I just yesterday got a Spitz sneaky made from a John Davis blank. The pic does not do the curly maple ANY justice, it's gorgeous! I used it for about 15 racks or so, and it plays well but I can't bring myself to stray to this cue. It is valued at $500 plus I have the original shaft coming hopefully tomorrow. The 'extra' shaft with 'matching' ringwork cost an additional $150. One shaft is 12.75mm (the one I currently have) and the original will be 13mm, both with pressed Triangle tips. I'm in need of a bigger case but need it to fit in my locker at the pool room so it must be oval shaped, and not too thick. Porper makes the right sized case for comparison! I've also been looking for a pointed DZ cue, I don't care if it's been used and shows wear as long as it's not abused! I'd also sell this cue with both shafts for $625 shipped and if you've ever played with a John Davis blank cue you know they are worth the $$! It's straight and in order BUT the ringwork on the 'extra' shaft I currently have is just a little different, NOT a 'perfect match'. I'll try getting pics tomorrow as it's at the pool room now. It's the cue at the bottom of the pic in Jon's thread. http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=236748
