Hi there, a friend of mine brought me this. The most I could tell him was that it was made by Gene Newport. He said there's some significance to the "BR93" on the other side of the cue. Could anyone help me get an answer to this and an approximate value? Thanks in advance!

Recently I purchased a table and this guy included all of his accessories. One of the cues that he had he said it was over 50 years old, I cannot seem to figure this one out! The shaft doesn't seem to be made of wood, and it is hollow? Also I don't know if this wrap is linen or not? Any help...

Ah, okay. I will look into getting more pictures. I was just considering picking it up if it was a decent cue and reselling. Thanks for the advice!

Yes I believe it is carved. The only reason I am looking into buying is because I think it is carved and the price is right if it's a quality cue.

I've been talking with this guy about buying this cue from him for x amount but I'm not sure if it is worth it. He doesn't know much about pool and cannot tell me any more about the cue other than the only marking is 2102 and what he has heard about it. Here's a picture.

How does this chalk compare to Blue Diamond?

Well it would be once every game or so... lol

LOL that is exactly right! It's all personal preference. I had a cue made in 2010 and it wasn't cheap! But I just wanted a one of a kind cue that nobody else had!

I fully agree with this! I have a hard time getting it down on a new table, but at my home bar we play on 9ft Diamond tables and I cannot make the wing ball with my break cue! I have to soft break with my shooting cue to make it, but whatever works!

My buddy has his 9ft. Connelly under a terrace in his backyard. He's had it for about 2 years now and there's no damage that would affect play. He covers it at night and cleans the balls regularly
