Bet this comment/question is one many of us here asked at one time. Maybe still asking, lol. I have owned a Mottey and presently own two Richard Blacks. Never owned a Nitti but would like to. Sold the Mottey but it was a great cue. After all Paul Mottey made it. One of the Black cues is a Black Baron Custom, and the other a Bushka I ordered from Richard and I had him put the Baron forearm on it and the Hoppe ring on the butt. Just to give it a little different look. My wife and I stopped...
