In the very early 80’s he was feared by many.

None of the cuemakers in my network use Nelsonite or other dipping agent. They all apply a shaft sealer and finish coat (with automotive clear coat, UV or similar) 3-4” at the joint end.

I wonder which rail rubber they use on the newer model tables? The Accu-fast rubber is 1/3 the mass and size of Artemis. The 12 year old 9’ Olhausen tables at our community clubhouse were just recovered with Simonis 860HR and they play slow. And yes, the pocket angles are incorrect.

This would be a dandy project cue for a fan of Ernies early work. Most would not touch it unless priced quite low. If Ernie would agree to refurbish the cue that would help but at his age who knows if he would agree to do it— or if it’s actually in a condition to benefit from a refurbishment...

Yes he did. He could play on the American Snooker table too. I knew him 1982-1985 from College Billiards, shared a few meals with him.

Mike Stacey is vastly under appreciated. He’s a 30+ year veteran cuemaker and American Cuemaker Association officer. His cues generally follow South West specifications. He’s a standup and no nonsense man who delivers when he says he will. His cues are an excellent value to boot.

Precision split at about .024 my new Black Milled Goat wrap is a full grain leather from one of Europe's premier tanneries. The texture is the result of the milling process during the tanning--not embossed. This leather has a medium soft feel unlike most cowhides. $35 each or $32 in any...

Like brand new.

New. Snug value.

Last new Steve Serna cue in stock until July.

Extremely nice and from tip top tier award winning maker!

Very pocket friendly--well below 2026 MSRP.

Last 2 in stock until July.

With this field it is unlikely any of these guys can win.

Great build in the best tulipwood-the real orange color wood. The forward balance will make the cue feel lighter than it actually is.
