The US distributor for Longoni is Hector Rosas. He will probably be at the Sang Lee Open tournament in August in NYC. He has a web site too.

Schuler is also a good choice.

There are several custom cue makers who specialize in carom cues, including Dennis Dieckman and Ron Kilby.
 
www.layanicues.com is also a good place to look, they have a new line of carom cues.

I believe Thierry Layani just returned from a trip from Europe when he sold a lot of his new carom cues to the European 3 cushion players.

There is a also Adam, if you are interested in something very traditional and inexpensive.

Hope this helps.

Hi Brandon,

I come from the Netherlands where 3-cushion is still pretty big. I'd guesstimate that 80% of the good players here use a longoni. If I were to buy a carom cue today, I would have no doubt about which brand: Longoni, they start at about 150$ over here, the three star are at 250+, five star 1000+

Edit: Slight rephrase, If I were to buy a production carom cue today, I would....

Paul Rubino also makes 3 cushion cues and I suggest you take a good look at them. He will also be at the Sang Lee tourney in August. They start around 600.00

Brandon, I have the following 3 Cushion Billiard cues for sale.

These cues are Willie Hoppe replicas made by Helmstetter.

The cues are offered on the Billiard Warehouse for $440 for the WH-2 and $380 for the WH-1.

I will offer the WH-2 for $350 and WH-1 for $300 both come with two shafts which are straight.

The above price also includes shipping, Pm me if interested.

Thanks Craig
