Prather 2005 ebony 8-pointer 60" with extension.

Some more photos...

So the new LD shaft is ready

I've finished the LD shaft for this Prather cue and it should make a good pair with the butt. It weighs 4,1 oz and it is 12,7 mm at the tip. It has short (10 mm) Tomahawk ferrule with phenolic T-shaped pad. I've installed a good layered tip (medium hard). I'm playing with the same tip on my current player and I like it. So as I've built the shaft while the cue was already in Florida unfortunately I did not have possibility to test it in pair with the butt it was built for. In spite of this fact I can tell that it will definitely have lower deflection in comparison with the original two shafts. It is much stiffer and more powerful so I guess it should play really interesting with this ebony nose Prather butt.
This shaft will be in the USA in two days together with my friend's coming back. So altogether you can get this cue with two original shafts and the third new LD shaft, the extension and the stroke-trainer. I did all I could for the next owner to enjoy playing with this cue.
Let the pictures tell the rest.

One more picture of the whole set up.

This cue will stay in the USA till April. In April my friend is coming back to Ukraine for several months and he'll bring the cue along if it is not sold till that time. At the end I may change my mind to sold it because of my sentimental reasons or I may have better luck with finding good hands for it here in Europe during some big tournaments. We'll see.
P.S. If this player will be back to my hands in April I'll be very glad to test it in pair with that new shaft I've built for it.

The price for this set is now 1100 $

It is not so much time left till my friend comes to Kiev somewhere closer to the end of April. If the new home will not be found for this set then I have a customer for that new shaft I've built and offer in this set. So till the time my friend comes back in April there is the last chance to get all you need for playing and having fun...
for only...1000 $ + shipping expences and you get this cue with 3 shafts + extension (everything that was listed previously).
So if you're looking for possibility to get a good player first of all don't miss this opportunity.

Surely I have. It's not a big deal if nobody likes my offer I'll just keep this cue I had so many great moments playing with

So I guess I was naive thinking any gifts from my side in this set will be given any value. When I decided to build the new LD shaft for this cue it was because I have some sentiments towards this cue but I was naive someone appreciate it. It may be the time comes and someone will sorry about not using possibility and getting the set together with this new shaft from me. But it will be only if and when people get to know my works. Lesson learned...not a big deal. I know the value of this shaft, that exceptional old hard maple in it. I'm playing with fairly similar but ferrule less and 31" shaft made out of this old hard and very stiff maple from the same board. Believe me it plays amazing and I have left not so much this maple to build some more shafts. I will be very lucky if I'm able to get some more of this quality shaft wood.
Here is my current playing cue I've built with a similar shaft and some videos of me enjoying playing with it).

I have a few cues in work to complete and I'll better offer one of them in pair with this shaft.
So sentiments aside ...from now this cue is on sale with two original shafts only and the extension.

Go back to page 2 of this thread and read my previous posts there. So the short answer 850$ is for the set without that new shaft I've built.
