Help identifying cue?

[poolguppy]

I'm assuming it's just a production cue but it hits wonderfully and caught the eye of a cue builder that seemed to think it was quality work. Points look sharp, I'm guessing the inlays are some kind of resin, they don't look super clean but pretty decent. Linen wrap feels better than my other production cues. Only marking is the weight, "19" on the bumper. No matter what it is, I know the 29 bucks I found it for was a bargain haha. Any ideas?

Reminds me of a production cue made in Taiwan.

Ya most likely, if I can figure out what it is it would be nice to keep an eye out for more if they are cheap enough. Has a great feel to it, like it much more than my other production cues like vikings and lucasi's

Can we see the joint, please?

Inlays and rings look like corian.

Make sure it’s not a 90’s Runde before you dump it.

Absolutely, and I won't be parting with it, if anything I'm hoping to be able to get more like it! My customs have been staying on the rack a lot since I picked it up

The joint rings and the pin lead to me to believe this cue is an Omega cue made for Omega Billiards in Dallas. Made in China/Taiwan but of good quality. Helluva deal for the $ spent. Pic of one: https://www.omegabilliards.com/OMEGA_20_p/2962.htm Pretty sure the OP's cue is one from this line. Another AZ'r may have more info. Cool find.

Good cues. A friend of a friend had one and i thought it played great. You might send pics to Mike Huang at Omega for further info.

Even on a Sunday afternoon, Mike responded quickly! He said:

We designed this cue, and it was made for us by a Taiwanese-owned Chinese cue company. There were only 50 these made, with several components being bought by us here in the US and sent to the factory (Canadian Maple shaft, Tiger Everette tips, Irish Linen Wrap, 3/8x10 pin, etc...). There was 1 world champion who bought and played with this exact cue, until he signed a huge endorsement contract with another company.

Pretty cool info, thanks to Mike for the fast response and Garczar for identifying it!
