The wrap is black textured leather, not certain about the pattern...possibly elephant. It has a pronounced grain, lots of grip and feel.

BUMP. Someone on the Coast should scoop this up. If I was not so set on a 9' GC, it would have been me.

What type of leather wrap and wrap condition? Might be interest!!

Yeah, and the Graphic designed cue in the pic is the M53B, from the same Cues of the Month year.

Bummer the M52A seems not to be a USA factory made McDermott...

Why play heyball instead of 8 ball. I know the pockets are different and the balls a different color, maybe size but what’s the attraction?

At a BCA trade show, I had a very interesting discussion with someone who does a lot of business in China. If you take all the people who play cue sports -- pool, snooker, English 8-ball, pyramid, carom, and heyball -- most of them play heyball.

I hadn't really heard of heyball until about three years ago. I believe it is around 40 years old. The first championship was held in 2015, according to Wikipedia.

Still open to offers.
