My "flipping" has never been for profit, but rather to give me an idea what kind of cues are floating around out there and how they feel and hit. I have enjoyed the opportunity to hit balls with a lot of cues during that time.
I recently found a cue that has everything I want in a cue with the help of Steve Blackburn and Joe and Mark from Pool Table Magic. I also had input from Barry Szamboti, who told me a little about the cue's history. Thanks, guys!
It was built in 1992 with three shafts. The cue has never been refinished and looks to have been played a lot, but has been well taken care of. The shafts were made thin (one was 12mm and the other two are 12.5). I just added three approximately 13mm shafts with matching rings that were built for another cue at about the same time period.
This wasn't a closet queen for the original owner and it won't spend anytime in mine either!
