He and I worked out a trade for a case I owned. Jim was to make me a leather wrapped sneaky for my case. At first I did not get too excited and thought I would just sale the sneaky. Yesterday I recieved the sneaky and figured I would hit a couple of balls with it at home. This cue hit the ball great!!!! I ended up playing all night with it. Great feedback, perfect weight, and the shaft was awesome!!! I own sereral higher end cues and this simple cue ranks right there with them on playablity. Not to metion the cue looks great. Jim posted pics in the gallery. Needless to say this cue goes in my case and I plan to play with it often. Thanks Jim it was a pleasure. I will be in touch soon for a fancy player to be built.
