This is a result of another thread in the for sale section. I believe this should also be here.

In response to those of you who wanted to see pictures of Steve "The MIZ" Mizerak's famous Balabushka cue, here is a picture of Steve and myself with his cue. Over 25 years ago, Steve offered me this cue for 10K, I wasn't sure if he was serious and always regret not buying his cue.. The Balabushka cue in this thread was another of Steve's cue that George made for him. I have played pool with both of these cues and I can tell you, they are both fantastic hitting cues. The cue in this thread is and will always be one of the most famous cues George built: Owned by 2 Great World Champions and winning the 1976 World Straight Pool Championship by Larry Lisciotti. I tried to buy this cue from Larry but he wouldn't sell......... I understood why after playing with this cue...... it doesn't miss !!! I can attest to the authenticity of these cues and are included in my top 10 all-time favorite Balabushka cues .... it is a great reminder of the friendship I had with both of these great players. It is a great cue that deserves a great home......... Congratulations to the proud new owner wherever you are.. I hope this answers some questions for your readers and you enjoy the picture.
Best regards,
