Joey Bautista (JoeyinCali) Merry Widow
SOLD no trades, paypal payment (add fees or FF)
I received this cue in a trade last August. It was my daily player until my current custom
Joey cue was completed in February. It plays lights out. Both butt and shaft roll straight.
The only flaws are a scratch in the clear coat finish on the butt (can only be seen in direct
light in picture 4) and a couple black marks on the butt cap. The shaft was just sent to Joey,
cleaned and refinished with a medium Searing Precision Tip.
Details:
Cored paper micarta forearm and butt sleeve dyed purple and burnt orange
Bolivan Purpleheart handle
29" inch butt and 29" shaft, 3/8 x 11 pin
Classic Joey "dirty" shaft wood with mineral marks and all
Dimensions:
Total weight - 19.65oz
Shaft weight - 3.85oz
Butt weight - 15.80oz (no weight bolt)
Shaft diameter - 12.6mm below ferrule
Joint diameter - 0.856in
Butt diameter - 1.228in
Balance point - 18 1/2 in from butt end

Joey's quote:
Micarta forearm cored with tight grain maple, bolivian purleheart handle.
1 tight and heavy sugary shaft with mason micarta ferrule and jeff milk dud tip.
Played with the forearm for a while in testing it. Hits really solid. Hits very hard with capped micarta ferrule so I used a non-capped mason micarta ferrule on the new shaft.
Wurther's faux ivory/melamine joint collars and butt. The ones on the butt yellowed some from age.
First time I test hit, I couldn't believe the hit.
I had a " Wait, it hits hard but lively."
