very nice piece!!! his cues have had a incredible asian market, and now the us is catching on!iDJKeys said:My First Custom was a cue by Rick. I live about 5 miles from him so I got to spend some time with him, got to see his shop, etc. He is a true artist. Although I could only afford his entry level cue (around $2K) it is a well made, great hitting cue. In fact, all of his cues hit great, as the construction is the essentially the same regardless of the designs on the outside. I have had this 6-pointer since 2003:
I love his taper, it is very stiffDJKeys said:Rick uses a fairly stiff shaft taper, flat-faced wood to wood. Stiff but with feel. Good control. I have hit with a number of his cues and they are very consistent.
u got da8 is great to deal with also!he is a true gentleman! and this is the cavalier a great design with alot of work !! and his cues play fantastic and Quiet!!!! thank you for you kind wordsugotda8 said:I just bought a very nice RC-3 from Bill. I think the name of the design is the "Cavalier". Is this correct Bill?
Not only does Bill have nice stuff...quite frankly I have never dealt with a more honest and upfront guy.
As far as the playability of Mr. Chudy's goes...I am an instant fan. I have played with a lot of the big name cuemakers stuff, and his is right there with them.
Very quiet and very easy to control.
DJ Is awesome to deal with also,a great guy!DJKeys said:I bought a beautiful Hercek from Bill last year and I echo your comments. He is a great guy to deal with.
