VF 1

So as I think everyone knows I don't often share things, I am selfish in this way. But The TT thread has me so pumped up I decided to showcase a cue that I saw at VF. The cue is made by Chris Nitti out of FL, he's been doing some great work and I think from these pics you'll see what I mean. The cue is a 6 point cue, 3 hi Ebony and 3 low Ivory. This cue features a few firsts for Chris and I feel he nailed it, one being this is the first mitered box cue he's ever done and it's also the first Ivory plug Hoppe style cue he's ever done. I didn't take the best pictures but you'll get the point. Cue also features Leather wrap and an Ivory joint.

Jim <---Going to work on his picture taking skills

Very nice Jim. I'm coming to like that bumperless look. The only problem is that as anybody who has been to my house can verify my "pool bunker" is pretty tight quarters and those concrete walls are going to get hit on a back swing eventually. My compromise are the non-rounded bumpers.

<<== thinks Jim's picture-taking is just fine

Are those rounded diamond points? Just kidding, I like it, the butt plug is cool.

Tracy<~-~Can't believe, he just said that.

See I already apologized for the poor photos but I really didn't look at them good, honestly you're right those look rounded, but I can assure you the diamonds are as sharp as can be those points are not at all rounded. My photos make the cue look like a Schon.

Jim <----WTF

I like the bumperless look. However, I bang the but end of my cue down too much to go with that style, lol.

I had a Schon, with very sharp diamonds and very round points. It was half way right.
