Clayton,
I received Clint’s Flinty Glint Sint and Toots today!
Beautiful cue love the feel and play. My daughter has already laid claim to it. She won’t let me touch it. She told me I can sell her McDermott to pay me back for it. I just have to laugh about it.
Thank you again. I almost feel guilty for the price paid on the auction on both of the cues I have bought from you. The craftsmanship and quality are second to none. Design and style are amazing. I don’t see anyone else doing what you do.

I just received “gone to church” today, a masterpiece!!! Highly recommended!! Very well balanced and well made cue. I own 100 cues, this is one of my Favs, can’t wait to get another

Good afternoon. Today I received the jump cue I won on your auction site. You named it plot twist which is perfect. however, the name Holy $#!% would have been perfect as well. I would like to thank you for the constant communication you had with me through this process. As a professional you have been top notch every step of the way! This piece of art was shipped quickly, and the packaging was very secure (took 5 minutes to open). The beauty of the Iron wood paired with the purple heart is nothing short of stunning. Aesthetically what would I have changed? NOTHING. They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder and in my opinion this cue looks PERFECT! How does it jump, you may ask? It’s INCREDIBLE! This cue launches the cue ball with EXTREME ease, and it does so with pinpoint accuracy! I’m completely STUNNED on how this cue jumps!
Hats off to you Clayton,
Proud customer,
Tyler J Schulz

I can tell you how mine shoot. I have played for over 50 years and played serious league play for 25. Have owned a lot of cues, a lot of really cheap ones and some not so cheap. I own two of Clayton’s cues and both shoot very well, but, the latest one, ”Bob”, with the carbon shaft is magical, it has raised my shooting to a level that I have not shot in ten years. Try one, it will be great!

“I absolutely lucked into a really cool looking phenomenal cue from a maker that doesn’t have monster cue making rep and prices, yet! I highly recommend you all stop spending your money on painted stickers junk import cues and check out Character Cues. Each cue is unique, named, numbered and has heart! A gorgeous functional piece of art that the average person can afford.
Check him out! You won’t be disappointed.

I own two of Clayton’s cues with a 3rd being built. I’ve been playing this game for 50+ years and I must say that of all the cues I’ve shot with, these are some of the finest. Very well balanced with great feel and feedback. My main playing cue has been a Southwest cue for the last 20 yrs. which IMO is one of the finest cues ever made. It’s a rare day I don’t use the SW but lately it’s being left in my case more and more since playing with Clayton’s cues…. Why you may ask did I pick a Character cue. Just look at them. Have you ever seen such gorgeous lumber. I admit the beauty is what caught my eye. I was hesitant at first as looks ain’t everything. I gave one a shot, no pun intended, boy was I pleasantly surprised and elated how well they play. To boot, I love that Clayton holds back nothing in sharing with us his building techniques. I know wood quite well as I used to build custom cabinets and custom homes for some 40 years. I know quality and workmanship when I see it. Thanks Clayton.

Thank you Clayton. I am very pleased to own one of your beautiful cues. Look forward to doing buisiness with you again.

If your looking for a truly unique and one of a kind custom cue you can’t go wrong purchasing one of Clayton’s masterpieces!! I have been in search of a statement piece player’s cue and boy oh boy did I find one. I won the auction on Monday, sent my request of cue tips that night, and I was informed my “Conk Walker” was in the mail the very next day! Thursday i was shooting with and showing off this beauty. It was a pleasure to do business with Character Cues. The value far exceeds the price!!!

“I want to let you know that I really appreciate the care you take with your craft. This cue is a beautiful piece of work — and it plays well. I have used it now for a couple of weeks, and twice in amateur league competition, and I think I can say the weight, balance and overall feel have helped my stroke and accuracy…. [Carrot Cake is] the cue I will be using for the rest of my pool-playing life. Thanks, Clayton. And thanks again for the care and professionalism you bring to your work.”
Character Cues: “CARROT CAKE” –J Sopko
I have three of your cues now and all of them are not just works of art but they are also the best cues I have ever shot with and I have shot with many over my 64 years the balance and craftsmanship is excellent and the best part is they are all 1 of 1 not like any other 1 of 1 I have seen thank you next may be a nice break cue the ones I have are just to nice to ever brake with keep up the great work
Character Cues: HOLD MY BEER — Andy Leftwich

Are there any break cues?
Jack, thanks for the perfect question. I haven’t made it public yet, but I have 20 all-hickory butts hanging, ready for their final turn. They are not cored sticks. I’m using hickory butts paired with hickory shafts, and Triangle tips, which ought to be similar to breaking with a howitzer.
I was planning on a collarless design because I like the hit you get without collars, but I can finish them either way.
My goal for the cues was to have something sleek and classy that is easy enough to build that the price can be low. I’m not sure if folks will like the collarless design, so I’ll let you tell me how to do the first one, and then I’ll auction it with a buy now price of $400. I have repair jobs to do this week and a custom build, but I expect to have a break cue listed at auction in a week or so. I’m also going to be implementing new auction software, as the program I’m using now is terrible.
So what do you think? Collarless like my hickory jump cues, or with collars?

Yes. The next auctions will be much better, more info, better layout, everything. I already have the program…..
I bid 1000 on perfection and somehow lost the auction to a 920 bid but I am very interested in buying a cue please email me at your earliest convenience so we can make a plan
I’m sorry to hear about your experience. I have sent you an email. Thank you for your comment!
Clayton
Doesn’t hurt to ask I hope. No direct purchases? Love the artistry!! Thanks for your time.
Tracy, thank you, first off! And yes, direct purchases are available. If you check the HANGING tab, those are cues that are waiting to be finished, and are available for purchase. When someone purchases before finishing, they have the option to customize what’s left to customize, shaft species, length to a degree, weight to a degree, pin, etc. Cues that are not purchased directly will eventually be auctioned.
Hands down you do some beautiful work. One day I hope to afford one. I couldn’t even afford a Meucci but I own a pool table. lol
