The cue market seemed a little soft during the summer, so this cue didn't find a new home. But now, it's back on the block after a short hiatus. This is one of my favorite hitting Mottey cues. It was born in September of 2002. This cue is a great players cue!! Paul Mottey is almost always named when people talk about the top living cue makers. This cue is no exception! I need to support my other hobby, so the money will go to a good cause ;)

Here are the specs: 4 Ebony points into a maple forearm. Ivory Hoppe Ring. 3 color rings at the joint, and matching rings on each shaft. 5/16 x 14 Joint, which looks like ivory, although it is not. Black Irish Linen Wrap. 2 shafts, both with ivory ferrules and sweet Mottey pilots (which are the best hitting shafts in my opionin). The shafts do not have any dings or dents in them. Both are topped with Le Pro tips.

The cue weighs 19.4 or 19.3 depending on which shaft used. [Butt weighs 15.7 oz; Shaft 1 weighs 3.6 oz (13.17 mm); Shaft 2 weighs 3.7 oz (13.15 mm)] The shafts could use a cleaning, as they have some bluing from play.

The butt is nearly flawless (there is one tiny blemish on the very bottom of the butt cap). I took some pictures showing it. The blemish is .14" X .06". For reference, a penny is .06" high.

PM offers or inquiries. Buyer information will be kept confidential on request. My opening price is $1150, which includes shipping and insurance to the lower 48 states. I am always open to reasonable counter-offers. I had a few $800 offers last time, but passed on those. As you know, the starting price on a mottey cue is $1500...

Pics are compressed, but I can provide the originals via email. Also, I can provide more picutres on request.

Please PM with info / questions.
