This cue was owned and played with by Pete Margo and has signed paperwork from Margo to verify its prominence. The cue is a 1965-66 Titlist refinished by Jerry Rauenzahn. Jerry also matched a Predator partial shaft for it so I can use it as my daily player. It hits Balls out!! Rock solid.

Thanks for looking. If anyone ever needs a cue worked on Jerry Rauenzahn is the MAN!!! Thanks Jerry R.!!!
 
I Told You!

I only started using Jerry ony after woudering if I was impossing on my friends Timi and Mike. If I have a Scruggs cue they do the refinish. Everything else goes to Jerry. It is hard to beat his over 30 years experience. His turn around time is fast too.
Timi puts there repair work at the head of his list because he knows he has a cue you are missing. And I was hard pressed to find anything close to Tim and Mike's quality and turn around time.
Jerry is the closest thing! I have told a few people about Jerry's work and they are always sceptical. They always thank me later!! No prolems or worries with Jerry. I am glad I could help you Mr John.
And one more thing, SWEET CUE !!!
Nick :)
 
John,

Jerry is the miracle man if it's the same cue I saw.

Did that cue have one point that was damaged, or had a dark spot on the inner point/veneer area? I saw one Pete had, but I was afraid to buy it because I wasn't sure what was under the surface if sanded.

Now I'm kicking myself! Paradise cues are hard to find.

Chris,
Yes, this is the same cue. I took a chance that it would refinish and clean up. I know I paid too much, but how many Frank Paradise cues become available for sale??? They are harder and harder to find, especially ones with some prominence. I have a very soft spot in my heart for titlist cues. I love the solid feel, the fat butt in the palm of my hand. It balances so nicely. All I can say is Jerry Rauenzahn can do wonders with a cue. Every time I look into the finish I see 40+ years of history potting balls all over the country. If only this cue could talk.

The cue cleaned up fine. Frankly, I should have kept it. I have been actively looking for Paradise cues but I only have two, one fairly common House Special and one really nice Diamond King. I guess you can't get too picky.

I have 4 cues I also want to show here. Keep an eye on cue gallery - I'll try to get pics taken tomorrow.
