I have replaced the shafts with a Tiger X shaft with a Sniper tip as both original shafts seemed to have a flimsy hit, IMHO. However, the butt end of the Q, inlays, and the finish are second to none. The 2 shafts that came with it have a very poor loose grain, even tho they claimed them to b first quality wood (however, it has been 2 years and both are still straight).

One big name pro (everyone here would know the name) even said it was one of the most beautiful and well made Qs that he had ever seen and wanted to know who made it, and I said it was a PI Q. They could not hand it back to me fast enough. Then u would have thought it was a pariah. All admired the Q and said how great it was and how good it hit, until they found out it was a PI Q.

I showed it to several Q makers at the convention, plus a couple of pros. Sorry, I can't post a pic as my puter recently crashed and took all my pics with it. Extremely long, sharp ebony points and highly carved ivory. It is made of ebony/well figured bird's eye/tiger maple, no wrap and I don't know what the spalted wood is in the handle, with all white being ivory.

I recently attended the Valley Forge PA Q maker's convention/tournament. That said, I want to relate a short story to this thread. I am just here to learn, so I hope the people who really know these things not to flame me. I am just wondering, is that because their cuemaking technique are bad? not matured? or because of the humidity of US are too difference from Philipine that the cue or shaft will wrap for sure when it arrives in US, or whatever reason. However today After I have searched thru AZ and found out a lot of ppl complaining, including some of frequent thread posters, it seems their cues are not reliable at all, and certain will not be as good as they look on the pics when you receive them. Miranda, Gracie, Patrick (fillipino one), and a Ebayer name is your_supercue, etc, well, from the pics, their cues look nice, I was tracking them, but have not bought any from them. (sorry about these words, just want to say hi to everyone)Īt the first the spot, I have seen a few fillipino cue makers, their design.well for sure are the copies of GINA, JW and McWorter for sure. I have been watching all kinds of cues around all kinds of web sites and Ebay, too. I have been a pool player for more than 10 years, but just started to be interested into cue making and custom cues since last year. I have been to AZ for a couple of months, but since I am really a beginner of cue making and custom cues, I did not post things because I do not want my ignorance to embarass myself
