    John Robinson

    Burr maple butt. A truly custom cue. John did not use a cnc. 2 shafts, joint protectors and jump butt. $825 John died a few years ago. His joint is one of a kind. As soon as I figure out how to get my photos on here, I will. This is an extremely good hitting cue.

The best older player in my opinion was Bob Vanover. Best of luck Jay and if you are in Austin, look...

My brother and I could both play but we wilted under the fire of these guys. We took a soldier who was a good...
