"i got this cue for my son as he did not have a cue of his own. I was really interested in comparing it to other budget-friendly cues like Lucky, Players, etc. I also used to shoot a Viking some time ago and was interested in Valhalla. The cue came out of the package in great condition. The tip was scuffed and shaped and the weight was correct. No damage either. It shoots really nice, but is not the usual weight I use. I would say the two things that I can see which are different from a Lucky cue would be that the tip is not as nice and neither is the finish of the shaft. Overall good cue for the money though and my son really seems to like it. Would perhaps purchase again. "

"I have bought these gloves before. They are a good value well made product and preform exactly as they should. I relieved my gloves in a timely manner and as always when dealing with Heath, he is always helpful and professional. If you need pool equipment I recommend checking Heath's website first."

Advantages: If you have never used a glove to shoot with you really need to try one.The difference and the smoothness of your stroke is amazing. Once I started wearing a glove the difference is like night and day. You will never go back to shooting without a glove once you try them.

Disadvantages: The only thing I can say about the Sure Shot gloves is the sizing.I have what I consider a medium size hand so the first gloves I ordered were medium. When I got the gloves they were extremely tight. I could wear them but I didn't like the tight fit, so this time I ordered large instead of the medium and the fit is perfect. So you might want to go one size larger than what you think you need. The glove sizes seem to run small. Other than size issue I like these gloves a lot.

"Love this cue. Had it customized with a 12mm tip. Best thing I could have done. The control on short shots is excellent. With a little practice, the long shots were true. Really excellent value. Given Coved, there was a hitch with the order which Heath corrected immediately. Great cue. Amazing service. Why buy anywhere else? Thanks Manning Cues! "

"Sil Kleen Cue Cleaner, in my opinion, this product is great for cleaning cue."

Advantages: makes cue glide through your bridge

Disadvantages: if applied right I haven't had a problem.

"this product fooled me at first, but after I used a few times it serves the purpose. "

Advantages: it does what it's supposed to do.
for my use, it works out fine

Disadvantages: the only disadvantage, in my opinion,
it's lightweight. But other than that work fine for my use

"good chalk stays on cue tip "

Advantages: don't have to chalk up after every shot

"not as good g2-S AND f in my opinion but useable. "

"Great machine. I’ve been polishing my pool balls with a homemade machine and by hand for years. I should have bought this years ago . Very fast and very simple to use. Pool balls come out looking like new. Heath from Manning Cues personally took my order and shipped it immediately. I had it at my door in 3 days. Ready to use. The only drawback is the directions are awful but YouTube has videos showing how to change pads etc. great machine. Great seller. Couldn’t be happier."

"product is working just fine
goes on smooth. and stays on"

Advantages: not having to chalk up every time

Disadvantages: none so far

"Bought this shirt for my friend and he loved it! Its a medium size and fits him well. Great shirt he said!"

"I was shock that it didn't reach me together with my other stuffs- taught been missed or somebody took it... I send email to Heath and been shipped right away... the good thing is that Heath always take good care of his costumer.. Appreciate it much!"

"It fits very well to my Mcdermott GS Butt which lost the cap few Months back... It's a great value for the price! Thanks to Heath for awesome transaction.."

"Hustlin is very comfortable to wear and a lot of my playing buddies likes it... Its a good value for the price. Thanks to Heath as it delivered as I wore it during local tournament."

"I bought this tip for my son's small cue and after I installed it, he likes it and I liked it too! I am planning to try it on my extra custom shaft. Its a great value and a good hit."

"Awesome cue case! Great value for the $! I originally purchase the 3B/6S but Heath said it’s not available so I choose this one... It is more than what I expected as the case is light weight to carry and my cue and shaft fits well.. Thanks to Heath for fast shipping.."

Advantages: Light weight and nice compartment with quality..

"I recently purchased from Manning Cues the Spartan 5 with the 12.75mm LD Pro -Taper with the Kamui Black soft tip and I am starting to become a fan. I spoke with Heath at length about this cue prior to purchased. Well Heath came thru again. The uni-loc joint makes it interchangeable with the Predator Revo as well my other predator shafts. The beauty of this cue you need to have it in your hands to truly appreciate it. Job well done Spartan. Heath you’re gonna make me go broke ????"

