I posted this in “Ask the Cuemaker”, https://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=513818. According to the cuemaker who responded, these points are called “spiral staircase points”, but I would like more information if ya’ll can help me.
I have been given a cue deliberately constructed with eight points, with veneers, in two patterns, all with substantially different lengths:
Pattern A: Overall lengths 22, 21, 19, and 20.5 cm
Pattern B: Overall lengths 13.5, 11.5, 12, and 13.5 cm
I've had many cues in my hands over a long time -- I know them. This is a good cue, produced by capable hands -- it is not junk or botched work.
If anyone can add anything, I would appreciate it. Specifically, I'd like to know what other names might apply, whether ya’ll are aware of other examples, and, if there are others, what cuemakers are known to have made them.
Thank you in advance.
