Receive for Xmas gift. Nice set sticks and smooth/easy to handleGreat stick… no issues with weight difficultyLove the color,and how it feels when I shoot the cue ball.tip was lop sided. took a bit of work to get it better. But I'll still need to do some work on it.GreatSent this stick back. They sent it with a broken tip. What kind of company does this. Terrible onesBent really quickly (less than 50 games). Can feel the weight moving in it as well. Poor quality.Compared to my old cue (bought at a local billiards shop), it's similar in weight and finish. This cue's tip is not quite as substantial, but decent. Definitely better than the other Tai ba cue. The big difference is the tip end of this cue has a matte finish which allows it to glide smoothly over your hand.The design and finish of the cue is nice. The case is just alright... The screw joint is pretty decent and the caps for them have the same tiger symbol on them so you can identify them as a match. If the case we're slightly better, and the cue tip were just a bit better I would have given 5 stars.
