For Sale - 2 Month old(!) Mike Wooldridge Olive Shark
I've played with this cue twice since it arrived on 17th Feb for a couple of frames each time, the tip that came with the cue must have absorbed moisture or something in transit (Or Mike sent it out with a duff one...) because it was veeeeeery soft like a sponge. I took the tip off and didn't get around to replacing it until this weekend.. it now has a new Aurora laminated tip fitted (nice job I reckon).
While waiting for the cue to arrive, having had it customised a little, I got impatient and bought the Macassar Legend cue Paul was selling a few months ago on TSF (having no cue to play with since selling the Pheonix a while ago..). Since playing with that cue we've had quite some success winning our first league title since 1966 - In fact I haven't lost a game with it.. yet
. This is the reason I haven't really given the Shark a good outting, our league went to a final playoff so I didn't want to change cues while it was still in play.
Anyway, just a bit of info for anyone wondering what's wrong with the cue, and why I'm selling it after so little time - the answer is nothing, but why change a winning formula! The temptation to switch cues after one bad game is one of my weak points, so I plan to remove the temptation.
Specs:
1 piece with F1 joint in base
9 1/4mm tip
57 3/4" long
17oz weight (485g)
Balances around 18"
£325 delivered for TSF members only!
(YES that is same price as a new one, but with the butt joint and smaller tip adj the cue would set you back £395+PP - I have the invoice for that! (and not one of Jasons).. so basically you can go out and buy yourself one of Mike's amazine F1 extensions for free and pocket some change too).
Pics to follow shortly.. my camera refuses to work in low light - some pics on my site here:

Yes will consider swap for something of equiv value, or old cues!
..But is mainly being sold to fund two (more like 1!) new tyres for my car @ 265/35/19 = ouch.. will swap for those!.. but must be N rated.
