    Very proud owner of this cue! The video really doesn't do it justice. The color and figure in the wood absolutely pop in person. The best part is this is the most balanced and solid hitting cue I've ever played with. Stroke feels pure and effortless.
    @Studiotronics was great to work with and I'm so thankful he agreed to take this project. He really is an Artist / Craftsman / Maker / Cool Guy

    Beautiful job! When I got out of high school in the early 90s I went to work for JOSS. My dad was best friends with the owner Danny, they ran together since the '60s and man they've got more stories than you could imagine.
    At the time Mike Siegel and Nick Varner were both sponsored players and I used to see those guys all the time and to this day and still friends with nick.
    Joss transitioned into a production cue manufacturer but we did build a very small amount of custom cues from scratch. I can tell anyone that's interested in your cues that they're built with precision and by what I've read and heard they hit amazing.
    People have no clue how difficult it is to get those points to line up like that, awesome work my friend.

    • @Studiotronics
      @Studiotronics  2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Mark, thank you for the kind words! Mike Siegel, Nick Varner, wow. Bill Stroud was at Joss right? Possibly had already left by then. I need to somehow leverage your comment to help me convince my wife that yes, we need a new metal lathe.
