 Viattorre
Custom Cues was started with a dream. The dream was to be able to make
world-class pool cues that not only looked great, but more
importantly, played great! To Jackson Tan and his partners Noli (seen
to the left of Jackson) and Bud (seen to the right) playability means
having the player use the cue not just as an extension of his arm but
rather feeling the cue directly as a part of him. To attain this goal,
Jackson and his team decided to enhance the overall integrity of their
cues by fully threading and gluing ALL of the major components. Utilizing this
level of craftsmanship takes time, but it produces a cue second to
none in it's soundness of hit and overall quality. Viattorre cues are
not only cues with great balance and overall solid performance, but
they are truly beautiful as well. All Inlay work is done without the
aid of either CNC or pantograph machines. Each inlay piece is cut and
shaped with hand tools that have been especially made for each
specific task. The results of this level of individualized
craftsmanship makes each cue that is produced a treasure to own. The
only components that are not made in the shop are the rubber bumper
and the tips.
Jackson and his partners are men of high integrity as well as Master Craftsmen
with a strong desire to
build quality playing cues at affordable prices. Their techniques
reflect their philosophy of quality craftsmanship combined with
artistry and their goal for making the best playing cues that can be
produced. Jackson and his team build cues slowly and carefully with
more regard for the customer's ultimate satisfaction than with making
a quick profit. They thrive on repeat business and their customers are
their biggest advocates. |
