I bought an Allers cocobolo sneaky from Paul a week or so ago. I didnt like the size of the laminated shaft that came with the cue, so i had him build me one to my spec.
i'll make this short:
Paul is a great guy to deal with.
his laminated shafts are excellent. very stiff. the deflection was pretty low, almost as low as a 314. putting english on the ball was also very easy.
the only thing that i found a little tougher to do with this cue was drawing the cue ball, but that was probably from the hard triangle tip. i had to really bear down to power draw the cue ball. shooting a follow shot with it was easier than predator...and thats no lie.
the cue has a beautiful finish, and although it was made from a blank, the wood was beautiful. i would not hesitate to do business with him again.
if you want a responsive, stiff hitting cue, paul is your man. at least for his laminated shafts. i have not had the pleasure to play with his normal shafts.
also, the prices for his cues are cheaper than cheap. probably the best price for a custom sneaky.
try him out, you won't be disappointed.
