    Jimbo, I don't have to call him. I was with him last weekend discussing the hoppe butt jazz among other things. He seems to verbalize just fine without assistance. I'm sure he gets a kick out of reading this on his own also.

    B.p. Jimbo, My B.P. is actually a little low! I thought you would enjoy some sarcastic banter. Somewhere in it was a glimmer of dark humor, I thought. In reality, I liked the verbal sparring session with you rooster; if it appears I hit below the belt, I am sorry. p.s. thanks for the...

    I can see why Barry doesn't get caught up in these opinionated discussions. Rest assured, if I want Barry's opinion I will go "straight to the horses mouth" I do know one end from the other.

    Listen, Jimbo; If I were you I wouldn't speak for Barry on this subject. HE DID make this cue WITHOUT a rubber bumper almost 14 years ago and as I said before, I requested the bumper only recently. I know full well what a standard hoppe butt looks like and need no collaborating pictures. I am...

    Yes, thats part of it. The old Hoppe butted cues really don't have a rubber bumper to my knowledge. This particular cue originally didn't have the very small bumper you can see on it now. If you look on proficient billiards site in gallery under Barry"s cues you will find it w/o one. It had a...

    Gus cue Much better pics of the cue on proficient billiards "cue gallery" look for Gus S. and click on bottom left cue. I too, had envisioned this cue with diamonds in the butt until I saw the 8 point Gus on "skins" rare szamboti thread recently. Actually, the response to that by "Barbara"...

    Yes it is, Barry made me this cue in 1992 and used Gus' venners and black cortland for the cue. This is the fanciest hoppe butted cue he has made. I always liked mitered box points and was very fortunate that Barry made it just the way I wanted it with all the bushka rings and the inscription...
