Jerry Rauenzahn took an old titlist cue and low and behold it turned out to be Brazilian Rosewood. He managed to use an ivory substitute for the barbells and gun sights, Hoppe ring, and recessed joint. If anyone remembers the AZ member that sells this material please PM me his name and info, I've misplaced his name. OOPS!!! It's very hard to tell it's not real ivory. He's one of the AZbilliards members selling this material which hits and plays great. The leather wrap is called Spanish bull made and sold by Martin Bick here on AZ.
Cue weighs in at 19.0 oz and has his favorite stainless steel 5-16/14 pin. Cue has unbelievable balance and feel. Also notice the thick nickel/silver rings you can't find anymore. I love the old school looks and consider this one of my hidden gems from Mr. Rauenzahn's builds.
Enjoy,
John Marshall

It's thicker on the shaft than on the butt.. That doesn't make sense..... Maybe you can share a pic straight above the joint and shaft at no angle lined up.. That would clear things up..
