I just received this Cognoscenti Ebony PJ from Joe Gold on New Year's eve. I am definitely a fan of th hit on this cue. Simply a solid player that is like a surgeon's scalpel when going in to operate. :) Hope you enjoy the pic's, you can really see some of the amazing Ebony put into this cue and Joe's flawless finish work.

didnt know cog standard was 57.5.....masonh standard is 57.5 too!

by the way, simple n elegant ebony cog!!!!!!
 
Great cue

Joe makes a great cue and is a class act all the way. If you havent tried a Cognoscenti you should. Joe put a lot of time in researching the makeup of a cue before he started making them. He was also a hell of a player so he knows what "hits good".

I honestly can't feel the difference in length. That was a concern at first but once I thought about it a half inch is not that that much difference, just matter of a little adjustment.
I asked Joe Gold why he only makes a standard 57.5 inch cue and nothing longer or shorter. His answer was even a half inch longer would changed the hit. Besides length he was whiling to change the thickness of the butt, I had him take it down at the joint collar from .850' to .840 which takes .01 ' off of the hole cue. The thickness came out perfect. He also made the cue lighter for me.
 
Nice cue.

I think the new black pins look really sharp.

I wonder how much better they play now with the shorter, Hunter style "Point and shoot" ferrules?

Congrats on your new Cog!
 
Great cue. I recently played with a cog and loved the hit........... however with me being 6'4 i need a 59 or 60 inch cue.
 
Ditto...

Very simple but awesome cue! I'm a sucker for Merry Widows. But I as well need a 59 1/2 - 60 inch cue.
 
What thread type is that G-10 pin?

And B&W fleck linen is icky IMO, but that's an easy fix. Maybe stingray...hehe.

I'd love to try it out all the same!
 
From what I understand it is a 7/16 - 11 G-10 pin, Joe Gold also offers the same pin in Titanium. I am a leather wrap person myself and never liked speckled linen but I do admit that the black with white speckles in person goes really well with the silver stitching. I am going to play with the wrap for a little while and see if I can get use to it, if I don't end up wanting to keep the linen wrap I will get a stacked leather wrap from tiger put on.
 
Joey's cues are not only great players but constructed to precision specs. can't go wrong with one no way..............
