As VIATTORRE CUSTOM CUES has retired last June `07 from making wonderful handcrafted cues, I would like to share with you the rest of my collection of VCC's set, and one of the last VCC's made, which I've gotten last June 19, `07, from Jackson himself (I got my 1st VCC last Nov `06).
My set of collection is composed of break, jump, play, & reserve play cues wherein my very own concept & designs were skillfully crafted by VIATTORRE CUSTOM CUES. The set comes in pairs, the HEIHO & the DAISHO.
As far as we know, the DAISHO is the FIRST set of cues that has ever used the SAMURAI'S SWORD as its inspiration
