Southwest This is a Southwest cue from the Jerry Franklin era. Extremely rare 60-inch size. Fully restored by T2 Factory. Coating and painting done. The wrap is re-wrapped to its original state. The butt rubber has been replaced with a new one. Since there is no engraving on the pin, it is believed to be a work from before 1993. Southwest Cues, established by founder Jerry Franklin, is one of the highest peaks of American custom cues. In particular, cues made during Jerry's lifetime are called the "Jerry Franklin era" and are now highly regarded for their completeness and rarity. The biggest feature is the traditional design that eschews flashiness, and the highly accurate inlay work, which not only looks beautiful but also creates a sense of stability and a solid feel during the stroke. Also, the Southwest cues from the Jerry Franklin era have a unique personality in terms of "sound" and "feel," and the clear sound of the ball hitting and the solid feeling have fascinated many top players. This is because Jerry's own philosophy and experience are strongly reflected in everything from material selection to drying and assembly. Southwest Cues are still being made today, but the individual cues from the Jerry Franklin era are considered to be in a class of their own, and are highly valued not only by players but also by collectors.
