Joel Hercek is finishing up one for me and I have NO idea what the design is. Seeing the cues from Joel's batches over the past 12 months, I KNOW it's going to be killer

Larry Vigus

I'm buying a cue that has already been made by AZ'er Larry Vigus..aka 63kcode. It's a 60' cue with cocobolo into 6 dirty maple points and a curly maple handle. The cue looks amazing and was exactly what I wanted in a cue. The pin is a 5/16x14 and it's a flat faced wood to wood joint. It was like he made it for me without knowing I was going to buy it.

He is also making me a matching jump break with a lyptus shaft and a G10 tip and ferrule combo. I can't wait to get my cues. Larry has been great to deal with.

Mike Pancerny

I've got Mike Pancerny converting my old 1950s Titlist and should have it in about a week.

Building it sleek and simple, just like an old Balabushka Titlist:

> Full-spliced Titlist butt from joint to bumper
> Delrin butt cap
> Black joint collars with silver rings
> Stainless steel joint with 5/16-14 pin
> Brown bumper
> White w/green speck Irish linen wrap
> 13mm Pancerny shaft
> 13.25mm Predator 314-2 FAT shaft

I'm with you Dean, Paul really does outstanding work when it comes to details AND playability...Thanks for sharing, I always enjoy your input. Like everyone...I'd sure like to see the pictures once it's complete.



Thanks louie, It is an Al Bautista...one of my main players, along with my Larry Vigus. Both are 60" cues and it's a flip of the coin as to which I'll use on any given day LOL...

Also, there seems to be quite a few Murrells on the list...No doubt about Kenny's ability as a cue maker, and I can't wait for my 60"er!!

That is coming along quite nicely Brent, thanks for the sneak peak!

From my original post in this thread I've received my RAT and love it.
Lee from LP Custom says my cue from him is only a few weeks from completion.

I still have one build out there, not sure yet when I'm going to be getting it but it'll definitely be part of the daily player rotation if not leading the pack when completed.

Lee Peppers- 4 point/ 4 veneer gaboon ebony points into a nicely figured dark as well as rich piece of cocobolo with a linen wrap and hoppe style butt with a stacked veneer pack matching the points. It's going to be well paired with a couple old growth shafts with that rich golden color and some character in their grain. Still have a few things to iron out in the build but no matter what, it's going to be well built, a solid player with a smooth hit and lastly it'll be one pretty cue.

Good shooting!

My new Paul Drexler cue/John Davis blank - Classic Look!

Paul Drexler just did a great job in finishing a John Davis blank (ebony into padouk) with classic notched diamonds and dots (a la Balabushka). I'm very impressed with the workmanship and the quality of both blank and finished cue. I have the highest praise for both of these artisans.

57 1/2" - 12.75 mm tips - 5/16 piloted joint - stainless joint - Delrin butt cap - classic brown/red rubber bumper
