Broken record here: Find a used Olhausen for $500-$1000. Add 3/16' 60 durometer pocket facings and Simonis cloth. Have fun for the rest of your life.

McDermott G-Core painted and with decal = $300. McDermott G-Core painted and with decal that brings back wonderful memories = Priceless.

Keep talking!

I want one of these! On their website they offer a McDermott cue that has their gold elephant logo and “A.E. Schmidt” embossed on the leather wrap. $675.00 and it looks cool. Please buy 'em up so they run out of them before I spend $675.00 on another cue.

This is why I've always wanted one! But I'll never pull the trigger because of quality issues. Kind of like ogling a stripper.

I like the Viking Vikore shafts so I have several Viking cues. One is a Kayano. It is simple and beautiful. Maple is curly and pretty. Highly recommend.

I love seeing stuff like this. I wish there were a lot more of these real world cue posts!

At Grand-Olive Billiards in St. Louis, regular customers stored their cues in what I would call map cabinets, that is cabinets with a lot of shallow but long and wide drawers, say 36 inches by 36 inches by 4 inches.. Many of these cues were two piece cues made out of one-piece full splice house...

Couldn't find info in Cue and Shaft Reviews. Anybody have any experience with these shafts? Thanks.

Have had one over a year and use it regularly with no issues. As mentioned: It’s a hefty fellow. Spinner shifts directions halfway through. Beats hell out of a Home Depot bucket polisher. Very happy with it.

I have been in love with pool my whole long life (since age 10 anyway) and believe it to be a magical game. In my younger years pool tournaments required suits and ties for players and in some tournaments tuxedos. Guess what, pool has been considered a low class sport the whole time. I believe...

Viking also has archives that sometimes have trouble working.

It’s the Indian not the arrow. You can’t play anywhere near Fedor no matter what kind of cue you use. Instead of thinking about cues, you should spend your money on lessons. Good players can win with crooked cues off the wall. Ok now that we’ve got all that out of the way, it looks like...

I have an Olhausen I am very happy with. After 35 years I added 3/16 inch shims and this removed pocket rattles. Beautiful wood and you can pick them up cheap from people who are moving. If not Olhausen try to find an A.E. Schmidt -- not too hard to find in the Midwest.

"Active in the 1960s and 70s" is a confusing but it must mean he was active as a tournament player. He is still very active as a teacher today.
