bulletSpecifications:
bulletYear Built: approx 1999
bulletForearm: Long Forearm/Handle made of Beech and Birch which are dyed to produce the "Cocobolo" color  that is seen in the pictures. These woods are then laminated using phenolic resin as both the bonding and impregnating agent. -- The shape of the Forearm is also quite unique to Bob Renis with the middle of the Forearm "necked-down" such that it looks quite "flimsy", but I assure you that it IS NOT! -- Very Unusual!
bulletButt Sleeve: see above
bulletRing Work:
bulletA Single Thick Tan Linen Ring (actually part of the Joint) at location B
bulletA Single Thick Brass Ring at locations A and B
bulletA Single Thick White Delrin (I think) Ring at location D
bulletHandle: see above - The Handle on this cue is "smooth" as opposed to "carved" as in some other Bob Renis cues -- see the detailed picture of the Handle
bulletButt Cap: White Delrin (I think)
bulletButt Length (w/o bumper): 28.5"
bulletButt Weight: 14.4 oz.
bulletJoint Type: 5/16"x18 Brass Pin; Flat Faced Joint w/White Linen Joint Collar
bulletShaft 1: Laminated Beech and Birch that are dyed  an Orange/Yellow (not the same colors as the butt which makes a very interesting contrast between the 2 sections)
bulletLength (w/tip): 29.25"
bulletWeight: 5.2 oz.
bulletTaper: Standard Renis Very Long Pro-Taper (in spite of the very long Pro-Taper on this shaft, it is quite stiff)
bulletFerrule: 12.7 mm, 0.8125" long - 2 different Linen Fiber pieces (Longer Black Linen Ferrule with a Short White Linen piece next to the Shoulder of the Shaft-- i.e. bottom of the Tenon)
bulletTip: Moori Medium (layered) - dime radius
bulletOverall Weight: (w/shaft 1: 19.6 oz.)
bulletOverall Length (w/o bumper): (w/shaft 1: 57.75")
bulletBalance Point From the Tip: (w/shaft 1: 38.1875")
bulletBalance Point From End of Butt Cap: (w/shaft 1: 19.5625")
bulletComments:
bulletThis is a pretty unusual cue and I sure get some interesting "stares" when I use it at the local pool hall. Kind of hard to describe how different this cue really looks, but make no mistake, it has an incredibly "crisp hit" (IMHO) and is a truly superb pool cue. It's funny to play a stranger with this cue, you get a really "funny look" from them at first, of course that changes pretty quickly when you start to kick their butt with it :-)
bulletThe Balance of this cue is remarkable and is achieved mostly by the shape of the Forearm section (the "necking-down" of this very heavy wood makes this cue balance like it was cored, or had a Maple Forearm).
bulletThe Shaft on this cue is really incredible...it has the longest Pro-Taper I have ever seen and yet it is not "whippy" at all (IMHO).
bulletAvailability:
bulletOne of My Personal Cues -- SOLD
