Jerry Franklin era Brazilian Rosewood predate Southwest with 3 shafts and Southwest made Joint Protectors
58" overall
Butt: 15.9oz 6 points of Maple into Brazilian Rosewood forearm with triple laminate red, black and white veneers.
Predate 3/8 11 pin
Shaft 1: 29 1/4” 3.5 oz 13.13mm w/ yellow Micarta ferrule
Shaft 2: 29 1/4” 3.5oz 13.14 mm w/ yellow Micarta ferrule
Shaft 3: 29 1/4” 3.4oz 12.30 mm w/ yellow Micarta ferrule
Cue was refinished by Proficient Billiards in September and has not been played since. Joint protectors are new from Southwest and are made of ebony since the Brazilian Rosewood is no longer available. They seem to match very well. The Rosewood is very dark and resembles ebony. The cue was made in 1990 before the Brazilian Rosewood ban (in 1992). It will come with an LOA that shows when it was made and should allow the cue to be legally sold and traded. This is a very rare wood and there weren't many of these made by Southwest.
Now asking Deal Pending I am willing to accept PayPal goods and services but your address must match what PayPal has on file.
I'd be interested in trades for a Ginacue, Szamboti (Gus or Barry), Josswest, another Southwest or possibly a high end Tascarella. I would consider partial trade and cash, even up or multi cue deals.
I can send videos of the cue upon request if you want to see how it rolls on my table or we can FaceTime.
Please reach out to me with any questions.

Not so sure about that. Their web page shows the black pro as being the softest of the black version, and by the feel of the hit, I would have to agree. I was thinking of trying some ivory ones as others spoke highly on them but I don't need any more tips for awhile. I would like to try a Thoroughbred tip.
