That is one of the newer Mali cues. The old Green lettered Mali's from the 80's were actually built pretty well. Then they sent thier stuff overseas for a while and the quality tanked. These latest ones are built pretty well and they have gone with good old fashioned Busha and Hoppe designs. Based on the cues you play with, you probably wont think it is very solid. I would say that they dont hit as well as a Joss or Schon but if you put a Tiger or OB on it, you wont be able to tell the differnce anyway.
