Cue was purchased at SBE 2010 and it plays fantastic. Extremely rare plain conversion. Cue was refinished years ago, it has a little finish over the joint/collar seam and I showed it to Tascarella and he said possibly his, but it would be from a long time ago. Wrap put on by Dan Dishaw. Butt is 100% straight, fantastic player. Possibly the joint screrw was changed or polished, butt cap seems to be original as well as the weight bolt. This is a straight up playing cue. |
