Thanks balance is big with me I've never shot one I'd like too
Mali
I have a Mali cue that I purchased brand new in 1991. The first cue I ever bought. I paid about $150 for it then. After all these years, it's still perfectly straight, shaft included. Mine has the big pin, 3/8 x 10 wood to wood joint. To this day, that cue still feels the most natural to me when I pick it up. In today's market, it's probably worth next to nothing. But, to me, it's priceless... :grin:

Yep that's the cue I'm trying too get :thumbup:
I had one with the 3/8-10. Simple maple forearm with ebony points & sleeve. Best cue I ever hit with aside from my own, and is a major reason I began building cues. Nothing else compared, production or custom, so I started making my own. I even patterned my shaft taper after it. It's not the only reason I build cues, but was a major influence.
Check Mali V series pool cues, excellent for professionals. These cues are made with high quality material for top performance players.
The T-15 from the mid 80's is a wood-to-wood big pin into threaded shaft, as far as I know. Half of the Trophy series had an SS piloted joint. This wasn't one of them.
So, this would NOT be comparable to a Schon or Joss.
I think the closest comparison would be with a McDermott, but if I really wanted to confuse you, it would feel somewhere between McDermott and Meucci.
Anyway, the T-15 is a nice cue and I would be proud to own it.

Maybe its not the T-15 its the cue in the pic above that's the cue I want ? Know the model? The guy on here had it listed at T-15
I've played a few hours with a Mali V5 (Vintage Series #5) Cue.
Ozone and BW sells them for $216.
Played similar to newer steel jointed Joss cues. I like the looks of it, but hated the way it played. For reference, I play with a 3/8x10 Tiger Ultra X shaft.
this is one of the new mali's made in china.. not the same thing as the original mali cues.. the new ones are made in the same factory as players and the new dufferins

I'm talking about the other pic above

I have a T-15 also. Played with it for a year or so. It has the very old school butt taper. It's 1.30 in at the bottom of the buttcap. Played pretty solid in my opinion. Hit is always subjective.
