Purple Heart very under used in my opinion . Good looking cue nice proportions on the splice work as well , dont sell yourself short on your cue arm though . Have replied to P.M.

This cue sings diff compared to other one ( from the first vid) !! Nice cb response and realy Nice looking shaft on this cue !! This video is actually a proof and shows us ,that a player does'nt need a heavy cue to get more CB response !! ( Unfortunately, many players do belive the opposite ) ,,,,,,

How many hours a day are you putting aside for the cue work?

[j6uk]

this was a former onterio pool cue. now its a 9mm an a hitter

[j6uk]

im trying to put in two hours a day, aplying myself the same way as when i was practicing on the table.. when i made my first cue that i thought was a nice player, the feeling was very much like having your first ton. since then iv been making cues that not only play well but look an feel pretty good too, so for me thats like when i made my first 130+ break

I can imagine it will be an even bigger buzz if someone else makes a ton with a cue you made
