I've bought 12 new cues since February. I'm in love with my Rambow style cue by Paul Dayton and can't seem to play very long with anything else. It's a shame, because most of the cues that I've bought are awesome, thanks to the honest sellers here.
I have a very sweet Jerry Rauenzahn cue. It's a Balabushka Tribute Cue, in fact an exact copy of the fancy Bushka cue shown in the Billiard Encyclopedia. I forgot the page number but I can find it later if you like. The cue was made to the exact same specifications/measurements as a Bushka cue from that era, right down to the joint thickness and butt thickness etc. I test hit the cue only and it's a monster ! It's 58", about 13.30MM on both ivory ferruled shafts, and 19.7 and 19.9 oz. The butt weighs 15.5 oz and the fabulous pro tapered shafts weigh 4.2 and 4.4 oz. One shaft was played some before I got it but there is virtually no chalk bluing. One new looking tip and one with a lot of meat left. No dings, dents, or scratches whatsoever on this cue. 5/16 X 14 SS piloted joint. Beautiful inlays and veneers with a textured leather wrap.
I have a Universal Smart shaft for this cue, again, test hit only. 12.75 mm and no dents or dings. $1000 for the cue shipped via Priority Mail, or $1150 with the Smart Shaft.
Nobody would be disappointed in this cue, no matter how fussy they are. I have more detailed pictures courtesy of Bamacues, who I bought the cue from. Thanks Joe, it's a dandy. I also have other cues that I'm considering selling, but you asked for a Jerry cue, and I had this one...Tom
