I had the same cue I purchased used sometime in the early 2000's for 200.00.
I kept it a couple years and traded it even for a 3 week old predator first generation blak 4. I kept that predator a couple months and gave it to a now ex girlfriend . Sometimes I think about getting that predator back and putting a revo shaft on it.
Correction....possibly late 2000's ...even 2010 when I traded for the predator.. Not sure what year exactly but the predator was only 3 weeks old as he gave me the receipt with it from where he had purchased it from billiard pro here in Memphis for 1,400.00 and some change.
