I had the good fortune to pick up a plain jane Pechauer cue in very nice condition for dirt cheap. I never had one before, never shot one before.
I will comment further once I have had a chance to try it out but I wanted to say right off the bat I was impressed with the shaft wood. Seriously.
Higher ring count than expected, tight and very straight grain.
I have not weight it yet, but this shaft is fairly dense. I checked it against my Joss and found the joint diameter thicker on the Pechauer, so that would account for a little more weight. And it looks like at least a full 13mm tip.
Anyway, I do not know how typical this is for this company, but on one of their bottom end cues I found some really nice shaft wood. Hats off to them.
I'll post more after I have a chance to play with it.
Honestly I'll probably end up giving it away or selling it cheap. But for cheap I get to try out a maker I never tried before. I always thought they were probably similar to Joss...but I can tell with the different joint diameter it is in fact quite different.
We shall see..... :smile:
