Over all I think it's a good cue however I'm not happy with it. It is not the same cue from the advertised photo. In the picture it shows it to have a bluish/ white tint in the ebony sections. And it certainly does not. That was the sole reason I bought this one. I'm also not very happy with the linen wrap as it seems to be double wrapped on the edge which will land up cause it to fray I'm sure
