Hi there!
It's been quite sometime since I've posted on here, and I have to admit it's because of a lack of game time on my part. I've been doing a lot of other things and haven't had time to crack down on my nine ball game, but it's about time to rekindle the billiards fire. So to speak.
I'm looking to have a custom Cue built for me, and I would need it done in a relatively short period of time.where I'm from it's difficult to find someone who produces both equality Cue and who is reliable. My requirements for a Cue are as follows, with also being open to any suggestions or recommendations. Ideally I'm looking for a Cue maker to make a Cue something like this:
I'm very tall at 6'5 and most cues are so incredibly short for me, and thus I have a hard time on 9ft tables, even at my height. So first and foremost I need a cue that is at least 60" long. 30/30 or otherwise. Longer may be better but again I'm open to suggestions
I've been shooting most recently with a clunky old McDermott weighing in at 19.5oz. I'm looking to lose some weight here and shoot for an 18oz.
I want a nice bright wood. More on the color side of flamed maple with some type of exotic point layout. (Ebony, snake wood, babinga, rosewood etc)
The shaft I want ( if I was forced to pick a manufactured one) would be a jacoby edge hybrid, or a 214. I've heard curse makers can make shafts 10x better than most manufacturers if they're particularly skilled. I'd like something around the 12mm side, but hey....I don't mind paring something custom with a Jacobi or predator shaft.
I'm really hoping to get some good advice here and maybe even find a route to getting this cue made sooner than I thought. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. And thank you in advance.
Wing!
