Super nice deal.
I hit some with it this afternoon. It plays really good...very firm. I played with a SW for several years. While not as stiff as the SW, this cue has a similar feel to it. It plays a lot like an old Kersenbrock player that I had. Excellent "feel" in the cue, and very easy to move the cueball around with. Josey cues are really solid...no BS.
Any of you full-time Josey cue players, feel free to chime in...where is Lisa?

my Josey has been my daily player for the past year, agree with Joe. "Excellent feel"-to me, the feel is consistent and refined (smooth). Yes it is med-stiff, not as stiff as a SW, but definitely stiffer than a Dayton, and is definitely firm. low-mid deflection that is consistent and easy to grasp. as long as my stroke stays in line, no problems moving the cueball to wherever i want to. plus it is made by the excellent Josey family and you can be assured of getting quality cues from Joe.
this is a great deal at this price.

Joseys are stiff players. Keith uses a more conical shaft taper. His cues have a lot of 'feel'...they seem to resonate just the right amount. They are very consistent from cue to cue. Move the ball very well...for me, almost effortlessly. I have owned two now, and would not hesitate to have Keith make me another. They suit my style of play perfectly. My current Josey 'disappears' when I am playing with it. I look forward to every chance I can get to go out and play, because it means I get to play with my Josey. Mine may play a little bit stiffer, simply because I also have one of his Timeless Timber lake submerged shafts, and play with it a lot...but I can move back and for between the two as needed.
His fit and finish are terrific, whether one of his petes or one of his higher end cues...his attention to detail is top-notch. He also has an eye for some great pieces of wood. His shaft wood is very nice. They also seem to hold their value pretty well, even in this market, and someone is always looking for one.
Keith's petes typically do not have weight bolts...he prefers to let the woods naturally weigh out the cue. He uses a Radial pin wood to wood joint, and his cues are just about as close to feeling like a one piece cue that I have experienced....extremely solid feeling. Very nice feel in the hand.
Add to that the fact that I believe bocote paired with maple in a full splice cue makes for one of the finest playing woods.
I happen to really like Keith's cues. I have yet to be disappointed with either that I have had. I got a case of the 'stupids' the first time and sold that one, it was a mistake I will not make again. He truly makes a cue with the player in mind.
Keith and Sherri are also some of the nicest people in the business...their customers are very important to them. Here's a really nice video showing Keith making his cues and a brief interview:

*His petes make a great alternative to taking a higher end cue to a less desirable location to play.

This cue
I have no idea how Keith's cues play. My buddy had a steel joint Josey and he is hard to beat. He is Keith's cousin and used to go on the road with that Johny Armchair guy.
This cue is point and click forgiving and has a smooth and clean hit through the ball.
I really liked it. I would rate it's play and feel 9 out of 10.
I used to say if you want a TS sneakie and can't find one buy a Bob Frey Cue. Now I would like to add buy a Josey.
