New Cue Priorities - Billiards-Talk Forums

jgpool · December 30th, 2006, 11:30 AM

If you were having a custom cue made for future investment/playability, what would be your top 5 priorities to incorporate into that cue? Here are my 5 uneducated guesses.

1) Name of maker
2) type of inlays (ivory, etc)
3) # of inlays
4) wrap
5) rings

Let's see, 1. Solid Ivory joint 2. G-10 pin for feel 3. Mitered points 4. nice set of rings in all positions 5. Weight 19.25oz. 6. Balance 19" to 19 1/2" from butt.

I have Pat Diveney designing an Ebony 3 section wrap less cue for me now with these specs. I hope it will be ready for me in August. If you have never hit with a Diveney your missing out, try one if you can, you'll love it.
