Honestly, it looks like a cue that I sold on eBay a really long time ago (like 3 years). I got it from a "friend" that lied and misled me with information on it for $150, and I ended up hating it and regretting my purchase. It looks like a Boriz...which is a crap production cue brand from the Phillippines.
Chuck as in "the garbage"....
Sorry.. should be a little more delicate.
Bottom line is these come in from over seas and usually warp rather quickly. They have little to no value outside the original sale.

Looks like one of the Boriz cues, which is made in the Philippines.

I bought one three years ago for $40.00 NEW and planned to give it
to my grandson as a "first cue". I had it in my case at the Pool Hall
and a guy asked me if I had any cues for sale (I usually do), so the
guy sees the cue and said he Had to have it. Mind you, this a-hole
has pissed backwards on so many deals it's pathetic. Soooo, I said:
"I gotta get $350.00 for it" and he peels off the money, to my amazement.
Funny, since that time, he Never asks me about cues for sale. Wonder why ?

As soon as I looked at the pics it screamed "Decal" cue, I have seen similar cues like this come through the Flamingo and the bangers all think they are expensive cues with real inlays. But, hey if you don't have a lot in it and you like it, why not add it to your collection, most of us have inexpensive cues, I have a KC I found at an Animal shelter thrift store that plays great, I take it out when the weather is really hot and humid here, so I don't have to expose my good cues to the humidity.
Geez, things like this make me glad I bought my last 3 cues from a cue maker that actually made them for me. You guys are pretty darn smart being able to see from a picture it's an overseas cue. Props to you.:thumbup:
I don't think those are decals, just build quickly with cheap labor.
You are correct those are not decals. I bought one of these cues about five years ago for $70 shipped through Ebay. The cue was shipped from PI and had horrible protection in the packaging. The box was even torn on the end and I just slipped the cue out without having to open the box:dance:
My cue has stayed straight but had the worst ring work ever....Having said that @ 60 inches long it plays good, not great but worth the $$. I figure I will give it away to someone who would not mind toting around such a gaudy cue. Myself, I prefer Sneaky Petes and Hoppe style cues.
