The decal is applied with water then after it is dry you must protect the decal with a clear coating. $40 each. I only have a few left

I never heard about 7 rails but Mike Massey would set up a draw shot on the end tail of a 9 Foot Gold Crown and would easily draw cue ball 4 rails. On some of of his shots, based on the speed of the cue ball going around the table, if the angle off the forth rail was long enough to catch the...

My Tad cue has a 5/16 18 and I am wondering if you are willing to meet in a pool room in Los Angeles.

Sorry, I did notice I wasn’t signed into my AZB account, I’m 75 and I can’t remember what I had for dinner last night. I’m not sure but I think I have three rolls, I will check and mess again by tonight.

Blue Mountain was either going out of business or about to go out of business when the only color I could buy was the Black with white specks. There were sold in one pound spools and this spool with the paper roll and plastic bag weighs 20.3 ounces. I do not remember how many cues it will...

Thank you for replying. Human nature being what it is I'm guessing some readers will think I am not bing truthful. Some of Ernie's machine are covered, I was there one time after he finished using the machine when he answered the phone without covering it. I couldn't help myself, I went over...

Spend a million dollars on a shop to make cues. When Ernie read this post he said buying the equipment was only the first step, he then modified each machine, sometimes a complete rebuild to be sure it would hold the tolerances, for each step necessary to make the best cue he could make. Ernie...

My choice is Ginacue by Ernie Gutierrez because when he started making cues in the 1963 he changed the way cues were made. Today, 61 years later, with his latest crosscut maple cue Ernie continues to change the industry.

I'm changing my GOAT question because I should have asked about cue makers who were the best of their era. I am also interested in an individual not a company and I'll start with what Craig Peterson said about Balabushka. Craig said the first time he saw a Balabushka, without touching it, he...

The headlines and news releases said Ernie was arrested for smuggling Ivory, this is not accurate. A buyer was arrested when he tried to take cues with Ivory he bought from Ernie out of the U.S. After the buyer was arrested and charged with smuggling and Ernie was charged for aiding and...

Has any other cue maker used crosscut maple in a cue? The inlays are Gold and Silver. My first impression of the cue was it was stunning. I like his signature does not take away from the beauty of the cue. My next post will be about Ernie putting a new tip on my Ginacue. My replies to...

In the late 1960s the first good cue I bought was a used Tad for $40. $40 doesn't sound like much today but back then I was going to Junior College and working part time making $1.65 an hour before taxes. Because the better players had an extra shaft I thought I should have an extra shaft so...

Thank you for following up but I am still firm. A different interested buyer sent me a link to a Szamboti that is virtually identical to my cue on Cornerstone Custom Cues that is listed for $13,750. Their cue has been refinished and has new shafts, my cue is, as it was, when Gus made it and it...

The Cues is 58 inches long. The butt weighs 14.7 ounces. One shaft weighs 4 ounces and the other shaft weighs 3.9 ounces. Both shafts are 13 mm. I will post a picture of the unused tips in a day or two. I prefer local pick up at my bank Los Angeles $5,000

In the 1970's K55 rubber was used on Billiard Tables and K66 or Super Speed rubber was used on Pool Tables. There was a physical difference between K55 and K66, I do not remember which but one had a slightly rounded top while the other had a slightly flatter top. Sometime in the late 1980s or...

I have a Raymond Calvert that I bought in the 1980s. I hit balls with one time and like most of my collection I put it away and never played with it again. Please let me know it you would like to see some pictures.

Canadian Ross Nichols, an excellent snooker player showed me Front Hand and Back Hand English and it worked great while he was coaching me. After Ross left, without his guidance the BHE and FHE stopped working and it ruined my straight in stroke. It took a week for me to regain the confidence...

I only rolled the cue when it was assembled. I will ask my friend with the pool table when I can stop by to roll the butt and shafts separtely.

The cue has been sold. I bought this cue from John when he would make the drive in from the Santa Barbara area to play in the first Saturday of the month 9 Ball single elimination tournaments for B players. Bill Duke who ran the tournament handicapped the Top players, Keith McCready, Hawaiian...
