I purchased this cue used about four years ago. I haven't used it for two years since I bought a new cue, and it's been kept in a cue case. Butt: 445g Shaft: High-tech shift, 119g Grip: Thread wrap Tip: Bizen Five Joint: Uni-Loc It's an old cue, but it's in good condition. I think it's good for beginners to intermediate players.
