I had every intention of buying a jump cue from Steve when I seen him at the expo this year. Well I wanted a ebony or black one but he didnt have any there , So I was talking to Steve then about haveing him make me what I wanted after he got home for the expo. But when we were talking he told me that he uses the same wood to make them all. but just dies or stains the woods for the colors. So I got home and was getting ready to get in contact with him I see AZ member WADE had 2 of them, so I was lucky enough to get one off of him, and at a great price to so I was very happy. But I had a predator air but never got it out to use it and when I did I always thought it was to lite and had no control. I would jump with my Sly j/b and it worked fine also but not at real close shots. Well now with alittle of practice and effort Im snapping balls in with jumps less than a ball away. I am really impressed of just how good my Lomax jumps and jumps accuratly. I think it is the best on the market ,,at least the best hands down that I ever tried. So Steve if you wonder why I didnt get back with you after the expo..this is why...But you build a hell of a jump cue my friend and I have a couple guys that say they are going to be looking into buying one off of you,,,,Just thought I would tell me experience....Lomax :thumbup: <<< ED
