Bought this cue about 8 years ago. Since then it has been my main player, although that is only about 40 days a year. I must say it hits a bit softer than both of my Scruggs cues and I prefer the hit. Maybe it's the ivory joint. It is a full splice Titlist blank.
Recently had the opportunity to have the cue x-rayed at a veterinarian. They could only do a 17" image so I had them do the top half and bottom half as seperate images (there is a cigarette lighter in each to keep one of the shafts from moving)
The veneers on this cue are absolutely amazing!!!!
I was told when I purchased the cue the wrap is Cortland, but I'm not sure. It feels a bit softer than the other wrapped cues I've owned, and could use a cleaning and pressing.
Looks like there was a very minor repair to the wood in one of the points, will try to get that picture uploaded soon.
Recently had the opp
Will have weights for butt and shafts soon.
