Joe Davis 600 3/4 Jointed Cue
The world famous Joe Davis played with a Peradon cue and in his appreciation he gave Peradon the indefinite, sole rights to manufacture cues bearing his name. The Joe Davis 600 is a classic cue of yesteryear and has now been reintroduced to the Peradon range with the added benefit of some modern day touches such as the quick action joint and butt end joint. This is a full size, 58 inch, 3/4 jointed cue crafted by Peradon in England from the highest grade, kiln dried, North American Ash and exotic Ebony.
Manufacture & Specifications
The ash is carefully selected for strength and straightnessbefore the finest, genuine Ebony butt timber is spliced to the cueby hand and the cue is shaped to produce the distinctive four roundpoint pattern of a hand spliced cue.
The Ebony front splice with distinctive Sycamore striped patternis then hand spliced to the Ebony butt. In order to reduce stressto the timbers the cue is then shaped over a period of time untilthe final tapered shape is achieved, after which the numeroussanding and finishing processes are then undertaken to achieve a'silk smooth' finish. The cue shaft is then stamped in thetraditional manner with the cue weight to the nearest 1/2 oz.
To eliminate joint problems the two sections of the 'quickaction' joint are each precision turned from a single piece ofsolid brass and precisely fitted 12" from the butt end to give theshaft length of 46".
The butt is finished with a Peradon Joe Davis 600 name plate and'quick action' butt end joint to accept the optional extensions onthe 'related products' section of this page.
