Does a lot of work with John Showman and worked with Ron Haley before he passed.

Here is some more info on Todd in this thread about the collaboration cues he and John Showman made together.

No worries missing the Frog, right up 95 we got Wacko's and Sinsations. While in JAX if you miss the feel of the Frog nearby to those two there are also Centerfold and the Doll House if you like a little more, cushion.

uh, thanks for the tips.

I think it's around 19 oz, will weigh it later. There is a weight bolt thread in it. 12.75 mm.

Bought it as a cheap J/B combo for travel. Used it a few times until I got a good deal on Jacoby Black.

Some Chinese version of Uniloc + quick release. Phenolic.

Suprisingly, it was actually a really good J/B cue for the price. Breaks hard. And jumps pretty good, def better I think than most production wood. It is not very forgiving with sloppy breaking technique, esp 2nd ball break is hard to control. But I adjusted to it pretty quickly.

No dings, excellent cond.

$200 PPFF, shipping to 48 included.

Thanks,
-A

....snip... WHY then do most of the high end cue makers still have long waiting lists and why are people still buying wood cues on the secondary market here and everywhere else for thousands$$. ?

...snip...l.

Because they operate on "cuemaker time".

All that matters in a pool hall is how good one plays. Absolouley nothing else. In fact, I've seen lower level players with high end BB's that caused everyone to laugh at them.

You mean in over 20 years there has not been a new and revised/updated edition?

Hasn't there been alot of changes, advancements, technology, different cuemakers, etc, etc, the last 20+ years?

Maybe it's a lot of work for not many sales.

Nobody knows what BB is.
Have status at the pool hall means nothing.
Pool cues is a small niche

hmmm...does anyone here know what I was referring to making reference to a 50K BB cue is?

How is having status at a pool hall any less than having status anywhere else? Does wearing a Rolex at the yacht club yield any tangible benefits? "Status" is subjective and contextual. In the "context" of a pool hall, "status" can mean something to someone. No less or no less meaningful than someone's Rolex at their yacht club.

Yes, I would agree pool cues are a small niche. Of course, there's probably thousands of other small niche collectables and some of those niches have collectables that sell for millions.
