P.S. I’ve compared this to the AD3 and I believe that a simple tip change from the stock Trance tip to Tsubasa (or Horo White Storm, or comparable) will make the performance similar to AD3 in terms of control/response. If I end up changing the tip, the price will be upped or the cue may not be for sale anymore.
I noticed two super small dings in the shaft, can’t see them unless in right lighting. They do not affect playability or feel. Penny for size reference.
