We've seen a few brand new ones over the past few years and the butts are all bowed. They then lie to the customers telling them it's a parabolic taper lol. That's not taper, it's warp. The last one to be in the local hall, when rolled, the joint went from flush to the felt to 1/4" off the felt.
This is why I am currently looking for an 80's SW. I'm looking to trade the middle cue in my avatar (Greg Hearns), and cash for a good condition older SW.
I hit with one back in the 90's and it played great.
To tell if its warped as opposed to a parabolic taper, it has to be spun on a lathe not rolled on a table.
That said, personally I do not care for them. They are high quality, solid well built cues, but the hit isnt for me. IMO, they are overrated because of the mystique they carry. 7+ year waiting list is due to cue flippers, not people who wind up playing with them.

They hit like a Southwest!
That is the truest thing anyone has said so far IMHO. No Cue, Tip, Shaft, etc. is Magic, it is the SKILL of the Player that turns a Cue into a Magic Wand.
Trust me if I was to go play today, with a Southwest, or Black Bore I am 110% sure Scott Frost with a HOUSE CUE could still whip my BUTT at One Pocket!
Yeah the weight is an issue. You gotta try pretty hard to make a cue out of light wood be that darn heavy. Has anyone seen a SW under 19.5 oz? I prefer 19 and would LOVE to get an older SW at that weight -if one exists.
