Viattorre/Dominiak

Good reputation is earned the hardway in custom cues.
Looks like Jack Tan and his crew have earned a good reputation.

Dreco- I can get you a better price than $500 for a 1009 model! Email me and I'll send you some photos of what I have and how much each cost!
Thanks,

Hey Zim... I sent you a pm a few days ago...

Yea Dominiak does make a great cue for the moeny. I purchased my Dominiak 1009 curly maple with ebony inlays opisit of the design of zims 1009 cue with the same woods. I am actually looking to purchase another dominiak the DW1003. Zim is a great guy to work with and he will help you out with anything you need. He is very patient and so was i after waiting 2 months for my cue to be finished but he does have them in stock. If you like stif hitting cues like a preditor the dominiak is the way to go with the money your talking about.
 
I do like the 1009 model, it was my first choice of the cue to get, I don't like wraps on cues all that much. But when I got the chance to design my own cue and get all the bells and whistles that I wanted for the same price, I had no choice but to jump on the deal. I still may purchase the 1009 anyway. Depends if Uncle Sam and I are on the same page this year or not.
 
I think I might lean towards a Viattorre, I called Jackson and the price he gave me is well within my budget and he sounded like a real nice guy so I might let him get to work on my cue, but I sent him a picture of another design I was interested in and I'm waiting on a quote for the second design.
 
I became intrigued by this Viattorre too and did a search on them. I found this review on one of their cues. It looks like it's a well built cue. Here's the URL if anyone wants to take a look. I can't believe someone's crazy enough to do that to his cue but there's all kinds in the pool world.

Cues from over seas!

Yes folks, your taking a chance buying a cue that was built over seas.

This statement is too generalized and bordering on prejudice. Every "concientious" cuemaker, no matter where he/she is, who takes pride in his craft go through great lengths to further his craft and take measures to assure customer satisfaction.

Warpage is a problem to all cue makers. We do all we can to prevent it happening to our cues.

Exactly, "We" meaning all. No matter where this craftsman is if he really goes the extra mile because of his pride for his product. Not a single region has a lock on this trait. Just getting a wood based product from another region in North America to be used in another region can have this problem (warpage) if the product wasn't quality constructed.

If you buy from over there, who is going to back it up when warpage or other problems occur?

The craftsman who takes pride in his work! But.....
<Here, I'll be donning my wise consumer cap> If I can find a craftsman within 100 miles from my location and I have come to conclude that his construction method and artistic approach is to my satisfaction plus I find him as a human being that I can positively deal with. I will purchase from him as post-sale support will be more convenient.

Poorly planned and constructed overseas made cues will warp in the USA and so too poorly planned and constructed US made cues will warp overseas.

Buy American, support your brothers, sisters, kinfolks, and all AMERICANS.

In all honesty, I applaud you for doing your share as IMO America, as with any other country, does need to patronize its locally made products of equal quality first in order to help its economy. Charity does begin at home.

Blud, I know that you look forward to your overseas sales and in this respect, I know that the "overseas craftsmen too look forward to their US sales. It's a Global Economy thing.

You got way the best of it with American made goods. You might pay a little more, but it's worth it in the long haul.

The consumer who's forking out the green has the final say, always!
