Nick partnered up
with Cuetec in 2004. His abilities in many
disciplines bring a different perspective which
add well in the development of specialty
products such as the Python, Jump series and
most recently the R360.
"The R360 is the
shaft of the future" Once you try it, I assure
you, there is no turning back. Accuracy,
minimal deflection, balance and most important
the feeling that it is part of your arm."
