This is a nice little cue that is sitting in a case gathering dust. Cue has had light play and is dead straight togethe and apart. Cue weighs 18.7 oz. Shaft appears to be a flat laminate, tip is some kind of layered brand that is exceptionally soft, almost like a good elkmaster. I don't know if this is a conversion or if Chuck built the blank, but it's got some wild figure in the bacote, tons of little eyes and swirls. I'm looking for $225 shipped.

I have one of Chucks wood pins, it hits SUPER ... thread on mine is 1/2 by 8 I think. Hits quiet, best I can describe it. No metal feedback, no pin feedback, things that you never realized were there .. are gone. Weird. They play good though, thats for sure.

Oops, I forgot to put that in the description. Shaft is 13mm. Can't really feel the pin, the cue itself is very sensitive, not whippy, but you can really feel what the ball is doing. I totally agree with RascalDoc's impression of the cue. I play with either a flat faced full ivory joint or a Lambros ultra joint, and I would say this cue provides the same level if not more feedback.
