Based on the builder's "style" I prefer Showman cues. I think Showman cues are supreme within the confines of the traditional style and I also think they play among the best cues available...but... Your original question offers the choice of "any" cue though and that puts this opportunity into...

Thanks for posting better pics Scott. Greenies coming your way. The point design Jake came up with seems unique to me. Truly creative and original. In talking to him I got the sense this young cuemaker holds deep respect for those who elevated the craft to its present level. He has a good...

Chris has been professional at every turn in my experience. You must have caught him at a particularly bad moment. In any case, I think the opinion is shared that his work is world class. I for one am excited to see his design concepts extending into box cues. Chris's work is superbly...

I will take some clean shots and make a separate thread dedicated to Lucky Cues. I've asked Lucky to consider submitting an elaborate cue for ICCS membership consideration. Standards to become so recognized are very high. Here is an example of a cue examined this year. Great work Jake...

It made me sick to walk past it...but I have promises to keep and cues coming.

He was honored as such at the awards banquet. And the man keeps on coming up with new concepts...just amazing.

Thanks very much for the kind words. I agree the Lucky Cues are AMAZING. People were taking a 20X loop to the inlays and remarking at his precision...almost unparalleled precision. Though these cues were not offered for sale at the ICCS event, Lucky is selling new cues through me so feel free...

This is a show like no other. I saw one of the greatest gatherings of Tad Cues ever in one place, an unrivaled collection of ornate Kersenbrocks, brought all the way from Japan just for this event, a series of monster Gilbert cues, the best new offerings from Thomas Wayne, Chris Nitti, Richard...

This was a great show for me and an honor to display the pride of my cue collection in such esteemed company. There were world class cues and cases on all sides, quite literally a concentration of the best of the best. My theme this year was "Why I Collect" and for those who stopped by to talk...

I know what you're saying about Nitti playability. I complimented Chris for his clean veneers, especially the look of his flame veneers. He remarked that his personal player has a similar combination and I reminded him that I had gotten a good look at that cue the night before... when he used...

Mr. Black graced the show with an array astonishing examples of cue creativity. Though he had a large display of cues, one particular model with a Venetian theme was most impressive for me. For a moment, the world vanished and there was only the detail of this cue. Pics cannot capture the...

It was great seeing Chris Nitti at this year's event. He rolled out a series of gorgeous cues including a flame veneer ivory point beauty and his first box cue ever. Those who know my addiction will appreciate these pics. Thanks Chris for rolling out such strong cues this year and...

Rik It was GREAT to see you at the ICCS. Your cues, cases and fine character enhanced the event more than you know. I enjoyed talking to you and was blown away by those Fellini's! Be sure to pass along everyone's thanks to your Mom for some of the best confections ever...with members like...

A very successful design. I agree, one of his best to date.

Bump for a price drop. Own it for $750

Nice birdseye! Sending this one to the top for a seller I have bought from on several occasions. Reliable, trustworthy

Hey folks here is a cool Meucci with some collector appeal. It is straight and in clean used shape, a good player's weight right around 19oz. Jimmy Fusco called Jim Rempe saying he wanted to sell his Meucci. I sold 5 or 6 of Mr. Rempe's cues over the years so this Meucci was sent to me as a...

Thanks for the kind words Steve I was fascinated with the iconic inlay designs and where they came from...what made Gus choose a propeller to put into his cue??? One day it just clicked...etch Gus' original patterns. The hard part was finding the right medium to etch upon...so when I managed...

I hear you Myron. I toyed with the idea of buying Art Cantando's table but with only 1 room large enough for it I would have to get rid of my couch...there would be no place to entertain or relax. That might make sense for some, even for me at one time, but my bachelor days and pool playing...

Thanks Greg. Check out the other frames in the gallery. I have 7 in all, each with different patterns etched. The set would be incredible in someone's pool room.
