Adam BSP merry widow

[MCP]

Picked this up recently.
I Did a little digging and found a old 2005 thread about the Adam BSP ---
some points of interest - from that thread (Adam cue co.)

The BSP cue was made by Adam Japan early to mid 90s.for the Japanese Domestic market only. Adam made the design like Balabushka cue that time. Probably made around 50 pieces.
This obviously was a simpler model. (Merry Widow)

In those days Adam made 2 lines of domestic market which were ASP and BSP.
ASP was 18 threads pin joint and Adam Special Pocket cue line and BSP was 14 threads pin joint and Balabushka joint Special Pocket cue line.

Very cool.

Probably not hard to find an original shaft for a second. I would guess an Adam Balabushka shaft would match perfect.



Nice find! :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:


Heck, I think I like that better than the Adam GB cues.......

Yes, the joint and pin look like the Balabushka line and it has the same thick silver ring in the collar.

I dig it. Some of the old Adam cues played great as I recall. Probably been several years since I had one in hand but the older ones always felt solid and predictable.

As was cited in another thread here:

Dick Helmstetter was already one of the most accomplished cue makers in cue making history.

That's nothing to sneeze at coming from the Black Boar web site. :smile:
