I will forward your message to Ernie but he doesn't always reply to my messages.

I would like to buy both balls. Was should I do next?

This is a Gus Szamboti cue that no one else has worked on. I will take a video when I roll it on a pool table but it has been straight every time I have checked it before. Maple forearm with ebony, veneer and inlays. Ebony with inlays below the green speck Irish Linen. Butt weighs 15.7...

If you would like to learn how the diamonds connect with adjustments I suggest you contact Bob about getting a copy Systematic Billiards..

Has anyone looked at Allen Gilbert's booklet, Systematic Billiards? It's not the first billiard system but Allen included adjustments for all his systems in the booklet. His Short Rail System with adjustment helped me hit the lowest numbered ball when I played 9 Ball. There other systems in...

Thank you and do you have a PayPal account? If not please tell which payment method you would like to use. Please be sure to include your shipping address. I usually ship the same day I receive the payment.

$100 on AZB, it is also listed on eBay for $135 because of the cost to sell on eBay. I bought this in the 1980s when I was going to try to make pool cues. I quit when I figured out how hard it was to make a good cue. I have received AZB positive feedbacks on my previous sales. I am in Los...

Jimmy was a excellent 9 Ball player. A indication of how good is in the late 1960s the Billiard Palace on the second floor of a building in Bellflower Boulevard had some of the best players in the country and no one would drive across town looking for Jimmy. To be fair Jimmy also did not drive...

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...
