Just an FYI. RoneJ (and possibly Worx) are all upper level Filipino Cue makers. I recently bought a cue from a Filipino Cue maker that calls his cues Vhante. This cue makers name is actually Steve Urate, and he does very good work. My experience with Vhante (and other Filipino cue makers) is this. They can (and usually do) make a very attractive cue that would cost you much more to obtain here in the USA. The inlays will not be laser perfect, but the work is what I would call high quality, and the finish is comparable with any fine cue on the market. It would take a very close inspection to see the the filler work used around the inlays. The hit is usually good and solid, but will vary (as it will with any cue maker). The cues are a very good value for the money, but your resale value here in the states will probably not be as good as a cue made by a better known cue maker (such as an plain entry level Coker, Espiritu, or Prather, etc.). If you want a one of a kind cue to play with, but you dont want to pay out $700 or more, I would recommend one the Philippine cues from Urate, RoneJ, or Gracie. They all do high quality work.
