Hit great, I had a hoppe style ebony into birdeye sneaky, Loved and still love that cue even know I let it go awhile back. They hit just as great as any other Diveney I have hit with, though I do prefer the hit of his sneaky cues, and yes they are known for it. Mine as well had some visible glue lines towards the bottom of the splices.
Things to Note. IMHO
- Thin slender butt taper, good for smaller hands or if you just like that feel.
- Shaft taper is a medium stiff feel, with good feedback to the butt/your hand
- Weights are low and most of the cues can be adjusted to what weight you want by changing the weight bolt.
- cues are balanced towards the middle, not forward nor back balanced.
- Knows for their strong clear coat, these cues look great and hold up nicely.
