I just received a new Kent Davis cue from Martin at Western cues tonight. It was the black ash burl merry widow from his site, if any body has been on there. I have about two hours of play on it tonight. Kent says it has a purpleheart core. The cue is balanced very well and has a very solid hit. Hit is subjective I know, But I would call it stiff. This is exactly why I bought the cue. The finish is very nice. Polished to a mirror finish. Ring work is very good. The overall fit and finish of this entire cue is excellent. I think the quality of this to the value is about as good as it gets. I bought this to be a player and it does that. I was very pleased with the customer service provided by Martin as well as Kent on this cue deal. I spent two days with questions before I finally bought the cue and they very gracious about providing answers and willing to change anything I wanted changed. Martin put aleather wrap on this cue and Kent changed one of the tips to an everest. These are two great guys to deal with and I think Kent is making as good as there is out there.
Thank you both
