Coker cue
I know what you mean!! I have cues, but never owned anything a nice as the Coker cue. I'd trade all my cues and my Boxer for that one, plus some cash

Aren't Brazilian Rosewood and/or Ebony Considered The Best Hitting Woods For Cues?
Mike,
Maple usually plays some part in making a great hitting cue, but I think master cuemakers would say that Brazilian Rosewood, followed by Ebony and Cocobolo, would make for the best hitting cues that history has produced. Bacote and Goncalo Alves are highly respected, as well, for being rather light, yet dense just like the hardwoods mentioned, which lie at the top of the list for playability and overall hit, which reflects the resonance of the wood when it contacts the cueball, and the feedback that it gives the player. Of course, due to expense and unavailability, Brazilian rosewood is often not mentioned in new custom cues, but rather in talk referring to vintage cues.
Of course, the hardwoods mentioned are are most often used in the butt of the cue, along with the combination of hard rock or birdseye maple in the forearm.
Your Coker looks very nice, and I'm sure will make someone a happy owner of a very well-made cue, by a very well respected cuemaker.
I've seen Coker PJ's on this website, featuring Ebony and Cocobolo, and I would imagine that those cues would even be heavier than yours, if not cored out?
I've seen threads addressing the best hitting woods for a cue, and the results are usually Brazilian rosewood and Ebony, followed by Cocobolo, Bacote, and Goncalo Alves, the latter of which round out the rest of the list. Perhaps some cuemakers will chime in here?
Many cuemakers make entire cues, usually Merry Widows or PJ's, out of maple, and to good effect. But I certainly wouldn't call maple the "holy grail" of woods used to make cues, as that moniker is likely held by Brazilian Rosewood..
Good luck with your sale!
