    Famous cues

    Was wondering if people know whatever happened to the Cues of past pro's and what kind of cues they played with ? I'm sure some must have been sold at auction Like Mosconi's. In my area... Boston Shorty had a nice looking older Viking cue That he used quite a bit. Bill

    Cues that should no longer be played with

    Hello Can anyone recommend what a general rule seems to be on what price point cues get too expensive to use rather than to just collect. It seems like a lot of the pro's today use more of a player's grade cue, and years ago using fancy expensive cues was quite common. Not as many Szamboti's...
