    Carl Conlon Series Helmstetter CCS Cue

    I just picked up a well used but beautiful CCS cue. I have not hit with it yet, but plan to take pics and play a few points this weekend. Does anyone out there own a Conlon Series Helmstetter? Any collectors? I have seen a wide range of asking prices but I'm unsure of its true value. Pics...

    Here are some pics of my new Omen Custom cue

    Beautiful cue. The inlay/engraving really stands out. I like Pete's elephant wraps too. Enjoy.

    Pics of my new omen cue....

    Pete really knows how to contrast his materials. This cue is nothing short of FANTASTIC! Nice tight inlay theme too. This one has a lot of inlay work yet the snakewood sets the tone. I appreciate the visual balance. My kind of cue. Congratulations

    Any Dennis Dieckman 3-Cushion fans out there???

    I am a Dieckman Cue fan and have several in the mancave. Billiards isn't the same for me without them. I think Dieckman is a fine person and masterful 3C cue builder; there will never be another quite like him. Vic Stein needs no introduction either. Owning a cue built for him would be a...

    Top 5 Most Significant Cues..

    You had me with the first 3. I would add Ernie's box cue, built for Ed Kelly (the first box cue ever constructed) My 5th cue would require some consideration. Where to I place my emphasis...on a cue that changed history or on a cue that would command the highest value or one that I would...

    Meucci Cue Collection!

    Seeing that ebony pointed Howard series cue brought back memories. I practically lived in the smoke choked pool room and played thousands of racks with that original Meucci. I miss the cue and that time from my youth

    Carom Cue Advice Please

    After playing with my first Dieckman cue, I sold all of my Schulers. Schuler cues play very well but I find far greater satisfaction owning 1 of a kind cues. Schuler designs tend to be repeated. I sold about 6 Schuler cues. Over the last 10 years or so, I bought 6 or 7 Dieckmans. Each is...

    ><>< Wrapless Cocobolo Steve Dunkel ><><

    Steve builds a strong playing cue. He has sold all inventory at the last 3 Superbilliards Expo shows. This is a lot of cue for reasonable money. Product recommended.

    just a couple webbs

    Do you remember what cue you were using when you shot the best pool of your life??? Maybe I'm lucky in that one night stands out...I felt unbeatable and for about 8 hours, was at the center of attention. Railbirds, running out on everybody and getting the girl at the end. Some make this a...

    Question about Custom cues or Name brand cue?

    I think Earl put to bed any question about what a production cue can do in the right hands. That being said, however, I have spoken with 3 other top pros (2 of whom were US Open Champions) who candidly admitted their custom cues led to vastly better performance than the sponsor provided...

    Chris Nitti shows strong at the ICCS

    Ordered my SW in 2003. Laurie says my slot is coming soon. And yes, I'll be paying full price. All I can say is that after waiting a decade, I'll see this one through to the end.

    Chris Nitti shows strong at the ICCS

    I was once asked to move along by a different individual from a broker's cue booth. I was hurt and thought the person acted unfairly. In fact, an Asian buyer had just walked in with over 100K to pay for a special cue held for him at that time. Discourtesy is not cool, but it is understandable...

    Richard Black Does it Again at ICCS

    Its funny you'd say that, even in gest. As I set up to shoot a close up of the shafts, I saw the rings didn't line up...but then I realized the JP just hadn't been fully threaded onto the shaft. A quarter turn and they were flawlessly registered. Nobody builds perfection, but RB's work...

    ***2013 ICCS pics***

    The last picture you posted has my ivory handled Tonkin box cue "Pandora" near the center. It is positioned to the left of two very interesting cues. This display is of the Grand Collection where cuemakers and collectors submit a favorite cue for judgment as best in show. Pandora earned many...

    Matt It was a great pleasure talking to you guys...really the reason I chose to display this year. I had hoped a collector might take interest in something I brought and ask me to explain my reason for owning that item. When my collecting lacked focus, I was really unable to answer that...
