Couple things I love about this cue: first, depending on which side you look at, it’s either primarily orange or primarily green. That’s because the forearm appears green from one side and has tints of orange on the other side.  Second, the joint protector on the carbon fiber shaft is a long somebody. I did that because the black lines (from the fungus) put me in the mind of a woman with her scarf in the breeze. I couldn’t cut her in half. Not how I roll. Naturally, once cut to final diameter, the woman looks more like an insect with fat legs. But her scarf looks fantastic!

Note also that the ferrule will be cut down to 1/4″ and the shaft will be tipped with your choice of Ultraskin Fire, Ivory or Black in soft, medium or hard.

A word about shafts:

I build shafts out of ten species and carbon fiber. My advice is this: if you have a shaft you love to use, buy this butt to match that shaft. If you’ve heard of a famous shaft that you’d like to try, buy that shaft to match this butt.

However, if you’re into the art of it and want to have fun, try something new, and make your Character Cue fully badass, consider one of my ten species or carbon fiber with a like-wood decorative ring.
