If there ever was a player J/B, this is it. I used it as my player for about 6 years. Shot with some high dollar cues in that time, and most didnt hit half as sweet as this one. I imagine the plain jane plays pretty sporty as well.
The birdseye cue is more or less a parabolic cue. Player. The break jump plays lights out with the 12.8 shaft. I use non matching Scruggs shaft for breaking. Both shafts ferrels are not ivory material.
Both cues are spoken for if they are ever sold. If you can ever talk Bruce out of his first dibs have him call.
