Hi,
Here is a fully cored cue I am building I named "Diabalo" for Dan a very capable pool player of consequence who likes to fly low under the radar. I have assisted him in the design of this cue but to tell you the truth he has singularly made all decisions concerning every detail of the cue.
I will go so far as to say that he has not used one of my suggestions and is the designer of this cue 100%. I am very happy for this fact because this design process has been a huge factor of satisfaction to him and he has been at my shop once a week for the last month sweating every single detail. He has even come up with a very creative inlay designs which I am doing the CAD work on today. I figure how cool is that for a player to have a cue form his own creative process. When the customer is happy, I am also.
Here are some progress pics of this fancy player in the making. This has been a real labor of love for Dan as well as myself because I can see how passionate and involved he is by going thru this design process.
Thanks for looking,
Rick G
