***** F/S - Unusual Searing Up For Grabs *****

###SOLD###

Here it is!!! Your opportunity to acquire a very rare and unusual Searing cue, and we all know any Searing cue is tough to find. I met Dennis quite a few years ago and am proud to consider him a good friend. Having spent 100s of hours in his shop, watching him work, I have a tremendous respect for his innovation and expertise. The only reason this cue is for sale is that he is very close to finishing my custom cue and I need some cash for it.

This cue was built in 2001. It is unusual in that it has no veneers, is a "2 high, 2 low" design, and has a brass quick-release pin. Dennis told me this might be the only "2 high, 2 low" cue he has built, or at the most maybe one other. It has a piloted stainless steel joint and a linen phenolic butt cap. Perhaps the only thing about this cue that is not rare is the hit. It definitely has that magical Searing hit and feel. PLEASE NOTE: Although pictured with 1 shaft, there are two original matching Searing shafts with this cue.

Please, please, please don't bother to make a low ball offer. Searing cues are rare, expensive, and this one is special. If you are a serious buyer please contact me by PM or email at rhoppmann@gmail.com, or call me at (561) 707-3854.

The specs are:
Butt: 15.22 oz
Shaft # 1. - 4.17 ounces and 13.01 cm a ivory ferrule
Shaft # 2 - 4.25 ounces and 13.00 cm at ivory ferrule
Total: 19.39 oz or 19.47 oz depending on shaft

Balance point is 19.5" from butt

Corrected information!!!!

I made a couple of errors in the original listing. First, the cue was made in 2001. Second, and more importantly, the joint is pilotted stainless steel with a quick-release pin. The joint and shaft collars are linen-phenolic.

Sorry about any confusion. The cue is in Phoenix and I am presently travelling so the description was done from memory.

I highly doubt he would change it to a 1/2 joint. It will change the geometry of the cue.

Full joint SS would not be an issue.

You may be right about the 1/2 joint but it would be something to discuss with Dennis. His "1/2 joint" is actually a full size SS joint with a sleeve of material covering the lower portion of it. Granted it is not quite that simple but that is the concept. He would need to remove the joint, machine down the lower part of it, create the sleeve (maybe with some ringwork to match the butt sleeve), and then reassemble. It might cost too much, and it might not even be possible, but if anyone on the Planet can do it, and do it flawlessly, it is Dennis.

Another approach, totally feasible, would be to change the uniloc pin to a traditional 5/16x14. The shafts can easily be re-tapped to fit the new pin.
