During my visit to a upscale new pool room, Carrom Club in Albuquerque,NM the house pro Eduwardo ( ?Spell) comes to my table picks up my cue hits few balls and said ``I like the way hits and I like this cue , who made this cue``? I said ``Jerry Olivier``.Then he said ``he is my sponsor``.
I am not head over heals with my cue but it is all right.
 
I have hit with a couple of his 3/8-10 flat face cues that played well. I'll only comment on the playability.
 
Not the stiffest cues around

They are typically on the whippier side of normal. Have said that if you like that sort of thing the fit and finish looks good.

I have known Jerry for years and can say that I have played some very, very good pool with his cues. They have a medium hard hit in my opinion. Very nice and easy to play with.

I would not call his cues "whippy" either. We sell Jerry's cues and have for at least 12 years I would guess. We have about 6 of his cues currently in stock and I have shot with all of them. I think they are very consistant in hit. He also has great pride in his work and stands behind his cues. I recently had a cue with an ivory inlay crack on me. Jerry immediately said "Send it back I will take care of it". Ivory is unpredictable and can crack due to no fault of the player or the cuemaker, but Jerry doesnt hesitate to take care of a problem. I HIGHLY recommend him. If you are unsure, just start with a cheap one like $450 and graduate up if you want something one-of-a-kind. At this years DCC I was looking for a new cue for myself and bought one from Jerry with purple heartwood and silver inlays with no wrap. I have been called a "picky b*stard" and worse by many people (and its true) so I don't suggest many cuemakers personally. But in this case I will. Jerry is great to deal with.
 
I've had three Olivier cues and am satisfied with them all. I am trying to thin the heard a bit so I have two for sale at the moment, but the one I'm keeping is my favorite cue that I have shot with thus far. I'm not sure how to describe it, it just 'feels' right. I spoke with him at DCC and on the phone once since and Jerry seems like a great guy as well.
 
O.K...One more question....Olivier cue or a Predator 2 with a Z shaft?????
Anyone have an opinion or experience with these 2 cues???
 
jerry cues

i too am a dealer and a friend of jerry and i feel that he makes a great and consistant hitting cue and stands behind his procuct 150% i have 5 cues and use a custom jerry, the price he keeps is way lower then most cues of this class and he has some very nice designs call me at 708-403-0600 if need more info thank you
 
My experience with Olivier cues is limited but I did own and play with a very nice, not so sneaky pete. Played very solid with a nice stiff shaft, attractive cocobolo and finished nicely. Wish I still had it. Have heard nothing but good things about Mr. Olivier's customer care and cue building skills.

I'd really like to try some of his upper end models.
