So I have written this reply 3 times because every time I write it, I end up ranting about how strong my game has gotten since I bought my Josey. This thread might be a little old, but I think it needs to be bumped for an AWESOME cue maker. The truth is this: A player that loves his cue is more likely to love the game, and a player that loves the game has limitless potential. This can be directly related to the fact that this concept is exactly what Keith tries to do with every cue that he touches. To create player's dream, is to create a passion for the game.
