Nice looking cue, I see where you say it is 20oz but feels like 19oz. Do you play long sessions, my experience is that well balanced 20oz cues feel fine to me at first but if I play for 10 to 15 hours straight I can really start feeling the extra ounce from my usual playing weight. Maybe it is just mental but I cannot seem to get comfortable mentally with anything over 19oz. I am curious to know your thoughts, thanks for sharing pics of this beautiful cue.

it comes in at just a smidgin under 20, i played last night for close to 6 hours, and the way the cue is balanced it just doesnt shoot or feel like its close to 20! i have shot with 19 oz cues all my life and didnt like nor need a heavier cue, ive shot with a few of my buddies cues that were pushin 20 oz and they seem to lose the feeback and the ability to finesse alot of the shots, not the case with this cue, you would actuallly have to shoot with one i guess for you to understand, i guess we all hope to find that magic cue one day that is just " THE ONE" , like i have said ive played with and shot with alot of custom cues but this cue is in a class of itself................:grin-square:
 
Sounds like a very nice cue! I am quite happy for you in that your search is finally over. It can be a long, expensive and frustrating road to cue nirvana...

Can you post some contact information on the maker for those who might wish to commission him?

Congratulations!:)
 
yes and truthfully i never thought it was possible to find nirvana! ive played with alot of cues and some were fantastic but this one is somehow much different, i will be commissioning another cue as we speak, here is marks info, super nice gentleman,
