Fancy Coker

[TommyT]

This cue has 20 points. 10 points of ebony into a nice piece of bocote in both the butt and forearm. Ivory buttcap,ferrulles and joint. I bought this from the late John Wright. He always treated me fairly.
I don't see many fancy Cokers anymore. Are they not making them, or are they sending them overseas?. This cue has a great hit. Thanks for looking. It also has an ostrich wrap.

Very nice cue!

The Cokers are certainly making high-end cues as dealers and retail customers order them. The demand, however, seems to have shifted somewhat over the years.

With the addition of the CNC a couple of years ago for inlays and floating points, there is increasing demand for inlays. Prior to the CNC, customers would just add more half-spiced points if they wanted a higher end cue (inlays were expensive and time-consuming w/ the pantograph).

Tom's specialty still remains his half-spice points, however.

You will see more leather wraps coming from Coker Cues in the future. Tom is making good use of his new leather wrap jig.
