Made this cue for John up in Coos Bay from his specifications. The butt diameter is 1.300" and runs straight for 7.5" and then tapers down to the joint area where it blends into the standard taper for a smooth joint transition.
The butt is cut from a single piece of PH which incorporates the forearm and the full length core. The handle is made from Circassian (Turkish) walnut that
is usually found in high end shotgun stocks. Shaft is PH pro taper with G-10 ferrule and Samsara JB tip. Cues weighs 22 ounces and is 59" long. Maybe John will be kind enough to give us a review. In the mean time I took it to the local pool hall and had a few of the "pros" break some racks with it as I was curious as to how his design would work. It works so well that I named it a Denali Magnum Breaker. This is a real rack smasher. Notice on the top view the difference on the butt shape from a standard cue.
