Well there it is eh? That cue is just amazing. I researched Dayton a long time before I bought one of his cues. I was aware he had ultra-fancy cues, but he doesn't seem to make too many of them. And due to the fact that he shuns CNC and pantographs I was wondering what his fancy cues might look like.
Question has been answered in this bad rider. I own a Dayton that is, at least compared to this, a fancy sneaky. I don't have a plethora of high end cues to compare it to, but I have shot with a Southwest and own a Schick. The Dayton is every bit the player that those cues are, and at a fraction of the price.
To see THIS Dayton in all it's glory, and KNOW that if it shoots on par with my current Dayton...well then this thing is a mighty beast indeed! Though I'm betting whoever buys this cue is sadly going to hide it away as an investment instead of use it for what it was designed for (to win billiard games).
Regardless, this cue is breathtaking. Beautiful choice of woods and contrast, the buttsleeve is perfect, not too crowded and not too plane. The points go on like the legs of a supermodel. DAMN!
Great cue. Again I find myself wishing I could swing this one. Good luck with the sale. Whoever buys this will undoubtedly be the owner of one of Paul Dayton's penultimate cues.
