This cue is used but it is in like new condition. It comes with the full lifetime warranty. It was my personal playing cue until April of 2008. Photos are of the unfinished cue. It had not been polished. Serial number 00016 has 4 purpleheart spliced points into a nicely figured birdseye maple forearm. The purpleheart butt sleeve is inlaid with 4 malachite four leaf clovers. The clovers are offset by alternating black and white decorative circles above and below. The butt sleeve is separated by white and green trim rings. The butt cap is imitation ivory as is the joint collar which is also separated by green and white trim rings. It comes with 1 RAVEN tapered hard rock maple shaft that has matching rings and joint collar. The pressed linen wrap is green with white specks. This cue can be weighted up to about 20 ounces with a weight screw. It has had a few changes since it was built. The current bumper is a little different. The wrap has been replaced with the same pressed Irish linen. I also made a slight modification to the joint collar, but it looks the same.  Click Here to See This Cue!

Serial Number 00089 is complete. It is a Titlist Conversion Cue. That means the two piece cue was made from an original World War II era Brunswick-Balke-Collender Willie Hoppe Titlist house cue. The body is rosewood. The forearm is straight grained maple with four full spliced rosewood points. Each point has four veneers. The forearm is stamped with the original Willie Hoppe stamp and the original 18 ounce weight stamps. The points have the traditional early Titlist veneers: maple, mahogany, pale green and purple. The butt cap is double black linen phenolic. The butt cap is preceded by a buckhorn Hoppe ring that is underpinned with phenolic. The cue has a thick black phenolic ring on the butt side of the joint. The joint is buckhorn faced and underpinned with black linen phenolic.  Click Here to See This Cue!
