Stunning cue, but outside of my price range.

Is that Deanoc?

Super old post, yes I know. I was hoping that whoever bought this cue would like to sell it.

Please show me what you have. Looking for a relatively simple cue. There was one or two with a brass joint that sold here a number of years ago that I’d like to track down.

I don’t think his cues were ever $500. Sadly the market has changed a bit over the years and some cues have not maintained their value, while others have gotten ridiculously, IMHO, expensive.

I think that is an older Filipino made cue. Maybe Chinese.

As far as I know, Falcon only used camel bone which has a different density than cow, which has a different density, hence the reason it looks different from conceptual bone. Falcon did not use ivory due to any potential legal complications when shipping cues over borders.

I was going through some stuff and found this old box of Le Pro’s. IIRC, the ones smooth on the bottom are supposed to be the “good ones”, is that correct?

I know this is an older thread, but I always felt like Falcon hit was right in between an old Joss and an old Schon. I've had a few old Falcons and I thought they played great. Falcon made some cues for Brunswick and they play great too. I kept and old Falcon shaft and had it matched to my...

Roughly 82-87 are sharp points, there have been some CNC pointed cues in that time frame. stitch rings were standard until 87, nickel rings were an upcharge 87-93 CNC points were standard as were nickel rings, stitch rings were a custom order Runde era pins have a different pitch on the pin...

Not to derail the thread too much, but I’m curious as to why I see a sea of carbon fiber shafts t leagues and tournaments. Is it the easy way out instead of learning to work with deflection? Is good shaft wood hard to find and expensive? is it so they don’t have to worry about warping...

Wouldn’t the presence of an A joint indicate that it is not a true full splice? Are you sure it has an A joint?

Would they really go through the trouble to align the grain lines around all three rings?

If I recall this is the Imperial and it was made in Canada. Note the 1/2 threaded pin like a Pechauer. EDIT: I found the old post and Mase stated it was the Titan model, not the imperial.

Looks like a Jacoby or Pechauer.
