I'm trying to design my next cue. What are these kind of points called? I have seen 3 up 3 down, staggered and what not but the lower points in this particular cue are higher and closer to the higher points than I normally see. I really like this style. I just wonna know how to explain them to the maker :) Thanks!

3 high, 3 low. Specify where you want them meet and where you want them to end, If the cuemaker is worth his salt, he should be able to pull it off. With v-points, it will be tough to get them exact, but within 1/4 inch or so should be no problem.

Do you have any more pictures of the cue shown. If so could you email them to me. Who is the maker of this cue?
Thanks Kevin

They are typically called shadow points or backing points. This is usually about $100 additional for this style. Just tell the cuemaker what height you want them when you order it. Generally I think they are about 3/4 length points.
 
This Andy Gilbert is on cueaddicts.com and has the same type of points you are asking about.

Here is the description they use:
Fancy eight point with veneers – 8 ebony points (4 long and 4 short) with veneers (red/maple/red/black) on the long points into a beautiful piece of bird’s eye maple


Hope this helps,
Dave
