I just bought a brand new cue that is nicely figured.

Real veneered points into stained really nicely figured birdeseye maple.

Six points, 4 high, 4 low.

Real maple dashed rings.

Real linen wrap.

Dead straight.

Surprisingly decent maple shaft.

No brand name.

Sort of a SW style.

$75 brand new.

Made in China. Pretty much as good as most cues costing hundreds.

Why did I buy it? Well, it was dirt cheap, and radial joint. In my collection of over 200 cues I didn't have a single radial joint cue. I might try a CF shaft on it, I don't have one of those either. So, just playing around.

Honestly, it's a good looking cue anyway.

You seem to have a lot of adventures, and misadventures, with cues. 4 hi and 4 low are 8 points

OK.

If this happens I will cut it up and make Christmas ornaments out of it. My wife is a crafter, my daughter is an artist, and I do leather work. My house could compete with Hobby Lobby for supplies. Daughter's work: LINK Videos: LINK 2

We have glitter, glue, paint, yarn, ribbon, leather....you name it, and I have tools.

I will give the first 10 people to kick in $20 to @vintagecollectibles831 a Christmas ornament shipped by December 9th. What is December 9th? A very important day for cue lovers. (first one already goes to Black-Balled)

That's 10 Christmas ornaments made from whatever this thing is made of. And $200 for him.

What could go wrong? How could he lose? He even gets to keep the shaft. That's a $200 shaft.

Am I crazy? Yup.

Oh. And I will make another one for @Sev because he's my Cowboy Cupcake.

Now, let's see what happens....

Doing both normal speed and frame at a time, it doesn't look to me like the ball touched the cushion. Neither player had a problem with the call. Evidently, the call was obvious in person.

If you want to see what a cue ball on the cushion looks like, go to 6:36:19. The cue ball during the questioned call looks like it never got with an inch of the rail.

The call was correct, and the ref could see it well enough.
