The ringwork on the Prewitt cues is a thing of beauty. My question is, how does it play? I have seen quite a few, but never had the chance to hit some around with one.

Matt,

To answer your question on hit, I have only test hit a couple balls with one shaft. The taper is more modern, graduates sooner, than the standard pro taper that i grew up with.
 
That is a sharp looking cue. I would not call that black and white Ebony, but rather call it exhibition grade striped ebony.
 
wood reference

Hello Cueman,

thanks for your comment and input. It seems logical to call it streaked. I was so captivated by the wood I though about thiis one for a long time. I got it from a dealer and that is what he said it was called. It seems funny because there is no white in it.
Does anyone know for sure the correct term?
 
Another top notch cue Phil!

That's one nice looking cue Phil. Elegant and simple, can't go wrong with that.
Enjoy it my friend,
Dan Z
 
wondering

I was explaining my interest in SW cues to a friend and my wife because of the interesting woods and hit. We started looking on the internet and Macassar Ebony was quite similar with the streaks???? just wondering.

Dan, I can send this to you for inspection and a test drive? Possibly a review,
all the best,

The correct term is "black and white ebony." It was labelled as such when I bought the square and the term is consistent with other wood dealers. It was the nicest piece of that type of wood that I've seen for sale so far. It is difficult to get consistent figure around the square or round. Prewitt loved it when I brought it to him and suggested the scheme for the cue. I was delighted with the outcome--and still am.

To my limited knowledge the highest quality woods are call Instrument Grade. To my knowledge this because only finest wood with exceptional figure is used to build Musical Instruments. Thus the highest quality Curly Maple is known as Fiddle Back because it is chosen for use in high quality Violins!!

But what ever term you choose to use the cue is absolutely beautiful, I really love the figure of that Ebony and the finish certainly looks outstanding.

Thanks for sharing
 
There are cues that make you happy that the artist making them decided to let the beauty of the wood shine through in the forearm without any points. This is certainly one of them. Beautiful cue.
