I offer you this gorgeous Jerry Franklin predate in mint condition. Rings in all positions and IVORY ferulles. It has a seamless smooth leather wrap and triple veneers; red, natural and black. 59" and weighs 19.75. LOA from SW included. I'll ship this for SOLD in the CONUS. Paypal add 4%.
I better mention that the cue has been meticulously refinished with a perfectly applied seamless leather wrap by JW Petree. He does real nice work.

It's not often that I see a cue here that just makes my mouth water. This is one of those few cues. Wish it were in the cards for me to claim it. Good luck with the sale...Tom
 
What Tom said. Looks like a sweet player! One of the best Southwests I've seen! Good Luck!!!
 
Price reduced to 2240.00. This cue has all the rings. Look at some of the others for sale, some rings are missing. This also has ivory ferulles which is an upgrade along with the LOA. At this price this cue is a good buy.

I just sent the link to a friend in Asia who is looking for a J.F. S.W. in this price range.

If he wants it, I can deliver it to him next month.

That would be me.:wink:

It's a really nice cue- with the lousy baht/dollar exchange rate at the moment (where was this cue last year?:grin:) I'm gonna wait for a while before I pull the trigger on a SW (though my finger is getting itchy...:thumbup:).
 
It definitely is a good looking SW.

You don't show the shafts. What condition are they in? Do they and the cue roll true?

The two shafts are amazing. They are a full 13mm and neither they or the cue have any rolloff at all. The cue rolls straight as an arrow and hits whitey with authority. No jive, this cue is the bomb.
 
Bump for a beauty. Wish I had the funds.

I play with a plain predate sw and love the hit.

This one probably has that and is also a beauty and a leather wrap and points and rings and ivory.

Damn.

I don't want to hijack this thread but why would 59 inches stop you from buying this cue? I have played with cues from 57 to 62 inches. If you are used to a 58 inch cue it won't take long to get used to 1 extra inch. In the late 80's, early 90's a number of us, in the pool room I used to play in, bought 60 inch Southwests. They played great. This looks like an amazing player and deal to me . Sorry for the rant.

Thanks Glen. I wondered why Cincyman felt the need to share his feelings regarding 59" cues.

Well its easy, let me explain I HATE 59 INCH CUES. :thumbup:

Hopefully that clears up any wonders about why i would not buy a 59 inch cue

It really (without being rude) doesnt concern me what YOU like. I own many high end cues and have 1 59 inch cue and as soon as i pick it up i know its longer and it just feels different. If it were 57 and 1/2 i would also buy it right now.

I also dont want to get used to a cue of longer when 98% of the cues made by top makers are 58 inches,, why would i get used to something???

ANYWAY this is a great DEAL on this cue and should be picked up by someone.

Anymore questions about me please pm:thumbup:
