Viattorre cues??

[ctran]

Hi,

I have been looking for a solid playing sneaky for a friend of mine. and I was offered a nice looking Viattorre sneaky. but this is the first time I have ever heard about Viattorre cues, so I am asking for your opinion on how it plays, if you have tried one.

thanks for your input.
Cuong.

they're great cues. they're made in the philipines but don't let that freak you out. they make their cues right and from what i've seen they stay straight in the states too.

they're the southwest of the PI

I had his BIGGEST Cue (Masterpiece) and the second is still here in my Collection. Viattorre was with Bandito PHilis BEST Cuemakers and now is ONLY Linds the Rest from the holy Glory Crew.
They are play super B and stay straight outside the Phils:thumbup:
Wish he came back.

Viattorre Cues

Jackson Tan is no longer, (I believe I am correct), making cues but those he did make are loved by every owner. I have one that is for sale. They are really hard to find. Send me your email and I will send you some photos of the cue I have.

I think he stopped making them in 07 or 08? I love mine, it is in my sig.

thanks for the input, it seems I have been offered a real gem.

sent you a pm, though I am afraid your cue exceeds my budget

Paulie's was one of the last made in 2007. I wanted to get that cue back after being dumb and trading it, so yeah they are good cues.

Just so you know, one of the original shafts did warp. Had a 314-2 made with the ringwork.

I have 4 Viattorre Custom Cues: 2 play cues, a break cue, and a jump cue. After 6-7 years, my cues have managed to stay straight even if 2 of them are 1pc solid butt constructed and were subjected to temperature & humidity changes when I moved to Canada from the Philippines.

My solid Purple Heart VCC still remains my favorite play cue even if I'm now using another custom cue to I play since I don't want to wear out my Via. But whenever I do get to play with it, I usually get reminded why I had fallen in love with its great balance, feel, and playability in the 1st place.

If you're looking a lively cue with great feel and solid construction, you won't go wrong with a Viattorre especially with the original custom shaft. Get your hands on it if you find 1 since they're pretty rare nowadays ever since Jackson Tan, the owner, retired from cue making last June 2007
