As far as cue builders who were good players a few come to mind for me Garten Bierbower- he was a road player at one time in his life and Max Eberle stated he was the best 9 ball player he ever saw. Dennis Searing- I heard he played on the pro curcuit in Florida for a short period of time...

Yeah, but it would make for a funny story when people ask how I got shot.

You just gave me an idea. I buy that chalk and re rap it with the master logo. Then when I'm in a cash game I set that chalk out for my opponent to use and just use my own personal chalk. Not bad huh.

It's funny, it seems those cues are becoming somewhat collectable just due to the story behind them.

I don't think many custom cues will be a good investment like they used to be. The reason the old school cues like Balabushka and Szamboti are valuable is because the kids growing up in that time period knew that's what the pros and rich people had and when they became older and more wealthy...

Thanks for the info everyone. The seller had it listed on Marketplace for $1500 but he stopped answering my messages so I guess he sold it to someone else. Oh well.

A Bob Harris is a cue you get if you want to feel belittled and ripped off at the end of your purchase.

On a serious note, I think the best in terms of design is Black Boar. I've never played with one but I've seen some in person/online that look incredible. Of course many cuemakers only do custom orders so they are limited to the design of the customer. Playability wise I'd go with Garten...

Those 3 are not even close. My top 3 is 1. Players 2. Action 3. Bob Harris

Both shafts are a little over 30 inches. Shaft 1 4.25 oz 12.91mm Shaft 2 3.81 oz 12.66mm They both have a slight taper roll but the tip and ferrule stay on the table throughout. They came off a Prince/Davis cue and are in excellent condition. $90 for the pair including shipping.

I have the opportunity to purchase this cue and was wondering if anyone can tell if it's authentic and if so what the approximate value is. I don't have any specs as of yet.

I was wondering about good ole Chop Doc recently as well. I really enjoyed his input on things pool related.

Yeah, I may just order one. Just checking to see what's out there first

Needs to roll straight and have a shaft that is atleast 12.8mm

I've tried all the denominations from 1 to 100 dollar bills. The 1 dollar bill from 2011 by far works the best.

It's an easy test to do, take a large and small diameter shaft and hit the same point on the cue ball while aiming at a specific point on the rail with side spin using the same speed. You will notice the smaller shafts causes the cue ball to go more left or right when it hits the rail. Stu Scarbro

The smaller the shaft, the more spin it will put on the cue ball when you hit it off center. That's why some people will say you have to be more accurate because it's easier to put unintentional spin on the ball. As for why you would play with different shafts depending on the game, it's because...

Why take a chance buying a shoe that doesn't fit when you can just buy every size available? I like that guys style and it looks like a very nice cue

Do you have any recent photos of the cue? The photos posted are from a Facebook listing in 2020

Bump, still looking. I have a John Bender cue for sale I'd be willing to trade. I'd prefer a 4 pointer with Stainless steel joint
