Here is a great ONE owner cue, that comes with a copy of the original receipt. Model 11, refinished and reworked by Joel Hercek in the 90's. The backend was redone in pearlescent and a new window installed. Cue hits really good, natural ferrules. Nice smooth white with green spec linen wrap...

I was speaking mainly about the 80's. In Cali at that same time.. Martin was gone, Schrager was left, Tad was left and Ernie was still in his first sabbatical. Smaller shops like Hank Corsair. Today the North East is loaded as well, Lambros, BB, Tascarella, PFD, and others.. Now tell me of...

There was a time cuemakers were very regional. I grew up in NJ and the names that were synonymous with custom cues was Szamboti and Balabushka. Palmer was the "production" company. 1980 ish.. Meucci's, Adam, and a few McD's starting to make headway. I saw my first custom cuemaker brochure in...

There have been some cuemakers that play very good... Many mentioned here.... But I'll add Paul Mottey, Skip Weston, Fanelli, Pete Tascarella Sr. JV

Your fanboy comment is very funny and I know a lot of custom cue guys would fit in that category as well if their favorite cuemaker took a dump it would be the best dump ever, as well as the most precision crap ever. Best playing cue is kind of a loaded question, because you can take the cue you...

Tire kicking.. aka asking questions is to be expected. Of course, to people who aren't OCD, some of the questions are tedious. Balance point to a third place decimal, growth rings of the shaft wood, send me 12 videos, specific gravity of the wrap material... last one is facetious, but you get...

You are not lying there... and there are a lot of flippers. Many of the lowballers are resellers, I would like them to just ask, and be good about it. Hey I am a reseller can we do something? Instead of lowballing a Les Paul custom. The market is very parallel to cues, except people buy guitars...

I have never seen these videos before. JV

If you want to make a SW tribute the layout is easy. But to put a cactus pin and false date, and to replicate the back end is wrong. You may want to do it for you, but when you die, or you sell, how many owners will "lose" or "forget" the story? Things like this are unwarranted. You can make a...

As men become more feminine they have smaller hands... :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: It helps tighten their man bun band. JV

In the late 80's and into the early 90's, Joe Porper and Creative Inventions were a staple in pool. I remember his ads in the magazines and there are so many people that got their starts using Creative Inventions equipment. He was one of the first cue specific machinery makers. Everyone I knew...

If the ivory is over 100 years old, there is really nothing to worry about. It is exempt from selling issues. Most ivory balls are prior to 1924 and relatively easy to claim. As far as value, it looks clean so I think it would be worth a bit more than the norm. As far as selling the ivory, if...

I sold this cue on ebay for 466.00 about 6 years ago. Joe's cues weren't popular when he made them let alone years later.

There was a sticky for a while on how to take photos of cues. The gentleman's name was Thomas Whittaker and he was from the New England area. He passed away relatively young, but an insightful guy when it came to pics. In fact it is in the gallery, his name was Monstermash, it is a sticky in the...
