Somewhat agree, but for single layer tips such as Triangle, you want the biggest ones. They come from the better, thicker part of the hide.

Less straight pool, more nine and ten ball, and younger players get down further to shoot. You don't do a slip stroke when your chin is touching your shaft. So much different from the days of Cowboy Jimmy Moore, when they stood much more upright, and didn't take such longer power draw shots...

Believe you also have Sigel, Geese, and Tom Vanover there?

Agree. Whether single layer or multi-layer tip, there are not going to be multiple levels of hardness over the tip.

Well, anybody with that username, I don't think you'd want to communicate with.

Yep, it was in Asbury Park. Steve didn't get it back. If you search Lisciotti Balabushka, you'll find it. Somebody was trying to sell it here some time ago, not sure where it is now. Very nice cue. Edit, here it was. I don't know what became of it...

Good to hear from you. I had the impression that Bobby's first cue of this rendition had acrylic in the buttsleeve. I'm guessing you still have it, and it's a great cue to have. I wasn't sure if Bobby travelled to you or somewhere else to get the cue of this thread. There are some other...

Gorgeous cue by a talented cuemaker. Actually, both your cue and Mosconi's Bushka had five veneers. from the outside, Black, green, mahogany, blue, and white. It's a little easier to see in the following picture.

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.
