Hello guys, I am contemplating selling my Gilbert cue and have a few questions so I can get some opinions out there. I have owned the cue for about 5 years and have had minimal playing time with it. I grew up playing with an older Adams cue that was a Balabushka look a like and has the 5/16-14...

Thanks for the input on Mr. Black. To be honest, I ordered a cue from him, received it after a few months, and then upon looking at the cue determined there were far too many imperfections to accept. I truly believe he used to make beautiful works of art that function amazingly. That said...

Thanks bbb! Will post when I get the cue!

Hi bbb, can you PM me with Mr. Gilbert's contact info? I did a google search but don't see a website for him. Thanks again!

Hi thanks for all the recent posts! I must admit I didn't think it would be this hard for me to make a decision. I am leaning toward getting the cue from Andy. Will make a decision soon and thanks again for all the information guys!

Thanks bbb! I just don't think I csn justify nearly double the cost for the Schick plus the wait time. Thanks again for your reply!

Hello! I recently had to return a cue that I had made by a reputable cue maker. Needless to say, the quality was just not there anymore, maybe because of age, maybe because of some other reasons. Nevertheless, I want to get something memorable and that will be a great player as well as...

Thanks Tony, I am going to call Jerry tomorrow!

Hi RFranklin, thanks for posting. I am not trying to insult him in any way, I really admire what I have seen from him and from some of the other Black cues I have seen first hand. What I saw in person made me want to get one because the cues looked amazing and hit so well. I am just disappointed.

Does anyone have any comments on Steve Klein or Jerry Rauenzahn in terms of their cue performance and quality?

Anyone have any experience with these cues? How do they hit?

Thanks Chris, I will look him up!

Can anyone tell me who made this tribute cue at the front of this thread?

Hey guys, just curious if anyone can help with this question about custom cue makers. Out of the list below of cue makers, does anyone know who has a reputation for making "Balabushka" type cues that would look similar to the one George made for Willie Mosconi. I am looking for high end and...

Hi Bob, I just received my Richard Black Bushka, very similar to yours! Actually it's probably almost the same in looks. I wanted to ask you a question about the cue. When I got mine I looked it over and noticed some flaws that I am having a hard time accepting. The first thing I noticed is...

I still haven't found a good box style case, and I just bought a Richard Black cue that needs a good case. Anyone have some ideas???

I looked at the Longoni and it is plastic, although some have leather on the outside they still have a plastic casing. I guess I will try and get a hold of JB and see what he says. Anyone else feel free to chime in if they know of anyone else. Thanks again!

Thanks for the info. I talked to the guy and he wanted around $2000. Seems a bit high to me. Anyone else have some other case makers?

Hello, I am new to the forum. I would like to know if anyone knows of a custom cue case maker that makes hard box style cases that open like a regular box. All I have ever come across are the cheap ones made by Schmelke. I found a custom maker of wood cue cases named Roger H. Taft; however...
