well i traded a omen i had for this cue about a month ago. the design is exactly what i wanted. mop notched diamonds and old school barbells. when i first got the cue the fit and finish were amazing. shafts fit snug inlays all straight and in line..absolutely perfect work. the hit was amazing but before i wrote a review i wanted to test drive it awhile. even new toys at christmas lose their luster after a few weeks. not this puppy..love it.. probably the best hitting cue i have..above my bluegrass's and my mid 70's joss west too. this cue has me playing every day.. anyone one looking for a nice priced custom with exceptional quality definately look into steve klein cues. :thumbup:
