Richard Black/Hopkins Collection

[wrldpro]

Here is a collection of Custom Cues made by Hall Of Famer Richard Black I had stored away and forgot about.The series started in 1998 & finished in 2004.If you look at the wood inlays in the bottom they are actually letter designs that spell out HOPKINS.The series was made after the Allen Hopkins super billiards expo.Also to note Mr.Black made only 6 cues each year and out of 6 different types of wood.I have the only matching wood set and they are all Rosewood.

Hopkins cues

I had the K with ebony points and but sleeve. Played with it for several years and then sold it to forum member deadpoked. One of the best playing cues I have owned.

What a great collection of cues.I love how he made each letter a design,and the fact that they are all rosewood makes them even more appealing.

It is nice to see a collection still together. That is a great group of cues.
