I love these cues they hold a special place for me

this one is not exactly a copy of Willie Mosconi's Balabushka

But it is an attempt

Evan Clark,who is one great cue maker,told me that he did something very special
when making these cues

In his opinion,he felt they would be exceptional playing cues

i bought hundreds of cues from Evan and he was not in the habit
of making wild claims


Beautiful cue in every way,I hope someone who loves schon cues gets this one

Those who think so called custom cues hold a great superiority over
schon cues are greatly mistaken

furthermor ,these tributes seem to hold their value and have increased in price

best wishes
dean

Wrap

Cortland stopped production in 1976 and Penn continued making it for a few more years - Gus Szamboti used Penn after Cortland stopped production.

Are you interested in the cue? Need pay pal?

I keep turning back to this thread

Evan told me he really worked to make these special

I have no ax to grind,but I would recommend this cue to you
I think you ought to buy it right now if you can afford it

I own 2 of the ones with ivory joints and i really
like these Balabushka ones too

nice irish linen wraps

Who dodn't line up the rings
Szamboti,Balabushka or Schon ?

The correct answer is ,all 3 did not line up the rings

I am amazed at the people who criticize cues for sale,
not only is it against the rules,but it it is a nasty
thing to do.The kind of thing you would expect from a guy without feedback

Evan told me that these tributes were the best playing cues ever.

I don't know why this one hasn't sold,it is a great AZ person with impeccable reputation and a fantastic cue.
