Up for sale is a 2007 Ernie Martinez custom cue. Only one of the shafts have been chalked and test hit. The photos below were taken after the cue was played. Can you tell which shaft has been chalked?
The forearm is a piece of highly figured Bird's-Eye Maple and features 4 razor-sharp Ebony points (the points and butt sleeve appear to be stained Rosewood, but I'm not 100% certain, so I am calling the wood Ebony). Each point has three veneers (green, orange and yellow). The butt sleeve is Ebony (it could be stained Rosewood, but I'm not 100% sure). The cue has fancy rings at A, B, C, D & E. It sports a flat-faced phenolic sleeved joint with a 3/8-12 brass screw. The cue comes with two shafts, each of which has an Ivory ferrule and a Moori tip. Both shafts roll dead straight on and off the butt. The wrap is slightly textured black leather. The cue is a standard 58.0" long. It weighs 19.1 oz. with one shaft and 19.0 oz. with the other; the butt alone weighs 15.2 oz. Both shafts are 12.72 mm. The cue plays GREAT. This is a Level 3 cue. According to Blue Book of Pool Cues Third Edition (2005), the "secondary market minimum value" of a Level 3 Martinez cue is $1,500.00 in 98% condition. This cue is in at least 99.5% condition, the only deduction being a half a point because one of the shafts has been chalked. My price is just $940.00 delivered by USPS Express Mail to any point in the Continental U.S. So, what are you waiting for? Buy yourself a new toy.
