Wayne Robinson J/B:
Maple forearm with dark wood butt sleeve....brown phenolic joint, jump joint, and butt plate.....phenolic tip...joint is 5/16-14 piloted a both joints...13mm shaft....
This cue has a beautiful finish and honestly looks much better than the pictures on-line. The finish is first rate, the wrap is tight, the look is original, and the cue rolls perfect without imperfections. Saturday night, more than one person commented on how original the cue looked. The hit is solid, the ball flys into the rack with surprising ease for something as light as an 18 oz. I didn't get to do much jumping (I simply don't jump that much), but the cues tip and balance promote good precision and jumping the couple of times I needed to hop 1/2 a ball.

4- Point Players Cue
Maple forearm, 4 ebony floating points, ebony butt and sleeve, ringwork made of Abalone.....radial pin, 19.4 oz, and 13mm....
Just like the J/B cue, the pictures do not do this cue justice. The finish was excellent, wrap tight, points like daggers, well-balanced, roll straight, and the weight was right in my wheelhouse at 19ozs. Right off the bat, I was pocketing balls with ease, able to draw and follow as needed. The deflection is as expected with the cue make-up, but I still need some more practice to get my eye dialed in after going from my other cue. Again, compliments from onlookers, the cue considered "original" and the finish top shelf. Here is the thread for pics:

Nine Ball
Josh Hilliard, Nine Ball on the forum, was quick to answer PM's and answered questions completely. After some negotiations, we came to an agreeable price point that was a win/win for both. Josh underpromised and overdelivered, with the cue arriving two days before expected
.
The cues arrived on time, insured, well-packed, and were as impressive as he had sold them to be. I would easily do business with him again.
I have no affiliation with Josh or Wayne. I liked being able to try an entry custom at a good price, I was in the market, and I plan to try a few more. This is my first write-up, so I'm open to suggestions for improvement , and if you have questions, post or send PM's.
Thanks,
Jason
