Only hit with it for a few minutes Thursday. My pool table is down right now.

Seemed like a softer hit than the EYs.

Hey Dennis,
maybe it's those original Tips..
Are they original? If then if they are, would you change them??
I wouldn't...
It will be like selling the Original Tires off the all Original '57 Chevy.
 
Thanks

That makes me feel a little better for missing that deal!!!
Congrats again!
 
Congrats on what is probably the steal of the year. I REALLY like the cue, enjoy playing with it. :smile:
 
I don't know

I think the steal of the year was the pickup of the misrepresented barry Szamboti ok eBay for 1600.
 
I never heard of "Swartzia Wood" before. Is it some type of Mahogany? It resembles Mahogany to me.

Looked it up and it seems to be something like a Pau Ferro, A south american Rosewood. Does that sound right??
 
I would not know but, it does have a rosewood color to it, but different grain to it. Nice looking wood though.
