Yes, that's the original falcon shaft. I love the curly hard shaft and this one plays awesome. You'll be surprised some of the quality shaft wood that you'll find from some falcon cues. The wrap was purchased from Brianna I think from Valley forge.
I ran a measly 38 in straight pool in my first session with this cue. Falcon are under rated and I think their older cue plays great. These guys used quality seasoned wood in their production.
