Here is my personal player for the past few years. Its got all the race tricks...weight under the points to move the balance forward. Fullsplice cues by nature tend to be buttheavy...not this one...a perfect 19oz. A handpicked dark 314 tricked with the now non available Grice ferrule...sweeter hitting ferrule than the old yellow micarta. Sniper tip. Partial abs forearm core....3/8-10 brass pin. Faux ivory joint collars give it some bling yet no one notices until they hold the cue...somewhat sneaky without trying to be. And a nice old school Hoppe style buttcap with the dark brown phenolic was added last year. Satin finish. I've used this cue as my everyday player for almost 4yrs now & it's well traveled and seen quite a lot. Even won me $7000 one night...my best score ever. Everyone who has hit with it absolutely loved it. I've turned down so many offers I can't even remember them. I have a rule about not selling my playing cue. You can buy my j/b...but I refuse to sell my player. I find it easier to stay in stroke playing with the same cue always. Well I've got some new wood in my Whitten so I'm finally listing this one in the for sale section. Farewell my friend.:smile:
