This cue is cut from a solid piece of Goncalvo Alves.  The GA runs from the nose of the cue thru the butt cap making for and extremely strong and responsive cue, thereby combining feedback with playability.  The pin is black G-10 with an Abalone dot inserted in the end of it.  The joint is flat faced 3/8-10 with phenolic collars.  The handle is treated with textured Dragon Skin
(actually feels like skin).   The butt sleeve is made from Ziricote.  The cue weighs 19.3 ounces and the weight is NON-adjustable (I do not use weight bolts).  The shaft is cut from AAA maple and features a pressed Triangle tip coupled with a Ivorine-4 ferrule (12.7mm).  The joint end is phenolic with a Katalox threaded insert.
