I was looking a carbon fiber break cue to replace my 25ox Rage. I was originally looking at Cuetec to match my play cue, but I decided to give these guys a change for something that is more than 50% cheaper than my other option. To start with, this is a beautiful cue. The black and gray gloss is very classy. As far is play goes, I am getting power with control. My only minor nits are that there is no white ferule or pad near the tip, which eels weird. The other minor issue is that the bumper is flat rather than rounded and it does sit properly in my cue rack. I would recommend. Also, the Rhino gloves are really good.
