Very nice design Ken. I've always loved the way Dave's phenolic jointed cues played but since recently picking up my first piloted ivory jointed Kikel I think I'm sold on them LIKE BUTTER......

Pocket full of gold!!

In the mid-90's -When I was at Kikels!!- he wasn't.I should have been more persistent. But when traveling you only get a day in a new city sometimes. He was in a small strip mall. Nobody was there, I new If would be my loss but I did find Laurie Franklin at Home. and Her Shop is in Her Home! has been forever- I did meet Ernie Marinez he had a shop. For those who don't remember Kikel interned with Bill Stroud !! You got a bad cue!!!! The cue will sound like bells, resonate with vibrations in your loose grip. look at the shine and color !!- will be a great player!! mark

I played several hours with the cue last night. I gambled and booked 2 winners and never had any issues with cue.

One thing that helped is Mr. Kikel put on my normal tips, Moori softs.

It has ivory ferrells, ivory joint, and ivory hoppe ring. All showing excellent grains.

Feedback is excellent, and it took me hardly any time and I felt like I had been playing with the cue for years....

I took this in to a pool hall and let several guys hit balls with it. Not one bad, comment.
