Cues from Russia , FS

Jim, the cue plays "Lights Out". the tip was a little tall for me and the taper needed to be more like I play and then "WA-Bamm" this little beauty was drawing the ball twice the length of the table. Thanks buddy and I look forward to doing business again.

Love the Cowboy hat , looks like a Shady Brady . NIIIICCCCEEEEE !!!!!!

Also glad the cue works for you , Shafts are better to fat so they can come down , it takes a long time to grow them thicker . Jim
 
McDermott's latest cue of the month has Morado in it. I had never heard of Morado so I looked it up and everything I read online said that it is Bolivian Rosewood. You are saying this cue has Brazilian Morado- so I'm not sure there is such a thing. I know Brazilian Rosewood is rare and highly prized, so I am curious to know if that cue has Brazilian Rosewood, or Bolivian Rosewood (Morado). Any way you can find that out for sure?

Thanks.

Hi,

I will allow myself to comment with your permission.
That's right. Morado has the second name Bolivian rosewood, and the third name Rosewood Santos. However, Morado is not a true kind of rosewood of genus Dalbergiya. It belongs to the genus Machaerium.
Morado grows mainly in Bolivia and Brazil. The term "Brazilian" in our case refers only to the place of origin.
But really Morado externally similar to the true rosewood, even has a similar smell (a bit sweet, exotic floral), but less dense than the true Latin American rosewood, such as Cocobolo or true Brazilian rosewood etc. And certainly Morado is cheaper then true Brazilian rosewood. See here for example.

Brazilian Rosewood has the Latin name "Dalbergia nigra". And it is a true rosewood. It is denser and harder then Moradoo, looks a bit like Cocobolo and is more expensive. See here for example.
