Was it really a 1,000 dollar cue 25 years ago? Maybe it's better cue than I thought, but if you read the ad, it's, well, an ad, not a description of the cue.
A little history lesson for you and tge 90's. Things were very different back then as far as cues. People were getting good money for cues and pool rooms were selling them because you couldn't get a discount buying direct like you can now, ordering on line.
New York and New England.
Mr. Tascarella. Always a sign of excellence.
Mr. Drexler. Paul worked tournaments and furthered his Different by design theories.
The start of the Samsara boom.
Mr. Drexler stopped doing tourneys and I started. Paul and I are still friends.
Pete Campbell cues.
My cues
Joe Callaluca cues.
Pool rooms and Cues
Country club USA. Wow! What a room. Great action, incredible food. Pro shop and all cues. Dave Cunha who I called Poppa Dave, and got away with it. Dave would let me work his tourneys and lock me in at nite to save me Hotel fees.
Woburn, Nice room, home of Jerry and Nadine and Skip of Skips tips. They had no trouble selling cues there and Skip was an advocate for just about every Cue maker.
Brighton Billiards. Dave Egdol. The original best kept secret when it came to a player. Til this day, the room is closed but Dave knows every Cue maker and does what he does.
Accu billiards. Mike and Gail X. They sold everything from Meucci, Heubler, Joss, Robinson and Southwest.
The moral to the story. People were doing just fine spending good money on cues before the Internet boom.
