Thanks. The joint is piloted ivory and the cue plays super. Some say Paul is legendary for his ivory joint.
Matter of opinion I suppose, but there's no debating that his ivory joint cues are superb players. Great hit,
sound, feedback, feel, etc. I've got no complaints, that's for sure. I don't really have any comparisons, but I had
a Kun Fang Lee Bill McDaniel cue around 03 to 05 with a piloted ivory joint. That cue hit 2 tons and may
have been a little too stout, wish I still had that monster though. The Mottey is not quite as stout, but is rock
solid.
Hope this answered your questions and thank you and everyone else for the kind words, Jerry
