Identify Signed Efren Reyes Cue
I won this signed Efren Reyes cue last week in a raffle when Efren was in town.
Does anyone know the maker of the cue? I didn’t get a ton of info besides the fact that he played with it over the past year.
I don’t have a place to display the cue, so it is for sale.
More pics available on Bananas Billiards FB page.

billiardsforum on 2/8/2020 6:31:44 AMWe're going to need to see the rest of the cue.
I don't want to have to spend my own time to go searching through Facebook to look up photos of your cue so I can help you identify it. It would be like me asking a mechanic for a free appraisal of my car, and then telling him to go find it himself in a big parking lot somewhere.
Post clear photos of the cue, including the joint, butt sleeve, and forearm.
Also post details about what you were told when you asked the organizers and/or Efren Reyes about what kind of cue it was.
If you have any info on who his cue sponsor(s) was/were during that time, please share that as well. It may help.
Help me help YOU.

Here are a couple more photos of the cue:
I will try to get more info on the cue.
The raffle was Monday 2020-02-03, which was the last day of Mr. Reyes' visit to San Antonio, TX. I spent the evening watching him play and he is still "The Magician". I pitched a couple bucks into the raffle and didn’t even look at the cue stick. I should be able to contact the pool hall Efren is playing at the weekend in Houston, TX. The language barrier makes this fun.
Thanks in advance.

Those are perfect... I will have another look through some catalogs tonight.
It's sad (and weird) that the folks from the pool hall organizing the event wouldn't have asked about what it is... etc.
I've done a bit of digging last night, and Mezz was a brand I was thinking about initially, as Mezz released an Efren Reyes line of cues, but I've not yet been able to match this cue up with any particular model.
- Are there any other logs, names, markings, etc. on the cue anywhere besides the Efren Reyes signature?
- Is the signature on top of, or underneath the clear-coat?
I did find this one photo of Efren Reyes at a pool tournament on 2017-12-21 (which he shared on his Instagram account). The joint collar appears very similar (note the similarities in the proportions of the black rings), but the photo isn't clear, and I didn't get any further in the research (I couldn't find any other photos from that tournament).

I am 99% sure I've identified the company that made this pool cue.
I think it is a cue from JD Custom Cues of the Philippines, based on this almost identical or very similar design from their website.
This should get you pointed in the right direction to continue your search:
You are the man! That design is dead on.
Thank you for taking the time to help me out. I'll post my findings once verified.
