First off, I'm a banger.. so any review I make on a cue must be taken with that in mind. I have Dean's cue that he mentioned earlier in the thread. It's a flat faced, ivory jointed model with his 3/8-10 modified pin. The cue plays great! I usually play with nothing but piloted cues in ivory or stainless, but this cue plays as well as anything I have ever owned. I've also been in contact with Pete, and with no sale on the near horizon, he still took the time to go back and forth via e-mail for hours. Lie another cue maker that I've been dealing with (and is making me a cue), Kenny Murrell, Pete never makes anything you say sound stupid, never talks down to you, and always has YOUR interests in mind. First class cue, first class cue maker, and a first class guy.. probably my favorite characteristic in any quality cue maker.
