Recently got one of these thru a trade. It's a pj birdseye with SW-style rings and a radial pin. Quality for a $108.00 cue is phenomenal. Cue is straight, wrap was installed perfectly and overall impression is very good. As far as playability if you like stiff hitting you will love this. 13mm shaft has old-school taper much like a Gilbert. I had mine re-tapered by K. Taylor in Ok.City and now i like it even better. My total investment is $130bux. Cues come with a 1x1case and jp's. Avail. at Dr.Cheng site on Ebay.
