Yep, I check his website often. He restores cues like nobody else. It can be a regular cue, McDermott, etc, or it can be valuable, Bushka, Szamboti, etc. Scot does it all, and does it very well. He takes on old cues, which I like too. He did a restoral on a Paradise Diamond cue that I would...

Agree. He did a refinish on a Palmer of mine that was flawless. The very rare Second Catalog Model C. It's in the archives, as I actually put up cue pictures. I would recommend Scot over anybody else.

He has at least one assistant. A friend drove up a couple years ago and had some work done on a cue. Having said that, Scot is amazing and can do whatever you need for a cue.

I thought so. Great looking cue nonetheless, somebody went to a lot of effort on that cue.

Beautiful cue. I assume second catalog, Model D? One thing, that's a strange green veneer for a Titlist blank. To my knowledge, they were sort of an aqua green rather than what looks like a forest green on this cue. Any background on that?

I guess that was the jeweled Crown then. That was an early age to be playing such a valuable cue. Rempe himself in a televised match said it was worth ten grand. I assume Eric still owns the cue, but not sure.

That's my memory as well. Believe the fancy one played by Rempe was made about 1984.

For the sharp-eyed, is Jim Rempe holding his famous jewel-inlaid Meucci Crown cue? My impression was that it was built sometime in the 80s, could have been that early.

Probably more than 2 or 3 out of 100 average, but definitely not as plentiful as 14 thread pin with steel joint.

Did it make for a sweeter hit than normal? I'm still occasionally breast fed, so couldn't resist. :cool:

Also an advantage in golf.

After you use every level device possible, make a habit of rolling balls lengthwise and widthwise on the table, especially with carpet. Minimal adjustments sometimes have to be made.

Nice old school window design. A lot of way older Joss cues have a similar look. Good choice.

Justin, how about you look it all up for yourself.

One of the more interesting stories behind a cue. Thanks for posting. All the best, WW
