Introducing a wrapless " tuxedo" cue by Bill Spillson of Myrtle Beach S.C. It's ebony on creamy holly. It weighs about 19.2 oz., with 2 13mm. shafts.Bill makes his own g-10 pins. The shafts seem to spin on then lock down tight. The cue plays extremely well,but you have to try it to appeciate it. 1495 shipped conus. Now I know you AZers are not going to spend 1500 on a cue made by a person you never heard of.Accordingly my return policy is you may return the cue undamaged within 5 days for a full refund. I will reimburse you the return shipping. I will include a cube of grey chalk so we can keep the blue off the cue. Seriously it's a hell of a cue. Also there is a pic of some of Bill's other work.

I'll bet that if this cue was a tasc, chudy,gina,black,zam,searing,carmeli,or a b. boar to name a few, it would be long goooooone. But I'll also bet it looks and plays as good as any of them. I know that one of the things you think about(my self included) when you're looking at a cue, is can I get my money back out of it if I try to sell it or want to trade it.It's not a boatload of money,like you would pay for those others. Those others are great cues, but so is this one

Here is another example of Bill's creativity.How did he do the 'spiral' handle?

I'm betting 25.00 (the shipping cost of returning the cue) that if you buy the cue you will keep it. There is no risk. Think how much this cue would cost if it was made by one of the "names", or how it plays compared to the "names". Lets be honest all sellers cues play jam up. This way we can make sure it plays jam up for YOU.Reasonable offers considered.

When is the last time you saw a 3 prong cue? Here's one. I neglected to point this out.Since most cues have a similar design, it's nice to see something a little different. There have been over 700 hits on this thread but 0 responses.I would appreciate feedback from AZers, good .bad, or indifferent. Is it too expensive? Do we need escrow,though I have a 100% trader rating and EVERY buyer of a cue from me is satisfied? Questions? Call me at 843-347-9136. Thanks Rufus

The cue is beautiful, it is out of my range but should be within reach of many of the players on this forum. You are offering a sweet deal, maybe some local AZ'ers could chime in on this guys cues? John

PS there is a black hole when I google Bill. Maybe a link to a website?

Thanks for your comments John. Bill's website is down right now. What did you think of the examples of Bill's work. He thinks out of the box.Did you note the fact that the cue is not a 3 point cue but a 3 'prong' cue. Not many cue makers do this. If you had a chance to play with it you would know it's well worth 1500.

There seems to be a little confusion as to the difference between a point and a 'prong'. I'm not an engineer, so maybe these pics may explain. While my cue is a 3 prong, here is an example of a 2 prong.
