Hey everyone I am currently at my straight pool league night. I am the league operator and we are having a very successful season for the first one out.
Before we go any further let me say my knowledge of the technical terms when it comes to cues is nowhere near some of yours but Im going to give it my best shot to review this cue the best I can.
Now on to the fun part.
I got to try out the sneakiest pete cue that was sent to me today with a radial OB-2 shaft.
First let me say that the shipping process was perfect cue arrived smooth and with no problems and although a minor part of the cue purchasing or selling process I find it can be a most important one.
Second, upon opening the cue from its wrapping I noticed it was a little more solid than I was expecting. It felt like you had a cue in your hands and not a featherweight piece of junk from KMART. Now i wasnt expecting anything otherwise but it was nice to feel something so solid. I am a fan of wrapless cues as it is but this piece of wood is very pretty. From an aestethic stand point however the matching of the OB-2 with it is not a good color match however for me its function over form. Also the wording on the bottom of the cue makes it look a little "cheaper" than it should. Perhaps the placement and style of this could be re- thought however this is just my opinion.
I chalked the cue and took a couple of test shots with it in the beginning of the day today and the cue felt great. Very firm hit with very little deflection if any on certain shots. The OB-2 really allows for a lot of spin on the cue ball with dead on accuracy as if you were hitting center ball. Again this cue feels real real solid and hits real firm.
I have let a few of my league players hit with the cue (softly dont worry lol) and they love it. Now some of these guys are D players and others are open levels and A's and everyone has echoed my sentiments exactly. A few have asked for contact information already for the cue maker to get cues of their own in various woods.
I got the shedua sent to me with a radial pin and OB-2 Shaft. You can clearly see the wood grain and it really is a beautiful stick in its simplicity. In my honest opinion i would like to try this with an original shaft. A lot of times I find when you put an OB or Predator Shaft on a cue they will play very similar.
So in closing I would have to highly highly highly recommend this cue to anyone.
