I like 11, I dont care for the wrap but nice cue.

Congrats, thats a great cue.

I knew that they did at one time, I dont know if they still do.

I know this sounds crazy, but 20+ years ago there was thread where the question was what pros were playing with a Szamboti. If I remember correctly, there were several. I would be willing to bet that number has gone to 0. Time changes. Ken

I have a Balabushka and a couple Gus. My player cue is the 57" Gus Hoppe cue. I would buy either, but price has to be right on both. Ken

Great way to pi$$ off a cuemaker......LOL. Beautiful cue.

Probably another Rick Howard cue.....

Im convinced it is a combination of mental health issues and drugs. That's why I dont make fun of him or his antics. Making fun of a mental guy isnt fair game in my book. Ken

I dont think $10K would buy my Balabushka, or either of my Gus Szamboti cues. I have been offered more that $10K for my Southwest. But my Bill Schick is my favorite cue of all, and I think $5K would be a fair price for it. I have never had an issue selling a cue. Problem is I rarely sell...

Another cue if I owned I could never sell it. GLWS

My view. 1.) I consider myself lucky to have seen Efren play in person many times. He is the best I have ever seen, and I have interviewed and seen most players from 50 years ago., 2.) The players today are stronger today than 50 years ago. I think alot has to do with equipment, but you...

Kindly explain. Ken

In its present condition and needing shafts, I think its worth is about 3-400. If you want to refinish with new wrap and have a shaft made, I recommend Rick Howard or maybe Proficient Billiards. Be careful as you can spend more on it than its worth on a lower value cue. Best of rolls. Ken

As all of us has met a ton of characters over the years. These two one-liners came from my cousin who was a solid pool player but wasnt near shortstop level. It didnt matter what tournament he played in, even if he went 2 and out, when asked how he finished, he would always reply, "I was one...
