If you can't find a real one...any "custom" cue maker working out of his garage can duplicate it for you. Hell, he might not even have to try duplicating it...he can just sell you one of the originals. Try a sneaky pete...they're cheaper.
You want whippy? Well, my Mooch's blackdot shaft has been retapered to a straight 12 mm, 18 inches. Hollowed out the top 3 inches of the shaft, ala Predator, Talisman Hard tip on it. The sucker plays....
I heard from Ed Young, custom cue maker in the Windy City, that Larry Nevill's cue is a 12 mm, 18 inch straight taper. Can he draw the rock, or what??
By the way, Ed is making me a shaft for my Mooch. It'll be 13 mm, his choice of taper. I asked him to concentrate on a shaft that is extremely accurate. It won't be whippy, should be pretty stiff. Having him install a Talisman medium tip on it. Will I be happy? You bet...
So, different strokes for different folks. I'l have the super whippy, super low endmass modified blackdot shaft for most shots, along with other shafts, plus Ed's masterpiece...
The best of both worlds...
