This exotic cue was made by legendary cue maker, Frank Paradise. Paradise is a pioneer in the realm of cue sticks; he was the first to ever use exotic plastics in crafting professional cues. Paradise has designed and made cues for all the top players and celebrities from 1948-68. Carrying the name of the greatest all-around player in history, “Willie Hoppe”, engraved in scripted lettering at the top of the handle, the cue offered here has several distinguishing qualities: 4 points, 4 very colorful veneers, blank brass piloted joint, classic tan leather wrap, a clear plastic window in the butt sleeve, ivory butt cap, and shaft with black phenolic ferrule cue. Weighs 20.5 ounces, measures 58” in length. A fine example of Frank Paradise’s legendary and revolutionary cue making techniques. EX-MT condition.
