Well I bought this cue as a car cue so I wouldn't need to carry my higher dollar cues other than league night. I am happy with the cue but as I bought it new and did not commission it I determined I would prefer a leather wrap so I sent off to Martin for a Kangaroo Wrap and as I have never used one I sent the butt off to Bob Danielson for a LD shaft. So much for a cheap cue.
