I don't know. Is there a way to tell? I will say the leather on the Ebony cue is very soft, almost 'grippy', if you know what I mean. The wrap on my brown -R- (it's Bloodwood) is much firmer and when I play a lot or sweat I have to dry it with a towel or else it messes with my grip. I do not have to do that with the ebony cue, but I do not know the type of leather it is.
@12squared: Wow, that is a nice case, but a little too much case for me. I'd like something that isn't worth more than my cue!Seriously, thatnks for the interest.
thats real lizard on the cue it was mine the cue hits great in fact if you dont sell it let me klnow id like to buy it back
