I am a new poster but a long time lurker here, and though I would ask the experts and other assorted genius' around here who they feel may be the creator of this cue? I traded for this about five or six years ago, and was told it was probably a Perry Weston. However, the flared butt on this cue does not appear to have the same shape as his. I only found one other maker with a flared butt as a standard, but this does not appear to belong to him either. Any thoughts? Thanks, Gadroon.
