Don't listen to your jealous so called friends,thats a solid choice you made.

Perhaps the rubbish label should be hung on your friends.........
Get what you like… Who waited 15 years, you or your friends?
If you’re buying purely for resale, ebony might be easier to sell. It also costs more.
You have to consider how certain woods will impact weight.
Laurie told me that all ebony cues are made with their slim-taper, which, supposedly, can’t be felt in the hand.
I‘m not even sure if cocobolo was available when I ordered mine last year. If it was, it may have had the highest upcharge and possibly even shipping restrictions, but don’t quote me on that.

The vast majority of how a cue plays is in the shaft. A Southwest shaft may or may not suit your current game, but you can always get an add-on shaft that works for you. In general, and in my opinion, a Southwest is best left in storage since it is so collectible. The main advantage of a Southwest butt is that it impresses those who know what it is. Order what looks good to you. A fancier one will probably appreciate more but the cue market is fickle.
Needs stitch rings instead. Wish Kaiser would make this model. What do they consider rubbish about it?
I don’t know much about Southwest Cues, but I believe at one time someone posted the wood combo that Jerry liked the best. I’d go with that if available. I think it was Pau Ferro and possibly rosewood, which is probably not available. Otherwise I’d like a Birdseye plain jane with rings at all points.
Did he like the look or the making of one?
Pretty sure the posting said He thought it was the best combo for a playing cue, in regards to harmonics or tonality. Again, I know nothing about Southwest, just recalling a prior post. I’m sure someone could find it here on AZ.
Thanks for your reply. Actually, I've only been playing billiards for half a year. Like a level 1 player picking a Level 100 weapon. The main reason for buying this cue is that it looks good, and the brand convinced me that the workmanship and materials would be good. I'll get my cue tomorrow. I'm really, really looking forward to it
What is the Best Cue Wood?
Meaning, if you don't care about what the cue looks like....just all the stuff that matters. Tip to butt bumper. Snooker players are fond of ash, pool players are fond of Maple? A cue made entirely out of straight grain maple, unmolested, no...

You sprung for a Southwest for a first cue? Lawyer or Politician?Thanks for your reply. Actually, I've only been playing billiards for half a year. Like a level 1 player picking a Level 100 weapon.

These two practices probably don't have that much time for pool
