This poor old thing has been with me now for 11 years. It's a cored ebony forearm and butt sleeve 8 up / 8 down. All the white is ivory. I wasn't building cues at the time I bought this (was still only doing repair) and it caught my eye. This is indeed a Philippines made cue (Miranda) and contrary to what almost everyone told me, the points are even, the inlays clean and not thin and it has stayed as straight as any cue I've ever owned. I alternate playing with this and one of my own. The thing just plays really well and I can't see selling it for any reason (hell I probably couldn't anyway with the ivory ban...it gets confusing.)
YOURE SCARING THE CRAP OUT OF ME SCOTT!!!!!
One slight breeze and that gorgeous cue gets the wrong kind of battle scars!!
Please dont take photos like this ever again..LOL :slap:

Nice display. I see the second from the bottom is Jerry R. Isn't the third from the bottom also Jerry?
Almost forgot to add, Jeez, that was my 2,000th post.
All the best,

You're right, that's an -R- also. Gave that one to my son. So, technically it's still in the family.
The bottom cue (an -R-) and the top cue (another Olney) have left the herd though.
Yeah, the location looks pretty redneck. But no cues were harmed in the production of these photos.

This Murrell isn't going anywhere.
Restored Bill Hagan from the 80s. Cases aren't going anywhere either.

That H is surely a collectible playah!
Always liked Hagans..
Is the inside of the joint (maple) cracked, chipped, or broken or is it just the picture playing tricks on my eyes?
You mean where it looks black on the inside top of the butt? No crack or chip; just the lighting and there is what looks like black marker up against the phenolic. Don’t know why it is there but I inspected the cue very closely.

Ah, black marker makes sense. Good. I was hoping it was something like that because that may be a tough joint to repair if that weren't the case. I bet it hits em good. Enjoy it!
Bad news for Dean
He'll have a half dozen or so cues pass through his hands next week to console him. :wink:
