Barry Hawkins Cue

[bobmikeking]

I just saw Barry posted this picture on twitter



I don't think I have ever seen a cue where the badge is placed over the line between 2 splices like that before?
Anyone seen that before or have any information on the cue? Maybe it is common and I have just not noticed?

All i can think of is he holds the cue with the grain a certain way and the badge lines up with that ?
Certainly not common

[bobmikeking]

Does the badge look off center to you as well?
It does to me but I'm not sure if it's the angle/shadow/lighting or something

[jrc750]

Yeah it's definetly offset

Obviously placed in a position he wanted it, odd positioning to say the least.

Surprised nobody has suggested it shows how poor the splices have been done that the badge is in the right position but the splices are miles out! Oh no wait, this is a pros cue so therefore it doesn't matter so much cos everyone has seen how good Hawkins plays with it.

It's a Classic cue, so hence those splices have been added on, it's clearly been done like that on purpose

If I am not mistaken, all factory made JP classics until now are plain ebony right?

Yes the Classic is always plain ebony and always will be i imagine.
This cue has had splices added probably to extend it or just for the looks alone who knows
