Very Nice!
Ha, ha!! The hit on most Mottey cues is awesome but again......personal preference.
Did you design it? Looks very Filipino-esque! 
I have designed a few but not this one.
awsome
Simon now that is class!! if you do decide to move it let me know! thnk buddy ! Billthediamond said:
Cue Hit
Everyone has their own opinion, but I have 3 Mottey cues and I think the hit is outstanding. 2 of my cues have piloted ivory joints and the other has a piloted SS joint. I've owned many cues in my life with practically every joint style you can find and the cues I own now are the ones I prefer to play with. The hit is so consistant that all of them play and feel the same.

Hey Bill
Whats happening on the cue front?? You still have the Szam I want?
The Mottey is class. Some cuemakers just understand whats going on asthetically!!
Wonderfull looking cue. The right amount of ivory and abolone without going overboard (if there is such a thing). Pardon my ignorance but what exactly do you mean by recut points?
I bought a Mottey purpleheart plain jane w/ SS collar in 97. At the time I was shooting with a B/J from a local cuemaker (Irv ??). It played real well for me at the time. The shaft was real whippy so I got alot of spin on the cb. When I bought the Mottey I hit a couple balls with it and couldnt make a ball. I absolutely hated it, it hit way too hard. I just wasnt comfortable with it. I sold it and now Im kicking myself. All I'll play with now are hard hitting cues. I get more feel and control. That is what leads me to believe that a good playing cue has an acquired feel. If I hit with a couple of production/custom cues it feels like I'm wearing gloves when I hit the ball. I like to hear and feel the pop. Like breaking glass!
Love the cue

Recuts are solid wood pieces inlaid into the points. With V-groove points the blanks are made seperately with the veneers and turned down. My understanding of recuts is that the point is made in the forearm and 'pocket' is cut out and the wood inlaid. Am I correct? Can someone else shed some light if I am way off.

Si,
Recut points are also v-groove points. The difference is the "veneers" on the recut are milled from a solid piece of wood as opposed to traditional veneers which are mitred (a vertical seam). Recuts are done by cutting the point, gluing in a piece of wood, moving the cutter away slightly and recutting the point leaving a "veneer". Traditional veneers are glued up flat, then mitred and made into v shape. Then glued in with the point wood. At least that's how we do it. I hope this explanation is clear enough.
Nice cue!

hit
Kinda like asking someone to rate a meal, or color of a car. Everyone see it differantly.
The HIT should be determinded by YOU, and no one else but you. After all it's your choice, not the other guys choice or money paying for a cue.
Paul has a great reputation for great cues and very clean workmanship.
good going, sir.