"i was skeptical about this product working as advertised but using it for over a week now i have to say it really works well."

Advantages: can be used after every session but you need to vacuum the cloth every once in a while.

Disadvantages: a bit expensive for what it is.

"My personal opinion about the BK Rush is that, it one-upped my expectations.

From the start, I have an idea what I'd be getting my hands at for that cry-me-a-river cost.
I primarily seek the hybrid tip, which is not sold separately up to this point in time.
It's not so much about the carbon fiber despite being a significant contributor to the cost.

When I got the BK Rush, I expected it to allow me to break with more control. (It surely does.)
For instance compared to my $80 break cue, this allows me to break easier for the 8-ball game 2nd-ball break method.
If you are not familiar, this method requires a break with english.
And therefore, it is not as easy nor accurate when performed using a phenolic break cue.

What goes beyond my expectation was that, because it allows English to be imparted on the cue ball,
I was able to break and run* both 8-ball and 9-ball games with it. (Only once each game; I'm not an avid player; But I played with this cue enough to be able to comment)
After all, how many break cues allow you to draw the cue ball at table-length?

*But then also, just because it can doesn't mean that it's sufficient.
Compared to the regular playing cues, maybe other than house cues, the break cue still fare below them as far as performance for purpose of playing.

Why it matters to me is that, I have been looking for a second cue to add to the arsenal in the case that my primary cue is unavailable for some reason (i.e. the tip fell off).
After the starry eyes subsided in experiencing this cue, I'm now seriously considering whether or not I'd keep this break cue as a secondary playing cue as well.
I'd still give handicap in this case; but in an "emergency" situation,
it is actually not even close to desperado when continuing the game with this cue.

I went off a tangent there. We are supposed to be talking about a break cue... used for breaking right?
Well, as mentioned early on, I have an initial idea of what I'm expecting out of this cue. But it one-upped my expectations.
There is only so much to breaking, isn't there? But there are a lot more to this cue than just a controlled break.

This would be my honest impression about this cue.
"

Advantages: - Bestest (in my opinion) tip to ever be made

- Durability of Carbon Fiber Shaft

- Comfortable grip

- Ability to fine-tune weight to within 0.1oz

Disadvantages: - Cost

- As break cue: none compared to others

- As playing cue: while English is possible, the tip can go as far right/left compared to using regular playing cue.
I'm aware that this is unfair as an advantage. But this means, there is a limit to the type of shots this cue can do when used as a backup playing cue.

"I waited a few weeks after receiving it to review this cue and I can say that I am extremely happy. I was hesitant to try carbon fiber but found that for me it hit even better than my maple Jacoby Hybrid LD cue.
Everything I researched suggested that there would be a "learning curve" when first using this shaft, but I had zero issue on shot number one. I was also pleasantly surprised with the Tiger Sniper tip and the ease of keeping the shaft clean.
I ordered on late afternoon on a Thursday and Heath had it to me in Ohio on Monday. I have ordered multiple items from Heath and I am definitely going to be a life long customer. His customer service is impressive as hell and if you've seen his YouTube videos you'll understand that he wants to give his all to the pool community. "

Advantages: Super easy to clean.
No glove required (which I always thought was needed with carbon fiber until speaking with Heath).
The "feedback" from the shaft is much much better than some other CF shafts I tried.

Disadvantages: I'm a little worried about the finish being easily scratched by abrasives (like chalk), and the fact it cannot be refinished. However this is common to all CG shafts and in no way a reflection on the Cynergy.

"Love the Simonis, I never thought that cloth could change the way a table plays by this much. I ordered a different color and Heath called to tell me about the color being back ordered, so I went with slate and couldn't be happier. Great customer service, fast shipping, great product, Manning Cues is the best!"

"This cue is beautiful. I feel like it was made just for me. I am 6'8" and ordered the 31" shaft, PERFECT! I have not messed with the weight balance adjustment because I like it the way it came. The cue took exactly 3 weeks to receive from time of ordering which is what I was told to expect. The Navigator soft tip that comes standard on the I2 shaft is fantastic. I am so glad I didn't switch it out for something different. It has a nice solid hit and feels great in my hands. The engage butt system makes attaching and detaching the 11" extension so quick and easy. Stretch shots are almost as easy as regular shots now.
