3.0 out of 5 stars
It's a good beginner cue, December 7, 2007
Contrary to the product description, the one I've received is 19 oz, and there isn't any easy way to replace the weight bolt. It seems that all MFH2X60 series come in two flavors - 19 or 20 oz. If you really need to specify the weight, you'd better look elsewhere. On the other hand, this is a pretty good beginner cue stick. When the two pieces are put together, the center of mass is about 4.5'' from the top edge of the grip. I'd have given it 4 stars if those "Made in China" labels weren't so hard to remove (in fact, I had to use isopropanol to clean off the adhesive residue along the shaft).

4.0 out of 5 stars
pretty nice for a $40 cue, December 1, 2009
This review is from: Minnesota Fats Hustler High Tech Grip Graphite Cue (Sports)
Decent stick, I got the 20 oz metallic silver one, which is actually more of a gray or charcoal in my opinion, but no big deal. My issues were the same with the stickers as other reviews above and I kind of wish I could get rid of the big "GRAPHITE" graphic that's on it, and the packaging (I bought this item at the same time as a case for the cue) was in a box about 4x larger than it needed to be that arrived from UPS open. I left packaging feedback recommending next time using a shipping tube to send it. When I took out the cue though and removed all the wrapping, the cue was fine even though it practically fell out of the box. I have played about 40-50 games with it now, and I do like the feel of it, including balance, weight, solidness, and the way it glides through my bridge hand (I think that's the graphite talking - probably won't ever need hand chalk), and it's straight as an arrow too. It does have a funny taper to it just after the joint on the tip end, and I did think the grip would be a little different, like maybe rubberized or something (seems more like paper wrapped around it instead), but it's fine overall. If you're a pro looking for perfection, be prepared to spend $200 minimum, and up to $500 or even more, but this cue will be just fine for anyone on the amateur to lower-mid level. I mostly just play in bars and small time tournaments, and it definitely beats any bar's house cue I've ever used.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Not a perfect cue but a great one nonetheless, July 7, 2010
Overall, I'm quite happy with the purchase, I was a little hesitant when I read the reviews about the stickers leaving too much residue once removed and all, but I had no problem removing them, I did not use any products as some reviews recommend I was only careful when doing it, the weight of the cue is excellent, it gives you a very balanced feel when playing, the design of the cue is very elegant, even though it is a little hard to look at the details of it on the product images, the reasons why I'm not giving it the 5 stars are 1- As some other reviews mention, the "GRAPHITE" word seems a little out of place and 2- The cue comes with instructions as to how to adjust the weight settings, but it is not that easy I think they're for a different model, I rather not mess with that because I might end up damaging the cue and as I mentioned before the weight it has is more than ok for me. But overall it was a great purchase I recommend it.
