I don't know who uses that kind of pin, I count 16 threads, The shaft looks real good also. How dose it play?
Now I count 14 TPI, maybe an old Omega or Kersenbrock, my guess, I am not sure though.
Now I count 15 TPI. My eyes are getting bad. lol

Hm....I play Bludworth und and for me Bludworth has an hard hit and you can give a lot english. For this cue I would say, that it's harder and directly to play, but doesn't take a lot english...my opinion...but the cue and the tip looked like never been played...older but never been played...so I can't say if it's the tip....with TPI you mean the number of turns on the pin?

It looks suspiciously like a Mohawk I shot with about 15 or so years ago.
Great hitting cues.

I think that looks a lot like a mohawk cue. I had a mohawk up for ID a few months ago. It had the same pin type(3/8 x 10 i think) The same ring work style as well. I contacted DPK in Chicago about its ID and he said it defineately wasnt one of his. Mohawk was a southwest knockoff from the late 80s early 90s if memory serves me which it probably doesnt.
I have to agree that it looks like a mohawk. Is the butt straight. Mohawk was infamous for the butts warping. I had 3 that i sent to Jedi and only 1 of the butts was close to being straight. I have been told that Mohawk was the forerunner of what is now Falcon Cues. Don't know how accurate that is. But it was just a rumor that i had heard a few years ago. I know that on the east coast they were imported by a gentleman from New Jersey.........mike
My first idea I had was, that the joint looks like a joint from an older Falcon, that I bought time ago....the wood's darker colour and structure there was the same as on this cue. Maybe it is a Mohawk...what is such a cue worth today?
just a quick qn..y'd u buy the cue when u didn't know much abt it?was it at a cheap price?
Yes....the price wasn't very high, there was only "cue" in the discription and a very bad picture...
Ed Sheehan was the originator/importer/salesman/owner/everything of Mohawk, Falcon, Orchid and maybe a few other cues. The falcon cues were always made in Canada and were very much like Joss East cues with the stainless steel joints and CNC design work. The Mohawk cues were Ying Yangs, asian assembled cues, but maybe for the first time in history, ying yangs made from desirable hardwoods. Ebony, BEM, Cocobola, etc. just to name a few. It was no secret that they were trying to duplicate SW/DPK construction and design techniques. As mentioned in this thread, they were very nice playing cues and they were EXTEMELY affordable. I think that the most expensive cue had a list price of 420.00. I am not familiar first hand about the butt warping, though this is not the first I've heard of it. Personally, I have owned almost a dozen mohawks in my day and never had a complaint about any of them. Ed Sheehan, referred to as 'a gentleman from nj' is pretty accurate. He actually was a decent player in his time, and a room owner. just a little fyi.....
