I lucked into it. A guy came in the Flamingo with it for sale, and the owner took some shots with it and really liked the hit, and started talking price with him. So he hands it to me and says take a few shots, well I fall in Love with it, and wind up buying it from a guy named Creole Freddie, he is a Cue maker and knows all the old timers, tell's me he got the cue years ago from "Portland Don" Watson. Then he shows me a cue he made called the Starburst cue and then he pulls out Buddy Hall's Lucasi.
So I took it home cleaned up the shafts & ferrules, shaped up the tips and cleaned the butt with some Martin Guitar polish and felt really good about buying it. I have not bought a new cue in a long time, well I did pick up a Titanium cue at Wal-mart for 30 bucks a few years back, just to keep in the car for playing at lunchtime or after work.
Now it is my favorite, It is 17.6oz and I love using it for One Pocket.
