Say hello to "Froggy"

[narl]

No doubting its nice to look at a shaft that has the nice even arrows, straight grain etc, but once upon a time nobody bothered about this at all, and we should all remember it makes no difference to the playability of a cue its purely cosmetic.
Must have made the cuemakers job a nightmare now finding perfect shafts not only for density, playability etc but also nice arrows that we come to expect today.
Its actually nice to see a shaft like froggy as afterall wood is wood and natural every piece unique thats the beauty of it.

Yup, years back people were happy to own a decent cue rather than worry if the grain pattern would raise their standing in their club, or wondering if the splice points were sub atom perfect. If the cues a player surely thats all that matters.

I have a Riley Prize with slightly interesting really old and dark looking grain if you like that sort of thing

is it your playing cue and if your happy with it it dont matter
