Below, with two shafts, is the finished cue
以下照片中桿已完成﹐配有兩根前節。
Cue length: 59.5 inches
桿長﹕59。5英寸。
Weight: 19.1 ounces with the lighter "Old Growth" shaft. The second
shaft is very high annual growth ring count and worth $500.
桿重﹕配以其中一根較輕的老楓木前節為19。1盎司。另一根前節具有極高年輪﹐價值500美金。
Joint pin: 3/8-10 with wood-to-wood joint and Aegis joint collar
前後節結合螺絲﹕3/8-10﹐平面木材對應﹐中輪為類似象牙物質。
Forearm: Full-spliced. The purple-heart wood has been known for a superb hit for many, many, years
前臂﹕兩塊木材完整結合。多年來﹐紫心木以其出色打擊手感被大家熟知。
Shafts: Two genuine "Old Growth" shafts from lake Michigan. Hard-rock maple cut between 1820 and 1840 which were salvaged from under the water and re-dried. These shafts are two very, very-low deflection QP Prodigy shafts. Many people are ordering these shafts. I am selling about 10 per week in addition to what I place on my cues.
前節﹕兩根老楓木前節。木材為在1820至1840年間砍伐的硬楓木﹐在運輸途中沉入密西根湖。 經打撈出水﹐晒干後制成前節。它們屬於非常低母球偏向級別。許多人向我訂購這種前節。 每週我單獨賣出10根左右﹐不包括配在球桿上的。
Ring work: Ivory-colored french diamonds into each rare black camagong and/or into black phenolic ring. Each black ring has 8 ivory colored french diamonds. This style of ring work has become a standard for many of my cues. I am the only cuemaker that does this.
裝飾環工藝﹕每一道黑色天鵝絨蘋果木或石碳酸環中鑲嵌有八枚象牙色法式菱形。 這種裝飾環風格成為了我的許多球桿上的一道規格。我是唯一製作這種裝飾環的制桿家。
Wrap: Black stack-leather wrap.
握把﹕黑色層層環繞型真皮握把。
Butt sleeve: Ebony with 20 french diamonds inlays, 4 being much larger. The buyer did not pay for the four larger ivory substitute diamonds in the black sleeve. I placed them in free because I knew the cue would look incomplete without them.
后臂﹕鑲嵌有20枚法式菱形的檀木﹐其中4枚很大。買家並沒有要求這4枚大號的象牙色菱形鑲嵌﹐是我送給他的。因為我覺得沒有它們球桿看上去好像缺少了什麼東西
.
Butt cap: Aegis
大輪﹕類似象牙物質。
Tony Robles got a chance to shoot with this cue and really liked it.
Tony Robles(美國著名球手)曾試用過本桿並非常喜愛它。
All cues leaving my shop do have rubber bumpers.
我的每一根球桿在寄出前末梢當然都會配上橡皮墊。
