I ordered this cue from Kerry back in 2006. It has to be one of the last cues he made. Joey Bautista finished the cue and made two amazing shafts with Zeiler inserts and ferrules. He delivered it to me at the 4th Annual West Coast Cue Show (the original WCCS) and I gave it to Kenny Koo who did the beautiful smooth black calf wrap.

The forearm and butt sleeve are made of the most gorgeous piece of curly purpleheart I have ever seen. The handle is purple heart as well. Stag collars, joint, and buttcap with triple silver ringwork.

I hit a few balls (middle ball, no chalk) when I received it last Tuesday, and it is one incredible player.

I feel very fortunate to have this cue and it was worked on by three of the best in the business. Kerry, rest in peace.

I owe a debt of gratitude to Joey for making this possible. This is one special cue.

Enjoy.

I love everything about this cue.


Will you play with it?



Thanks for sharing,

Thanks, Chris.

I am going to take it out for a full spin this Sunday, will let you know. My gut is that it is too special to get banged up. I may just put it away in a case.

congratulations on this cue.

nice looking woods on this cue.

This cue looks like something I will use as my daily shooter. :)
 
Sweet looking cue, I had one similar, the one with the Ropey Bubinga and it was one of the only 2 or 3 cues I wish I had back.

Thanks for sharing.

JoeyInCali is really carrying on the work of Kerry. Joey has some excellent wood and he knows how to make a great cue!

Agreed. Joey did a fantastic job finishing this cue as well.I have a Joey cue and it is an awesome hitter!
 
Thanks for all of the kind words.

Joey says that Kerry is smiling, and I agree.

So am I......

Can't wait for my cue too. ;)
 
Thanks for the kind words, Steve. You have the most incredible collection.

This cue deserves one more look before it falls off the page.

Thanks again, everyone.

They both hit incredible, Mike.

I think I have to bring them both down there and play them side by side. The Kerry cue is not cored, Joey's is. Both have stag joints. and similar ferrule material and hard tips. Maybe we can have a cue o rama soon and try them out-
