Judd Fuller 1994

[pk552502]

Hi All, I'm sharing some pictures of a nicer cue in the collection. I bought this one from an ebay auction and think I got a pretty good deal. The seller said he purchased it from the wife of a collector upon his passing. The collector used to play and service multiple pool halls around Chicago. I don't know much about this cue. I'm hoping some members can help with some of the details of the cue such as:

- What type of wood is it?
- Is this a full splice cue?
- Is this a more common or rare Judd model?
- What size is the joint pin?
- Should I replace the bumper? It looks a little dry rotted.

Any other details or comments are always welcome and thanks in advance. The cue rolls dead straight and is a great player.

This started life as a house cue or one piece cue.....it is likely Purpleheart and Judd just did a wrap and made a quick "custom" cue from it. I had a couple pretty similar and this quick conversion made the points really short coming out of the wrap. The Pin is a 5/16-14 which is not his preferred pin as far as playability. Most of his better playing cues were 3/8-10 Thread. I play with a pretty fancy Judd as my daily player which Judd made for me. He was a great guy and a good friend!!!
