Linen based melamine. My favorite by far. A very solid hit. Thanks

One more question what are the ferrules made of.

Phenolic joint. I have never played with Andy's cues though I have never heard nothing but good things about his cues but I can tell you Paul Dayton's cues play real real good.
Thanks. Jeff

Jeff what is the joint made of on the Paul Dayton cue you have for sale. I have owned a couple Gilberts. How does this cue compare to one of Andy's as far as how it plays.
