It is definetly Pre- Bobby Hunter. It is a strong hitting cue.

What exactly do you mean by Pre-Bobby Hunter? I know they once shared shop space for a brief time, I'm confused by what Bobby would have to do with Joe's cues? Thanks in advance for clarifying...
 
boy if you put this puppy up for raffle i'd be inclined to buy a spot for it... just can't afford the whole thing :frown:

I talked to Joe Gold and was told that Bobby Hunter had nothing to do with any cue he made. I was mistaken. He was very up front in our conversation and I enjoyed talking with him.

Cogs are the nuts!!! i agree..theres something about joe's work that allows him to find just the perfect balance for his cues. like magic. love the hit and the wrap. Does some of the best inen wraps in the business. Judging by the pin looks like this is pre-bobby hunter era. Must be a great stick.

good luck with the sale.

Not sure what do you mean by pre-Bobby Hunter. Bobby Hunter only shared the shop with Joe Gold, nothing else. He did not build cues for Joe and vice-versa as well.

I'm sorry I got it wrong in the first place! Just goes to show you I'm not perfect.

This is just a reference that the cue was made before Joe got out of cuemaking and did some extensive travel. I think "1st generation cog" may be a better term.

Once Joe got back from traveling and re-opened the shop, he made some changes to his cues. These were very subtle, like using a black G-10 pin instead of the clearish white ones like the pin on this cue. Another thing he adapted was a shorter ferrule design that Bobby Hunter came up with. Bobby called these his "Point and shoot" ferrules, as they are supposed to lessen deflection by being much lighter than before. A few cuemakers have been using these for a while and claiming the same thing. Mike Capone and John Showman are two examples.

I know a lot of players who like flat faced jointed cues absolutely love Cogs. I remember one saying that a Cognoscenti cue was the only cue he found that plays better than a South West.

As far as quality, Cogs are top notch, too.

Best of luck with the sale.

Very good explanation Dakota
I own 2-Cog's, and the workmanship, playability, and overall feel of the cue is astonishing.
They are also very expensive cues, and once you own one or see one in person, you really notice the quality.
