Andy knocked it out of the park. I designed the cue and he took all my suggestions and did just a few little changes. It turned out gorgeous. The workmanship is fantastic as always in Andy's cues.
Beside Andy and Vicki i have to thank Sean Brown who made this possible and was more than helpful as always.
When great people are involved, the result is always outstanding!

Enjoy the photos

You have more invested in cues than what I paid for my house. Very nice collection.

Thank you. It is just a very small part of my collection actually

I looked through the NAPA official rules and it appears that they use the foot spot like everyone else. Do you have official NAPA rules text that says otherwise?

I have used the wrong term for the spot. When I posted the only term I could think of was break spot.

Mods, delete my previous post.

They are like Doritos. LOL! Can't eat just one.

The values have gotten crazy these days.

Preferences vary, but I think it's hard to deny he made good cues. I think he definitely had distinctive designs.

And he definitely did it "his way" with success.

Interesting to me as well is that he was not a pool player.

More than one has said they wish they had bout a few when they were cheap.

When I was young and recently got my Joss, I remember arguing with a close friend. He said his grandfather and his dad said Huebler cues were the best. I had not even heard of Huebler. His said his grandfather had one, but I never saw it. I never even met his grandfather.

That guy later got into Meucci, and was a prominent local league player. I think he still plays with a Meucci.

I talked to him a few years ago for the first time in something like 30 years. Of course, the cues came up. Yup, we argued a little, but it was friendly. I told him I had more than a few Huebler cues and that made him feel better.

I started doing repairs in 1979. Then building in 1983. Seen a lot of Hueblers. The 211 club where I worked was a dealer for Huebler.
His cues were always built with first class components. Never saw one with any warpage.

Good shooting all! We have a couple new entires, and some jockeying of position by existing players. Keep it up! First post updated.

...snip... I really don't understand this foul talk in this forum, because the rules on this thread say cueball fouls only... snip....

I made the rules very relaxed in this thread, CB fouls only, and any racking/cleaning method you like. We are all amateurs here. Bobby is arguing about all ball fouls for the top professionals that were first trying to break Mosconi's record, then Schmidt's, and now Shaw's. After all the hoopla when Schmidt broke Mosconi's about the foul, I didn't want any of that drama in this thread, so I wrote "cb fouls only, and feel free to make the rules harder for yourself if you choose".

Guy is chasing a a DREAM, better then not doing anything but TALKING BS.

IMO, I doubt he himself believes it. He's just going for youtube hits to drive sales for whatever his app is. Maybe its the guy from a week ago that had an app survey on here?

I was just in a 10 ball tournament last night with 2 640-650 that took 2:15 hrs for a race to 7, that finished 7-2. I wanted to strangle them both, as I was waiting for the winner. Does this setup have automatic shot clock capabilities? I think that's where the value is, for me anyway!

100% !

why doesn't some sharp guy/gal manufacture a ball template...piece of stainless steel with a 2.25 hole punched in it...for sale. For the really anal....2 holes....go and no go....gauges like they do for ammo reloaders.

I had a whole thread on that and had a few made, laser cut. I let the idea die though, that was 3-4 years ago. The new ball sets are almost all universally excellent (when brand new), whether made by Aramith or Dynaspheres. I don't think there are any other manufacturers of legit phenolic resin balls?

The main differences, IMO, are how clean they stay, and the aesthetic design/colors.
