Hello people, this is what I bought to be my first custom cue. It's a Russ Espiritu with an ivory joint, ivory windows and little ivory diamonds on the ebony butt sleeve, and ivory diamonds on the ebony points. The forearm is curly maple. The ferrules on both shafts aren't ivory, nor is the butt cap, but I love the way it plays! What do you guys think? Did I make a good call for a first custom cue? Your opinions are welcome.

By the way, I'd like to thank Bamacues for a good deal on this beautiful cue. Thanks, Bamacues!
 
Nice cue!!

That is really a great looking cue!! I like the colors of the veneers and the design is traditional and tasteful. Good luck with your new purchase!

I always check out Espiritu Cues at the BCA in Las Vegas and have been very impressed by many of the higher end Cues, such as the one you just bought ... Great Looking Cue ... A Keeper for sure ...

p.s. - That poor soul who is ranting and raving about all the Murdered Elephants it takes to make Custom Cues must be having a heart attack over this one ...

Russ lives about 10 miles down the road from me and makes an awesome cue. Wimpy, you own one of his most beautiful creations.

Thanks, hemicudas. You sure are lucky to live close to Russ. Wish I had a cuemaker nearby :(
 
I think someone robbed you, that cue is junk!

...however since I'm such a nice guy I'll take it off your hands for you.

Nice cue!

Nice Espiritu

I have always felt Russ builds a lot of cue for the money. This cue is very nice. Notice the cue in my avatar is an Espiritu cue as well.
 
That is a very nice cue. Enjoy:D Remember all that Ivory will be very temperature sensitive. Make sure you allow it to acclimate to room temperature before using if you live in a cold climate.:cool:
