The cue is a "Slade" I don't recall off hand the "Boss" was, But Clay Ethridge (Now owner of Showcase Billiards)was one of the cue makers, as well as Nick Wright, Who has been with Showcase from its inception.
One of the problems with the company,although the cues were first rate,was that there was a strip bar a block away! PT'S show club. Its still there in englwood colorado in fact.
If anyone knows the who started it, and who the other guy was, (there were four guys?? I think) feel free to chime in.Or I'll ask clay next time I see him if not.
