Well the back to back centuries by Shaun get an answer from John. Comments indicate surprising decline of a blue ball by Shaun could have been crucial error.
15-13 going to 17. Better get myself in order at the mid session.

This cue is definitely a Prototype Falcon 24 made in 1991. The model 24 cues sold for $1900 in 1991. Not many of this model were made. I would like to thank everyone for their help. This is a very special cue.

I have done the forensics on this cue and have determined this is a ivory cue not bone or synthetic. It passes the black light test, proper grain test and end grain Schreger markings. Under the black light ivory mineral markings show up in 2 places on the butt cap. The joint shows end grain Schreger markings plus proper grain structure. The ferrule also shows the same characteristics. The inlays pass the black light test and are super clean. There is no pitting in them like would appear in bone. I think this is an Ivory cue. I have built cues over 30 years and this is my conclusion.

I'd like to see a Shaun-Wu final. No mind games just good ole snooker

I like many others on here have a wide variety of cues to choose from for playing pool , I've noticed that my main playing cues all have different tips which all do the same thing , which is move the cue ball to hit other balls and roll towards what we hope is our next shot .
Which we all know , I've found that when I go back to playing with a different cue that I've not shot with suddenly does many things very well for whatever reason .

The bottom line as to how I see this , to agree with SSP then to add my take is don't be to quick to judge a tip as it very well could become a diamond in the rough which suddenly does things to you're liking .
