My friend picked this up a few weeks ago from a co-worker who had told her it was a Balabushka but i highly doubt that from the joint and other issues. Have been told maybe an older Adams anyone have any guesses?

Has all the looks of an inexpensive import.

Whether Adam made it or not, this particular example was built in a Chinese factory, and not very well.

The Adam Japan cues are tighter and better quality. I wouldn't compare the blue book value of high quality Japanese cues with this one.

cue doesn't look like much but is dead straight and hits well

Please post a pic of the whole cue. Initially, it appears to be a copy of an Adam.

Hate to be so picky but the name is "ADAM" cues not 'Adams'. It was the name of David Forman's(creator of the brand) son.

oh i always thought it was more of a last name thing, guess Adams sounds silly as a first name
