Sorry, I missed your previous reply. I passed up a chance to get a 5K8 with two shafts (314 and Z, both 2nd gen.) for $690. I am wishing now I did not. I had rather have a Blak series, but will settle for a 5K8 for the right price. I am sure your cue is worth the money, but, If am going to spend $800, I will just buy the new Blak 1 for $780. How much (botom dollar) will you take for the butt? Also is $800 non-negotiable? We may can work something out. I have been playing with a Sneakypete Bluworth I purchased from Grady Mathews in 2004 at the Gulf Coast Classic. I am also considering a nice Bludworth, but I really like the way my friends Predator plays. Whatever come along first that suits me I will buy. I am member of PayPal. Thanks
