The fact that he's in Dover, NJ, and you're in Lewisville,TX, would seem to make it unlikely, but... do you have any way to identify your cue as yours?
Hmmmm...well he said it was a 2000...mine was a 98..I've owned around 7 to 8 Gilberts in the last 6 years..My latest one was a purple heart jump break and used to be Dave Matlocks old cue..It also had a pad under the tip like this one..These are two of the first gilbert jump breaks that I've seen with pads under the tips
In the meantime, if ya need a jb, I have a spare....it's only 18 ounces, but it's a good player....granted, since you have 500 cues, I'm guessing you are OK, but the offer is there if ya need it :grin-square:
