Pete Tascarella will not authenticate a shaft in writing, but he may look at it and verbally say it probably is or isn't a Balabushka. Now what you need to do is get a Tascarella cue, as this shaft will fit and the ring work will match.
I'm looking forward to this event! If visiting Denver from out of town, be sure to visit me at StarBUDS, the best Recreational Marijuana store in town.

I like the old yellow mircarta ferrules. They play slightly softer than ivory and feel very lively. Mine has stayed very clean like ivory, not showing chalk stains.
I have a perfect one in mint condition, hits unbelievably good. I would be willing to sell for a reasonable price as I just bought too many cues lately. PM me your email or call me...
