Fantastic cue, premium feel. Cuetec is great. I switched to the svb gen 1 from my meucci and overall I like the feel of the svb a little better. Both are good, but I have seem to be playing better with the svb. For 700 bucks this is one of the finest performance cues on the market. Visually the cue isnt as nice as my meucci but the performance is top notch. I 100% recommend this cue.
