Well i am writing this for the 2nd time,i accidently deleted it the first time. 
I aquired this cue at a great price from Troy also know here as Koinkid,the cue arrived quickly and it was nice to go out and hit some balls,its been 3 weeks since i have played.
The cues forearm and butt are made of jatoba,the 4 points are dirty maple and the cue weighs in at around 18.5 it felt like.The cue has a 3/8-10 pin and no collars on the forearm or shaft which was weird because i have only had sneaky petes like that.The butt felt thin compared to other cues i have owned,but i liked the way it felt in my hand.The balance was alittle forward which is also appealing to me.The finish was super glossy and the points were all nice and even,the woods used looked great also.
Now for the most important part,the hit.I have to say i started with an SS jointed cue and then went to the big pins as it was all the rave,the past year i played with SS cues again,it felt alot better playing with a big pin cue.The hit is very solid and felt stiff,a straight shooter indeed.I was drawing the ball well with the cue and following the ball 3 rails around the table with ease.
I was in action for 5 hours and won 5 out of 6 sets i played,not bad for not playing for 3 weeks and playing with a a new cue.I cant say anything bad about the cue,it was close to some of the big pin Phillippis i have owned,to be honest this cue felt better.The only thing i didnt like was the wrap,im fond of leather and i think on this cue tan leather would be the nuts,so maybe when i take some more money off the light i will have it done.Thanks Troy for the great deal and thank you Joe Baker for making a sweet player,your highly recommended IMO.
Here are some pics.
