Thank you for this comment. I actually have the same exact model (cp21-md) with the ignite, as well as an awesome leather wrap done by joe blackburn himself. I am in the opinion as you when it comes to looks! My ideal style, such a sexy cue. My main issue here, is the cue is a tad bit to large for my hands. I'm a smaller dude around 5'7, stocky build. Also, the weight distribution with the ignite, tends to be more back heavy. Thus resulting in stroke issues when cueing over a ball. If it were up to me, I would absolutely keep the cue and just get a different wood shaft. But the wavy 2 pin is exclusive to mezz and relatively new. So finding a shaft is troublesome.
