Just got mine in the mail yesterday (the one in the top in the pictures above) and got a chance to hit with it last night! Thought I'd write a quick post to let everyone know how it turned out.
First of all, this cue is absolutely gorgeous. The pictures really don't do it justice. It has a very clean, elegant look to it - not too busy but not too plain either. Beautiful work.
Second, it hits like a ton of bricks. Definitely felt the difference in my break immediately, although admittedly I was using a pretty crappy break cue before. Busted a 9 on break on my second hit with it, so I think that's a good sign. All night I was consistently hitting a rock solid break. I'm also not great at jumping, but I was getting the cue ball airborne pretty easily, and even pocketed a few jump shots.
All in all I could not be more happy with this cue. Thanks a lot!
