Just received it today. It is cue #50 on Tony' site, http://www.zinzola.com/
Click on CUES and look for #50. This cue has to be seen up-close and in person to be fully appreciated. It looks even better than the photos show. There is a lot of detail that doesn't show up in the pictures.

The cue is simply beautiful. Long even points with some of the cleanest veneers I've ever seen... and I've seen plenty. The point work is amazing.

Everything white is ivory. The inlays are ebony, ivory and silver and everything lines up. The overall fit/finish appears to be flawless.

The wrap is elephant ear. You have to look very carefully to find any hint of a seam. It is very nicely done.

This cue is forward balanced and feels great. The hit is right up there with the very best I've ever hit with. Somewhat stiff shaft tapers. Just right for me.

As far as I can tell, Tony Zinzola's work ranks very high and can be compared to the very best known and respected big name cuemakers. He's that good right now... and his designs are just getting started. My advise is to get one now... because there is no doubt his waiting list will only get bigger, as players and collectors discover Tony Zinzola.
 
Thanks for such a great Review Charlie and thanks for your patience, while I fixed a few things I wasn't happy with.

Here are the photos, so you don't have to go to my site. The wrap got another buff before it was sent out. I should have taken new photos, but I forgot.

Each of Tony's cues get better and better. I have 3 myself. You currently hold Tony's best to date in my opinion. This combination of color symetry and inlay design layout is very attractive. I hope you enjoy your cue and working with Tony as much as I have. Congratulations on getting this customized cue and thanks to Tony for posting the pictures for all to enjoy.

Hi, mine received yesterday and plays soooo sweet. We took the balance Point to 18,5 and the weight is 18,8oz. Tony made special Shaft's for me and the Hit is phenomenal.The work is flawless and this is not my LAST Zinzola Cue.My Cue is NO 49.
I like your Cue also Charlie.

Nice review Charlie. Very good looking cue.

Ralf, that's a sweet cue you got there as well. I remember this wrapless one of Tony. PM me if this is available. ;)
