I'll have my BHQ cue shipped to me on Monday
 
Looking forward to it. I had a deal go bad on a used one and Brent swooped right in and had a new one for me ready to go. It'll be a purple Heart shaft so it's going to be kinda strange looking but it'll be awefully unique.

I'm sure I'll play with it but it'll be used for a break cue for the most part.

Great Looking cue Brent and Bishop your a man after my own heart, the Purple Heart Shaft is just the BOMB.;) Keep us informed on how you like it and how it plays.:) I too will have me a BHQ w/Purple Heart Shaft in about a year or so.:D If you decide you dont like it for any reason give me a holler.

you're too kind!!!!
spraying your cues right now floyd :)
and all three shafts
won't be a year my friend :D

The purple heart shaft should be fun. I don't think anyone I play with has ever seen anything like that so it'll be interesting when I break it out da ole "purple people eater".

In any event an old broomstick would be an improvement over my current J&J break cue so I'm pretty geeked up over getting this. I'm sure I'll love it and ccn7 don't worry I'll never let any cue I own go to Jazz. If I ever move it I'll hit you up first but please don't hold your breath lol.

Brent so you think I'M KIND...not compared to YOU. But,YES I AM KIND IN A WAY. I'm KIND of excited about my cues, did I say excited, well that doesnt even really give a good description how I really feel. I'm at a lost for the right word. Also i feel I'm Kind of lucky to be able to get such great looking cues as my first customs. And at such a reasonable price. This is where your sooooooooo KIND, passing off you talent to others so that we too can enjoy your passion and make our passion for playing that much more enjoyable knowing we have one of the BEST.

I have to speak up.I have not yet played with a purple hart shaft but I hear they break great.You could not get a better guy than Brent.His cues play so good you will want another one.I think it's like Lays patato chips (I bet you cant take just one).Hey Brent if you see this don't jack the price of my next two cues up.LOL

I got her today. It sat in my apartment complex's office for two days because I don't check my mail on a regular basis....what an idiot I am.

I'll get a chance to put the test drive on it tonight and a performance review to follow.

I will say this though, its a helluva lot nicer than I was expecting. With the unusual wood combos I didn't know exactly what to expect and even the wife was like "damn thats alot nicer that I thought it would be". The pics do zero justice to the fit and finish of the cue. Its just one of those things where its 10 times nicer in hand than in photo.

I can't imagine I'd find more stick for anywhere near that price. I get it now, this stuff is way underpriced. I would have easily paid double if I thought it would come out this good.

I'll let you guys know what I think of the Buffalo tip tomorrow. In the meantime you guys may want to hit Brent up while the gettin is good, he's not going to stay this underrated forever.

i guess it's better to be underated than overated :D
send more $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ :eek:
you're a character :p
hope you enjoy the cue
and thank you again

I don't know overrated isn't all that bad. Think about this for second, you could half-a$$ everything and charge 4 times the going rate. Then make a trip to my place here in Texas and spend the extra funds on the 3 B's...BBQ, Booze and Babes.

I'm game.

Bishop July 12th, 2007 06:58 PM

I'm happy to report this has worked out well for me. I've kept far more cue balls on the table with a considerable increase in ball spread. I love the feel of the purpleheart shaft. There doesn't seem to be any wiggle room at all with this cue, which is exactly what I want out of break cue. Solid, firm, strong hit.
