out of this world beautiful. The execution is flawless.....the designs sparkle......and both cues arrived "early"
I offer you my unconditional endorsement of both cue-makers and if it were not for the dumb CA ivory ban, I'd have already placed orders again with both Bob & Jerry for 2 new designs I have in mind.
This is what you get with either cue-maker.....really attractive pricing, creative suggestions, precision cue-making, great communications, progress photos, complete trustworthiness, and completed on time.
Ordering a custom cue from either Bob Owen or Jerry Rauenzahn is a sure fire approach to finding pool cue nirvana and you will not be disappointed and in fact, will enjoy a great, satisfying experience.

p.s. If any of you are at the Mezz stop in Fresno the weekend of June 11th, find me at Diamond Billiards. You can examine up close the 4 custom cues Bob & Jerry made for me and see how great both guys are.
