Up for sale is a vintage Willie Hoppe Professional pool cue. I've been told that the wood in the butt and points is Brazilian Rosewood; however, I do not know this for sure. Please view pictures and judge for yourself. This cue is in fair condition overall, with several scuffs and scratches on the wood and leather wrap. The hoppe ring material is original, but it's cracked in several areas (see pics). The butt is 28" long and weighs 17 oz. The diameter at the butt end is 1.44." The dia...meter at the top of the joint collar is .83" but the diameter at the start of the wood just below the joint ring is .85." As such, if you replaced the joint collar you could convert this cue. The butt does have a wobble where the end lifts off the table. I've taken a picture at the highest point. Also, the leather wrap appears to change taper suddenly near the forearm (see pictures). I'm not sure why this is, but I've seen this with several other Hoppes. The shaft has a minor taper roll, but I don't consider it a problem at all. When assembled the cue does not roll straight at all, and the shaft collar doesn't line up perfectly with the joint collar. Please view all pictures carefully, ans ask any questions you may have prior to bidding. Shipping will be via USPS Priority Mail. NO INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING. By bidding on this cue, you agree that you've read the entire description and are aware of the cue's flaws.
