Just a comment about Paul Dayton's cues in general. IMHO he is a cuemaker who flies under the radar. His cues are EXTREMELY well made, and underpriced I think, with particular care taken in wood choice. He won't compromise in the details of a cue, even to please the buyer. Paul makes cues the best way that he knows how, and he knows a ton. The cues play that way, like they were made by someone who knew what he was doing !
I don't know this seller, but I bet this cue plays great. One more thing. I recently bought a cue from Paul. He wants me to send it back to be refinished because of a flaw that only he can see...lol. When he delivered the cue, he refunded me $100 because one shaft had ever so slightly warped. He's also going to replace that shaft when I send it back, if I can ever bring myself to give it up for a couple weeks
