bulletComments:
bulletThis cue is my "Shaft/Ferrule/Tip Platform". Kenny and I use this cue to test different 3/8"x11 shaft/ferrule/tip combinations. Kenny initially made this for me so I could try out longer shafts and different tapers without increasing the overall length of the cue (maintaining around a 58" "standard length"). Over the last couple of years or so I have been evolving my style toward longer cues, but that is another story :-)
bulletAs a side note, this is Kenny's very first production cue...at least I THINK I paid him for it :-), and I'm very proud to own it....This is definitely one of my favorites, sort of like a comfortable pair of jeans...not real "flashy", just comfortable!
bulletBTW...check out the cool Joint Protectors (a Kenny Murrell "trademark"). Everything lines up and that's just the kind of craftsman he is...the devil may be in the details, but that's what separates the guys who pump out hundreds of cues to maximize their profit vs. craftsman who love the sport and take pride in what they make (IMHO).
