Cue ID: Updated Pictures

mchnhed · Aug 4, 2019

I took better pictures of the cue(s) I bought yesterday.

Someone here on AZ said they were trying to buy the same cue(a) but the seller never responded. I also had to text him over 5 days to get him to respond.

He said he was a winning player out of High Times in Bellflower with many trophies.
He was selling the cues because he was retiring and had found Jesus.
Very nice guy to sell me his cues and case.

This Rambo style cue has a strange butt cap that when scraped (on the inside) smells and and turns white. Does not feel like plastic. The strange phenolic joint was added by him to firm up the shot. Maybe it had broken tip?
Why not just make a whole new joint rather then add it and glue to the original ring?
Normal length to the shaft and when screwed together.

No weight bolt but it has brass threads.
Takes a normal threaded weight bolt.

Any help on an ID would be appreciated.
BTW....I am not flipping this, I want to shoot with it.

We already told you what it was. Your pictures confirm that.

Isn't it an ADAM? Thought somebody id'd it in you earlier post.

Just verifying with closeup pictures of butt cap and points.

What about the butt cap that turns white and has an organic smell when scraped?

I am also trying to post some pics of the Sneaky Pete that has three different point lengths in pairs for an ID.

Thanx

I already identified it in the other thread. I was correct. I promise.

As I thought, the shaft is not original.

Stop scraping the butt cap. It's synthetic. I promise.

With the work it needs, it's not worth much.

Bakelite has a smokey smell when scratched

ideologist · Aug 4, 2019

It's not ivory, jeez.

Good find on your pawn shop excursion, but it's not a Balabushka

mchnhed · Aug 4, 2019

Ouch! Just Curious

Thanks guys for your words of encouragement.

I still haven’t heard from the ultimate authority of down and out cues....Justin.

You're certainly taking a shot at becoming that authority. Maybe if you wait a week and post different angle photos, you might get a different answer

Thank you for the warm welcome.

A lesser man would have given up after 4-days of texts.
Persistence pays off

Not really. The op has started two threads about a $75 cue. His questions have been answered, yet he still holds out hope that his cue is something special.

In that case we need to toughen things up a little.
For instance you purposely undervalued the cue by at least $25
in an attempt to middle the deal, and score a cool 25 bucks.

You need to stop sniffing that dust your scraping of the butt cap.

Idk what the heck your referring to with this remark but as long as you amuse yourself what do I care.

My bad. I assumed you were the op. I assure you I'm not trying to step on someone's action with a cue like this involved.

This dude needs to name his league team the "Butt Sniffers". Seriously, its a decent old ADAM. Worth a C-note or so. Move on.

Warm welcome, seriously you've been here for 2 years! Maybe you should start another thread to see what kind of chalk goes best with a cue that has a butt cap that smells when you scratch it?
Congrats on your new cue.

I learned looooong ago not to scratch butt and smell it...……
