Well here is the story I was told, this cue was made by Jerry Rauezahn. It was refinished about a year or so ago by someone else, Boinkin is the name I was given. There is no -R- on this cue because the guy I got it from says the buttcap was cracked in a fit of rage and was replaced by the same guy who did the refinish. I am not sure if this is a real Titlist or a very good tribute. If anyone out there has any info or could tell me if this is or is not a Jerry R, I would be very greatful. This guy owed me $500 so I got this cue, I will sell it for $550. If it is a Jerry R someone will get a great deal. I also have a ferruless shaft that came with the cue. I have no idea who made it and it has two knots twards the tip. The tip is layered probably a Moori but who knows. Cue weighs 19.5oz. and the shaft is about a quarter of an inch longer than the butt but I think that is because of the long Ivory ferrule. Cue hits great but I have a main player and I am in the process of making myself another so I would rather have the money. Please help.
