Please help with ID of yet another cue

[itsjustjay]

This cue has great craftsmanship to it and has that old Hoppe style look to it. But its just in to good of condition to be very old. The finish is perfect. I dont think it is CNC since the points dont all stop at the exact same hight but very close. Thats just a guess, I have never owned a CNC cue but figure they are all perfectly lined up since its by computer. The cue is birdseye maple and the pin is steel 5/8" x 14. The cue is in excellent condition and included two matching shafts. Bought at an auction hall in Notheast PA for 120.00. I feel this was a great buy, this cue makes me feel like I am not worthy to shoot with it. As always, any help in ID'ing it would be great

The cue is a Mali, it was made in China. Now either someone removed the name from the white ring at the bottom or you need to turn it around and read Mali.

Cool, thanks for the info Craig. I knew it wasnt old at least. It doesnt have the Mali name on it but it does look like the one in the book. Hmm, stick plays quite good. Last Mali I had was just horrid. Thanks again J
