One of the superior sticks I’ve used
Am thrilled with this stick, still getting myself broke into it after using a Joss cue for years. Action is better than anticipated and I have way more control over the cue ball.

Nice-looking workmanship
Without a doubt, the shaft is a bit on the stiff side. Other that all of the GB Balabushka cues are gorgeous workmanship by Helmstetter! I put a Predator 314 shaft and is my favorite playing stick!
