That's for sure. However, you'll get what you pay for. Nowadays, my main cue is a custom Longoni -- and I love it.

You can get an XP-joint Z-shaft for your cue, directly from Longoni, for about $270, or a 314 for $15 less.
Initially I was debating getting an XP joint Z-shaft myself, but I opted for a spec modified Pro Maple Custom instead.
Btw, here's a link to Longoni's dicontinued cues, maybe Mantis' dad's cue is among them:
