This cue is made with a full length red oak core which makes for a "lively" hit. The black Walnut forearm is inlaid with 4 V-groove points of bamboo with black phenolic veneers. The pin is brass with an Abalone dot inserted in the end of it. The joint is flat faced 3/8-10 with phenolic collars. The handle is cut from premium bamboo and segmented.
The trim rings are Brazilian Rosewood outlined with black black phenolic rings. The same treatment used in the forearm is applied to the PH butt sleeve which is dressed off with a holly "Hoppe ring". The cue weighs 19.3 ounces and the weight is NON-adjustable (I do not use weight bolts). The shaft is cut from AAA maple and features a pressed Triangle tip coupled with a Micarta-M ferrule (12.8mm). The joint end is phenolic with a Katalox threaded insert.
Here is what the buyer of this cue had to say about it:
Hi Bob,
I wanted to give you some more feedback on this walnut/bamboo cue. After getting it back from you I have had a chance to play with it more extensively and am very impressed. There’s something about the way this hits that is just right. I own a couple more expensive customs from well known builders that I have bought low deflection shafts for because they just didn’t play well. I don’t know if it’s the core, the shaft or what but I’m amazed at how this thing plays. Plus it’s unique design is really cool. No 3rd party shaft needed for this one Nice cue and nice value.
Thanks and can’t wait for my breaker!
