I've had my new Varney J/B for approx. 1 week. I also own the Fury J/B that was used in the Platinum Billiards break speed test. The Varney is hands down, far and away superior to the Fury in every way imaginable. The Fury can shatter racks, no problem...but lacks in control. The Varney can do the same, put the C/B 3' off in the air, back the C/B up and park it in the center with less effort. I love the grooves that Kevin cut into the tip to give it gripping power, and aleviate miscueing, you can almost shoot this phenolic tip without chalk. I've also had the same opinions from two of the top players from my town, who have tried this cue, who have owned Stinger's, Scorpion's and Predator BK1 & 2's. I am not talking hype here, just the straight facts. It jumps better than my Predator Air, and with less effort, and more control. This is a superior product from somebody who knows what he is doing. Kudos Kevin....I look forward to trying one of your playing cues, someday. This J/B is gonna have a loving home in my case. Thanks to all the AZ'er's for a great recommendation, which led to a happy satisfying purchase, and an opportunity to meet and chat with an extremely fine cuemaker
