Share your specs.

[Kimmo H.]

I can't be sure if a thread like this has been here before, but I thought it'd be nice to see what people like to play with here and gather it all in one place
I know that there is the Cue and Case gallery to show off your cues, but not too many users seem to even browse that section, so maybe the Main Forum has enough space for this thread too. I'm sure that we'll get a lot more replies here

Share your cue(s) specs here, pictures are more than welcome too :wink:

Heres a quick list to fill in if you dont want to write an essay about your own precious You can share the specs for various cues if you wish, but lets keep this mainly about the cues that we play with most of the time.

If you'd like to add something to the list below, please ask and I'll add it in there.
