as the original owner of this cue i can say it's a gem as far as a "hitter"....i think whom ever buys this will not be disappointed.....many have said they have never seen an "R" series with the type of ring work on the shafts that included the colored (green) rings...you would have normally only seen this in the "S" series......that in itself makes this cue very special imo......good luck with the sale......
