Here is the cue I submitted to the AZ Cue Build-off.
Melissa Little, the only pro player to critique the cues,
awarded it the title of "BEST OVERALL".
The core is one piece purple heart, the pin G-10. Collars, butt sleeve & trim rings are phenolic. Forearm and butt sleeve are dyed BE maple and the handle is dyed tiger maple. The shaft is maple w/a Katalox insert, Ivorine 4 ferrule and triangle tip. Weight was 19.2 oz's. A cue built similar in construction to this can be purchased for around $300, depending on the wood choice.
