My Frey Sneaky Break/Jump arrived today.
First, the workmanship is excellent. Very pleased in that regard.
It di dtake a few weeks longer than the quoted four to arrive, but another AZ'er PM'd me to tell me to expect that early on.
The forearm is, how should I say, a little younger looking would than would have been nice. Not much character to the maple. But not a problem. But, I ordered Cocoboal and this is much lighter than I expected. I am not saying it is not Cocobola, but looks more like the Bacote pictures on Jon's site. Is there an easy well to tell the difference? I shall post a pic a bit later.
The shaft felt a little unsealed for lack of a better term. I burnished it and it feels better. Have not shot with it yet, but I like the taper. A bit different than I am used to, but nice.
THe wrap is excellent. The jump joint grain lines up almost perfectly. I like the balance point.
You can read the description a few posts bove. Not sure what kind of tip on this, but Jon mentioned hard buffalo for a jump/break, so I assume it is, but no idea what brand.
I'll go shoot a pic or two and be right back.
