The previous owner had the handle replaced by Seattle Cuemaker Dave Jones because the original Southwest handle warped when it went from the dry climate of the desert to the wet climate of the Pacific Northwest.
If I put this cue in your hands and let you hit balls with it, and did not mention the handle replacement, you will see that this cue plays and feels like any other Southwest. -- This cue is structurally sound and has that classic Southwest hit.
pm me if you have any further questions.

Honorably represented. It is good to have full disclosure for a change. actioncentral sounds like a seller to trust. Lori tells me I'm near the top of the list and can expect a cue in 2014...so even for ebony, I'm out right now. This cue is a beauty though.
