This is the green version of Keith Andy's jump cue, "BlackJack." The shaft is thick, and the cue ball flies with just a light swing. I think it's a jump cue that even beginners and women can use to jump the cue ball. I bought it new and haven't used it very often, so there are no noticeable scratches or stains, but there is a feeling of use and some small scratches if you look closely (please refer to the photos). Of course, it doesn't affect the performance. If you are interested, please consider it.
