Shane Van Boening & His Pat Diveney Cue!

Seems to me that I remember Adam Behnke and Little Joe having Diveney's and I think Shane runs in that crowd. I hit a few with Little Joe's Diveney and it plays real sweet.

I had this cue in my hands and i can tell you its balanced as well as it looks. Very nice cue he told me that he would have no trouble adjusting to it as it feels very much like his old cue. He was using the Diveney shaft that came with it and i think he plans on staying with it.

Glad to hear SVB has found the top shelf! Pat's cues are awesome...and I am mad that the pic is blocked at work for me!

Great choice, SVB. Great choice, Pat!

Sure, custom made for Shane. What's the odds on him playing with the cue "as is" in 6 months? What are the odds he even owns the cue in 6 months?

The cue looks great but Shane has a custom that he has played with for a long period of time and is comfortable. Why would he change?

I recall when SVB had an OB1 shaft that was "all the rage". I asked him myself at the WCO and he was nice enough to say he "liked the shaft" but when he played I noticed he didn't use that shaft.

It's just a really difficult position a player is put in when someone offers "something". Can they actually play with the product? Feel varies by person so I would be very surprised in the long run if Shane plays with the cue.

Shane came to us, we didn't go to him. So nothing was offered to him to get him to play our cues. Pat
 
AnitoKid, thanks for the pictures. Pat, that is one beautiful cue!! For some reason, I can't seem to play well with ebony cues. They sure look great, though!
 
You're welcome, Pushout!

The reason I was asking about it being used is that the SS looks scratched like it needs a good polishing. Maybe just greasy paw prints.

Pat,

What kind of shaft taper did you use out of curiousity?

That's a really good sign then Pat! Nice to hear he came to you for the cue.

I remember while watching the Reno bar table tournament that Shane was in the booth a lot commentating....I remember him commenting on Rodolfo Luat's Divency , ebony and ivory cue and saying, "I think I will have one of those made for me"...."I really like the way Rodolfo's looks"

Just my normal shaft taper. It is a very slight gradual taper for about 14 inches. By the time I'm done sanding who knows what it is. LOL Pat
The answer to the post above is it is not stainless. It is Titanium. It polishes harder and not as bright for me. But I didn't want the glue coming loose and the joint to start making noise so I left well enough alone. Pat

Hi Duane!

With regards to "What's the odds on him playing with the cue "as is" in 6 months? What are the odds he even owns the cue in 6 months?" - i guess we will know the answer to that question after six months.


With "Why would he change?" - I sincerely feel that it is a question that could only be answered by Shane.


With regards to "It's just a really difficult position a player is put in when someone offers "something," - Shane ordered one for himself from Pat Diveney after trying out a particular Diveney cue from another pro pool player.



And with "Can they actually play with the product? Feel varies by person so I would be very surprised in the long run if Shane plays with the cue" - Shane won the tournament in Davenport using this cue, and it was the first time he shot with it! And i kid you not! :)

"Someone" buys all of the U.S. Open 9 Ball Champion's cues for big bucks. JoeyA just guessing...................

Pat,
What is the diameter of the ferrule?

BTW, I recently hit some balls with Hennessey's "Pat Diveney" cue and it played well.

OK, how much for a similar hitting cue?
No need for fancy, just like playability....

The diameter of the ferrule is 12.35. Shane had told me that he didn't like a big tip, so I guessed at it. Must have been right, he loved it. A similar hitting cue to Johnathans would cost about 575.00 with one shaft and a elfron joint. Johnathans is ivory, but I don't think you would know the difference. Pat

Thanks!
Your prices are VERY nice.

With quite a few "decent" players using your cue, you may soon be backlogged. :) There must be a reason they are using them.

I will be sending you an email soon.

Thanks for the response.

There is not a reason. There are a whole lotta reasons!

I've hit balls with Joe's cue too and I concur that it is a great one. You don't see many people out hawking their Diveney cues do you? Wonder why...:)
 
I Know Why, Mosconiac

Cause they're reeeeaaallly goooood cues, that's why. And I should know, I use one every day. Got it from Pat two years ago and it'll be the last cue I'll ever buy (unless I run across a $50 mint Balabushka).

I started with Meucci (had two) then switched to Schon (I've got 5 of them), even tried them Predator shafts...now I'm in love with my Diveney. Looks great and plays better that any other cue I've laid my hands on.

To coin a phrase..."try it, you'll like it"...

I've got to hear it from my pal, LIttle Joe.

If he says Diveney's cues are the nuts, well, they just are. :D
