This cue was part of a prize package won by EFREN“BATA” REYES on October 13, 1996 when he won The 1996 Camel World 9-Ball Championship in Charlotte, NC. I don’ t know if Reyes ever actually played with this cue. Only that he won it. This is a cue that I never wanted to let go of. As it is a piece of history of one of, if not the greatest player to ever play the game. I have included several pictures that are a good representation of the cue. I have also included some supporting documentation that is freely available on the internet. A quick search for Efren Reyes will give you a wikipedia page with his bio and tournament history. It will also take you to the documents that I have listed here. The cue itself is 19.2 oz. Gray stained hardrock maple, black with white fleck Irish linen wrap, 5/16 x 18 threaded joint and has the tournament name, city and state printed in a cream color. It also has the Maximum name printed on the butt cap. It has been used lightly, but is in great condition and has only a couple of minor blemishes. Some of the sheen is dulled on the linen wrap, but is in excellent condition. It rolls straight together and apart.
