So I'm weird, I don't like to take photos of makers cues that I'm not buying. It feels like something someone would do to rip off their designs instead of just buying the cue.

Now vintage and used cues I'll snag photos of, but not new stuff.

Here are some pics of that new PK I picked up.

I own 40+ cues already. If I were worried about having too much in pool cues, I wouldn't be asking the question. Please stick to the topic! I even specifically clarified the topic because I ALREADY have cues that I like to play with. Was wondering about "lesser known" good cue makers?

The first SP’s used to be full splice and I liked them.
The later ones had an ugly “predator” branding on the forearm.
I’m sure that the new ones are not full splice, just look at the wrapless version.

Looks like a Yanez case.

Several asked to see pictures of the case. I've included them (still covered in dust with my finger prints on it). How would I know that a "new" Taiwan cue would come in this case? The rest of the cue looked pretty old to me. And the case made me think even more so...

The case is "well constructed". The divider in the middle is solid as can be. It doesn't budge when pressing hard on it. The outside is real leather. The brass is oxidized (rusty?). The felt is quality. The stitching is quality.

If you say the stick is "newer" Taiwan, I wonder how it made it's way into this case?

Is this an inconsistent call? Os it point of contact for other situations?
