    Palmer custom shop... the day they built a Balabushka

    In my over 30 years of cues, I have never seen an intentional Palmer built to look like a Balabushka. Well I would have said one was possible, sure, why not. But to see one and get one... now.. that is a different hog altogether. I do think based on the history learned about Palmer, a bunch of...

    Thanks hope you're well as well... I am going to say something that is probably going to go over like a Lead Balloon. You have two nice titlists, make sure you send them to an A-lister not an up an comer. If you want to send a true-balance to someone that is relatively unknown, more power to...

    A Bushka ring acts as a buzz ring when they are assembled. So it is in essence a visible buzz ring. As said earlier, they end up in titlist conversions and for various reasons, none of them good, IMHO. Joe

    Please don't let anyone put a buzz ring in them. Or any fancy ring at what would be the normal handle position. Like them kids putting a spoiler on a four door Camry.

    New book about GEORGE BALABUSHKA!!

    A book would be possible, however now I think that a lot of the people that actually knew George, are probably gone or memory deficient. The book would be a bit biographical, a large portion of his pool history, including room ownership, his romance with pool as a fan. Then there would have to...

    2 cue questions?

    1981 Heubler custom shop

    The blue mammoth, is also a popular custom shop model. But the kins, queens, and the East Coast IMHO seem to be the most sought after. The queen, has one of my favorite butt sleeve designs, a version also seen on a Joss West catalog cue. Model 17 below. J.Van

    1981 Heubler custom shop

    If he went to FB, there is a Huebler fan page and a very active set of collector pages. He would sell the cue in less than half an hour at the high end of the spectrum, What you should ask is why? Well those that know, know its an early custom shop unit, they would also know that is is one of...
