is there much if any difference in hit/playability between these cue lines?
 
I think they are the same companies.

Perhaps not when they were first started, but for the last few decades.
 
Not bragging

adams helmstetter/balabushka

same cue in my opinion

i have a helmstetter from 15 years ago and there is a world of difference

But I have a Helmstetter from 1977. Still use it every once in awhile.
It hits great. Great color and design. He made 12 a year himself in those days so it was not manufactured like the Adams line that sold way cheaper and made cheaper but were great cues for beginners.
 
Not just Pool Brains

I always heard that Richard Helmstetter was the brains behind Adam cues.
He's also the brains behind the Callaway Golf Big Bertha Driver. Not too shabby for an old pool guy!! :thumbup:

That's cool. I had a Helmstetter back in the 80's. I also just got a Big Bertha 7 iron for Christmas. Never knew that.
