Early Black Boar cues are easily identifiable by a small boar head logo on a white Delrin butt cap, which was used from 1988 until 1994. The logo was changed to a "BB Custom" logo on a black linen cap (often mistaken for ebony) in 1994, signifying some design changes to the cues. Cues made before this time usually had four points, but in 1994 six points became standard, with eight-point cues also being available. They also developed a new ivory joint, which is sleeved over stainless steel; it is the standard joint still currently used.
