Jerry Rauenzahn 360 Coming

[deanoc]

I have no pictures or diagrams or anything

Lots of time I get excited about a cue on here ,
it turns out to be a Jerry R

So I ordered one

He is getting started and I am excited

I never hear anything but good about this guy

and when people on here say so many nice things,
my ears go up,I hear he is one of the true greats

They tell me that when it comes to making this
Historic masterpiece that I want,there is nobody
better

I hate it (when a cue maker gets a reputation for high quality work,and playability at the same time) because it means I pay top dollar,but experience has shown me that when the prices start rising that they keep going up.

So I got in while I could,I love traditional cues,including the 360 Brunswick

Why don't you guys show me your Jerry R cues .I will have him post pics when mine is ready.Also if anyone has pictures of an original 360 please post those too

I am asking for notched mother of pearl diamonds on mine,what do you think
an improvement or not?

Also do you like ivory or pearl better?Either way I want pearl but for fun ,a few opinions might add interest to our AZ experience,Don't worry about my feelings what do you think?

I am eager to get this one

Hi Dean, Glad to hear you're ordering one from Jerry. His work is as good as it gets. He will make it exactly as you want...Period. Best of all you will get on his Christmas card list. You wanted to see some - here is mine. I only have this one right now but, I'm deciding on a design for another.
Whenever I decide to thin the herd, this one always survives the cut.

You will love your -R-

Ironwood into Curly Koa. SS half joint.

Here's a couple.....

I would be excited to get a 360 too Dean :thumbup: I think Jerry is a wonderful fellow and an exceptional cuebuilder.

I'm not sure but, I do like Ivory; however, there is absolutely nothing wrong with Pearl either -- I like them both

Look forward to seeing some pics :duck:


P.S. ~ nice 1/2 joint Bob :thumbup:

Jerry is the man

I remember when I ordered my full splice cue. Jerry was great to deal with and probably one of the best to date to execute what I wanted. I recommend the half joint. My cue has similar specs to my Szamboti. I really have not played with the cue as my Boti has been my main player for some time, but I love how the Brazilian Rosewood/Brazilian Rosewood came out. The veneers are clean and the yellow is great. The brown micarta is aging well and getting darker as well.

thanks to you last two guys for posting the pictures that should keep the purist of gallery
purpose pure

i for one enjoy seeing loyal customers telling about their cues and the cuemaker

Jerry has a fantastic reputation among people in the know,
and sad to say I was not in the know

Barry told me some nice things about Jerry and i have intended to buy
one ever sense

Jerry is an ex road player ,so he knows enough about the game to know what
a cue oughta do

at any rate pictures of my cue will be posted
in the mean time lets see some of your stuff

I have known Jerry for 40 years. The best thing is Jerry will send you progress photo's throughout the build! How freakin cool is that! Probably the best price as well as the shortest turn around time of all the top Cuemakers!

Just jumped on the band wagon...

I, too, just ordered my next player from Jerry...very excited! I'm getting a Brunswick 26 1/2 tribute, full splice Brazilian Rosewood into Straight Grain Maple, with Abalone wedge butt, Abalone in the points, Ivory Hoppe ring, bumperless, SS 5/16x14 joint. Elephant ear wrap. I'll post picks as soon as I get them. :wink: This thing is going to be bullet-proof!
