I've dug these two cues and the jump cue butt out of my storage, and thought they might be of interest to someone on here. The cues are actually left over from my last poolroom and I kept them because they were solid, good hitting cues. The first cue is made by Imperial and appears to be an inexpensive Japanese production cue, about 19 oz. It has a nice design to it and best of all it is straight and has a clean hit to it. The second cue was made by a since forgotten cuemaker in the Los Angeles area and has a good solid maple shaft and a nice thick butt. It's a little heavier, maybe 20 oz., but again a nice solid and straight cue. Both cues roll flat on the table! Both are well used but in good overall condition. I can play just fine with either one. Either cue would be a good rack filler in a home room or make a nice beginner's cue for an aspiring player. I will sell either one for $50, plus $20 for shipping.

The jump cue butt is made for a Uniloc joint. I have no shaft to fit it. It's 15" long and in good condition. Someone might be able to use it to make a good jump cue. I will sell it for $25 plus $10 for shipping.

I will attest that some of the Imperial cues play very well for an inexpensive production cue- I dug through a bunch of them once at a billiards and SPA superstore that were national chains in the late 90s and 2000s to find the best of the lot for my son when he was 12- about 20 years ago- still have that cue and it plays great! You can't go wrong on that for the price - they are surprisingly solid hitters!
