Do I want to play ? ABSOLUTELY...
I've played EVERYDAY at my pool room for years but At this point no big rush to return. I'LL probably wait a 2-3 weeks to see how I feel...
Corey Duel is a wonderfully talented and versatile player. He plays ALL GAMES well.
I think he is playing his best 1-Pocket today.
Today, the competition level is more fierce than ever before. The influx of NEW YOUNG talent from around the world. Kaci, Gorst...
Listing says build on Burton Spain Blank... Many cue builders used B.Spain blanks back in the day.. Every "era" had a certain/ similar style.
From what I've seen Verl Horn almost always labeled his cues "HORN" on the butt cap.
Without a clear indication ( or...
You guys have been wonderful. Thank you for the many nice responses. I appreciate the care and attention you've given me regarding this matter. I'm very pleased.
The general consensus appears to be Eddie Cohen or Scott from Proficient.
To PRED : Yes, If I must...
I accidentally CRACKED (Split) the BUTT CAP for my Bill McDaniel Cue.
I Missed a shot and " lightly punched" the cue into the carpeted floor and it Split... FYI. To my fellow pool players, Don't do this.
Can anybody repair or make me a replacement Butt Cap...
There are many wonderful "Modern Day" cue makers. Here's mine.
DPK, Searing, M.Bender, SOUTHWEST, Black Boar, HERCEK, J. Showman, Manzino, Barenbrugge, HALEY
YES. I think you're right. That's the proper terminology. Thanks for the correction.
I seem to have a HARD TIME finding one... Maybe I just need to get one custom made.
Hi AZ'ers
Looking for 3/8 x 10 SHAFT. Must be BIG PIN. (McDermott does NOT fit... Hole to small.)
Preferably Black Collar with BRASS RING. Straight and no wobble.
Thanks for Looking.
This GINA looks ancient. I would guess one of his earlier piece. Only Ernie would be able to accurately authenticate the vintage.
Needless to say, this is a very simple cue. Just because it's old may not mean it's valuable.
I spoke to Ernie (North Hollywood...
Carlos Coll builds cues in Los Angeles. (I think in the Santa Monica area...)
How fancy of a COLL CUE are you looking to buy ?
There is a NICE ONE on EBAY. Search for it and Check it out.
Good Luck
UNDER $75.
Vintage Mali's (Vikings, Adams etc..) have some collectibility but you have to ask yourself "CAN I GET MY MONEY BACK...?" Aww forget it. For a $75, have fun with it...:) ENJOY !!
Thanks for the info.
I tried contacting Rick at Esoteric on several occasions but of NO AVAIL.
But WITHOUT the flared butt plate, NO engraving in Pin, I just couldn't pull the trigger. I'm always a little suspect with things you can NOT authenticate or...
Carmeli Balabushka
Nice looking cue..
Does this cue have a Carmeli Insignia anywhere on the cue ?
I believe Carmeli either "signs" his name or used a "AC" Logo on the butt cap.
What Year Model is this cue ?

Omega/ dpk
Thanks for your reply.
This OMEGA cue is listed on EBAY right now.
There is NO marking on the pin...
There is NO photo of shaft insert...
I'm not familiar with OMEGA/ DPK's ring work.
Sometimes a talented cue maker can make "copy cat" cue and...
Can anybody confirm if OMEGA/ DPK cues have any Markings, insignia's or LOGO's on the cue ?
I'm lead to believe OMEGA's doesn't.
I'm reluctant to buy any cue with NO Markings on it.
If anybody knows, please let me know.
Regards
