This is one of the two cues that helped launch Darrin Hill. This is the beautiful cocobollo and maple wrapless cue that he made for Glenn "Piggy Banks" Rodgers. Links to pics are below but you can also see pics of this cue in Glen's hands on www.hillscues.com in the players section. I cannot say how beautifull the grain of the cocobollo sections are on this cue. Ivory ferrules, ivory butt cap, silver rings throughout. Butt weighs 16 oz even, the two shafts weigh 4.0 oz and 3.8 ozs respectively. I believe the slight deviation in the weight of the shafts may be due to the 1/4' shorter ferrule one the one shaft. I am not sure if this was by design for Glen (I would think not) or something that has happened along the cue's lifetime. There is also one small pencil eraser sized area on the forward maple section where the clear coat is dinged. Obviously this cue was made for a player and has seen some use, but I think it is amazing to only have one small ding in the whole cue. The shafts do have some bluing, but again this was a players cue. The lower maple section has the following inscriptions "To: Piggy Banks" and "Hills Cues Darrin Hill '04" hand written under the clear coat. I am asking $800 shipped for this cue. I will consider a partial trade, but I am really only looking for Schuler shafts, Schuler soft case (2X6) or a nice 3X6 hard case, but go ahead and surprise me, maybe something else will catch my eye. If anyone has major concerns over this cue Bamacues shoots in league with me and I would be perfectly happy to ask Joe to evaluate the cues condition and let you know. Thanks for looking.

Chris is one of the good guys!!

I will vouch for Topher (Chris). I would recommend him highly to anyone, and his description of the cue's condition is right up on...it is in very nice condition for a daily player. I have seen this cue, and it is a real nice piece of work...beautiful wood, and a real fine playing cue. Like David said, this cue is probably destined to be a real collector down the road as both one of Darrin's early cues, and as "Piggy Banks" player.

Chris, you might want to PM Koinnkid...Schulers are right up his alley, and I know he does collect some cues...
