Ebony on ebony Southwest cue 04-415
This is an ebony Southwest cue that we just finished up here at Proficient Billiards.
South-West Cues are legendary, highly coveted custom pool sticks originally founded by Jerry Franklin in 1982. Known for their distinct points, signature pin, exceptional balance, and unique “stiff” hitting characteristics, they are widely considered both premium player cues and high-value collector items. Because of extreme demand, ordering a brand new cue directly from South-West has an estimated waiting list stretching roughly 10 to 18 years, pushing the secondary market value well into thousands of dollars.
Core Key Specifications
- The Pin: Signature 3/8 x 11 threaded pin, which heavily influences the solid feel and feedback.
- Standard Package: Each genuine custom cue traditionally ships directly from the shop with two matching maple shafts.
- Weight Variations: Cues utilizing lighter woods like Birdseye Maple are naturally lighter, while heavy exotics like Cocobolo or Purpleheart lean on the heavier side (often pushing the butt weight past 16 oz).
