Stick H003: Perfection
Quick ViewCurrent Bid: $0.00Cue is Finished. Don’t miss the videos at the bottom of the page!
The cue is named PERFECTION because I was feeling my oats when I saw the joint pin go in. After I realized most folks wouldn’t know that, I realized I’d run my mouth beyond my skill.
I wished I’d named the cue PRETTY DAMNED GOOD — just to take the pressure off — and wondered how much face I’d lose if I changed it.
Any face is too much. All we have is what we are, so we’d better damnwell be true to it, and authentic. The shame of changing the name would be even worse than not living up to perfect ambition. So I soldiered on.
I’m reminded of the scene where the drill instructor says, If God would have wanted you up there he would have miracled your ass up there by now...
Well, I received a miracle. This a nice cue.
Nice.
It’s a TOTAL PACKAGE: Play, break, jump.
PERFECTION arrives with a matching jump handle, purple heart shaft, and birch shaft (what I play with) and FOUR joint protectors.

Stick 75 Reveille!
Quick ViewCurrent Bid: $875.00The Reynoldsville Food Pantry in my eyes is the literal hands and feet of Jesus. It exists because people choose to love one another, especially those who for whatever reason at the moment are not among the prosperous, and whose need for that love is palpable in their lives. The Food Pantry matters like few things do. Old people. Young people. Unemployed. Underemployed. Disabled. Souls of all kinds. Read the parable about the sheep and goats: When we help them, we help Him. Christ calls himself these people.
And I’m thankful because I’m a headstrong fool and got myself into a pickle, and the Reynoldsville Food Pantry made what few dollars I had pay a lot more bills than they otherwise would have. I’m grateful, and because of that as Character Cues grows, it is going to do its utmost to share the love of Christ to hungry people in my neck of the woods.
All of the proceeds of this auction cue will benefit the Reynoldsville Food Pantry. If you are able, please go deep on this one. It matters to real people.

PS: I picked a genuwayan humdinger stunner of a cue for the benefit! Black cherry burl, maple with the squiggles, purple on green diamond inlays, and a birch shaft with a matching burl ring — it’ll play like maple with attitude. And mixed-martial arts training.
You’re going to feel good winning this auction.

A word about shafts:
I build shafts out of ten species and carbon fiber. My advice is this: if you have a shaft you love to use, buy this butt to match that shaft. If you’ve heard of a famous shaft that you’d like to try, buy that shaft to match this butt.
However, if you’re into the art of it and want to have fun, try something new, and make your Character Cue fully badass, consider one of my ten species or carbon fiber with a like-wood decorative ring.
Read about the different species here: https://charactercues.com/comparing-10-shaft-wood-species/

To add a shaft, joint protector or extension, please email me at Clayton@CharacterCues.com.

Stick H002: I Like Her Knees
Quick ViewAuction EndedTerrific, I love it, just got home and already packed my McDermott break cue away. Even the house pro said it hits really well. He actually liked it over his…. But seriously I love it. Even not getting to use it as often as I typically would. House Pro is really good. — Douglas Michel
I started making solid hickory break cues because the wood is hard enough to dull your equipment fast. Hard wood means hard hits. That’s good for breaking. The quote above is from Doug, who bought and just tested JFW (just wow), my first hickory break cue.
Hickory breaks. It just makes sense.
But when I was testing my first hickory break butt I decided to see how she handled a birch shaft with a 12mm Royal Oak tip — what I usually play with.
Omigooness!
Comes with shotgun shell joint protector and tip installed. 1 oz weight bolt optional.
If you win the auction for I LIKE HER KNEES and would also like to use her for regular play, for another $200 add a birch or other species shaft, and for $100 add a hickory jump handle to pair with your hickory shaft. Then you’re prepared.
