Hi Guys,
I picked this RT Custom cue up from an fellow AZbilliard member here and pay $100 cash plus $180 worth of Moori/Molavia tips. I thought this would be a player's cue but it turned out to be warped and unplayable to me. This cue would served well as a breaker and should be converted to a breaker if you shorten the shaft down and add a phenolic ferrule.
The cue shaft is unusable, warped at about 4 inch from top, the butt is also warped and when it rolled on a pool table it wobble noticably. RT Custom cues from Florida made this cue and I believe it used to sell for about $550. RT was a popular cue was I was in Florida for a while but I never got a chance to play with their cues. I decided to pick this one out to check out how it would play and to examine their unique splice construction. The construction of the forearm are spliced with 4 pieces of purple heart and bocote or some exotic wood. Please note, you can probably tell from the pics that all the rings are raised in the butt sleeve. There is also a signature "R.T. 97" in the forearm.
The cue has a radial pin and it measure .8234 at the joint, the butt weigh in at about 15.8 oz and the shaft is 3.8oz. The tip size on the shaft is 12.50mm. We got this cue with the purpose of examing the construction of RT cue and was thinking of replacing the handle but my guys in the shop decided that it's not worth the effort.
Anyway, I looking to get about $190 shipped for this cue... first person to paypal me at dlam0718@gmail.com owns it!! Check previous AZ post, it was f/s for $250. But please note, this cue is warped and IMO not playable..it could be a breaker if the shaft is replace or shorten with a phenolic ferrule. Even though the cue is unplayable, it has a really good hit!! Please ask questions, as this cue is sold as is!!!!
Here are some images of the cue.
