Ok i finally got my cue today and played with it for a couple hours and it was nice :)

its a 19oz but feels more like a 18oz, but it doesnt bother me. the hit is very stiff, which is gonna take me a bit to get usta, cuz i am so usta my Meucci.

Using english was different, expecially drawing the ball it seemed like i had to put more into the shot. But that isnt all bad, cuz i had some problems with over draw with my Meucci.

I did use this cue also for breaking and wow!!! the hard(AAA) maple shaft really was nice for it :)

The Tiger tip played nice, good solid hits, i wasnt sure how the tip would play, cuz i have heard some mixed things about layer'd tips.

It is rock hard, scuffing it up and shaping the tip takes a bit lol

But the plus side, the tip didnt mushroom at all, which is very nice because the le pro on my Meucci would be seriously mushroom'd after a nite of breaking and playing.

I will say for 100$ it plays great, excellent balance, hits great, and is just good overall cue expecially for a newbie, or someone looking for a new cue.

Dave,

Good review of the 5280. I think people should consider those and cues in the same price range. Alot of people bypass them because they are so cheap and go straight for somewhat higher end cues. Beginners should have a quality cue available to them for a low cost.

I'm glad you like it. I hope it holds you over until spring when you get your Jacoby.

Take care,
Sarah
