I wish you well, my friend. I got a Mace J/B cue a year or so ago and would not let it go for anything. IMO, it breaks better than a Gilbert cue!
I wish Rick would get busy and make a few more. I was with him about 2-3 years ago at DCC. He literally sold 10 of these cues from the time he got to the hotel until he got to his room. He was sold out before he got to his room and once people saw him, they came up and kept asking if he had more.
